i hadnt bought it it was only four dollars and ive soon some that werent half so pretty for ten isnt it all right t i ob yea child elisabeth was the baby and he could not beer to scold her but dont you buy anything else on credit j then as elisabeth ran upstairs he went into hla study he would sit down in his own particular corner think ever what be would bare to to the children tonight it would have to be tonight this parasol busi ness of elisabeths had settled that his tired cjrtm welcomed the shade of the library then they distinguish ed a white figure in his deep morris j chair it was helen with a book she looked up a little absently helgbho father l hot isnt ltr she said and then went back to her reading for an instant mr underwood gaaed about him to but tired eyes the other chairs looked uncomfortable besides be wanted to be alone it was six oclock now at half past six they would have dinner and in the interval ho must formulate the little speech that be would have co make them afterwards he would go up to his own room that was not so cool but there was a couch there and he would ho down he hoard wilton whistling omowhere in the house that would keep him awake and at bis task if ha felt any desire to shirk lt and sleep until the call for dinner i wiltons whist lo grew louder as mr underwood wept toward his own room he remembered that the boy went in there to dress often he was there now with the shutters cung wide and the hot western sun streaming lo father where are your studs t ho oaked a little impatiently im going out this evening and i wanted o got everything ready to dress right after dinner mr underwood sat down on the havent you any desk and stood looking down at the neat pile or letiors to- be answered he would prepare his answers to tha important onea tonight lt would be a relief to him to have something to do in c edge of the bed studs of your own yes but they arent half so good am yours and i want to be extra fine mr underwood sighed when the bo had gone it seemed almost insuffer ably bot to him in plte of the oootlag breese ha would go dowu and read the evening paper unless robert were already reading it finally he sat down in tioienstroom i which was dark and cool and where a i breese from the south waved the longj white curtains back and forth it w a beautiful room with its deep bay it had originally been his own but helen had had her uonvalesoence there after a long ulm mother died and nevermore backr hltting tbero he thought how mis taken is the belief that time will heal sorrow ho wanted their mother and needed her mono than he had ovjir needed hor since she had died koi ne put it to himself plainly he had failed signally in the upbringing of his children a few moments however he stop ed work and putting out the ligtt sat down by the window to think things out he thought first of dodge who had caused the trouble then he put the thought of him out of his head it was no use crying over spilled milk dodge was gone and he stood his bondsman ho could think of half a dosen places where he could borrow the money he would take from his re e fund at first and then borrow if he needed to replenish that then as a sudden loneliness swapt over him he realised that be must face the truth it was not the loss of the money or the dishonesty of a man whom he had trusted that discouraged him it was the children this was the first trouble that had coma upon him since they were old enough to understand and he could not go to them could not even tell them about it it was that which made his burden seem greater than he could bear back at the house there was not light except in mr underwoods own room there before the long mirror elisabeth and margaret holt tried on a variety of clothes gathered from all over the house they had decided to giva scenes from several plays rather than a play at the next meeting of their club and the quick change nec essary to transform portia into bqb acres and then into helen or troy would require much practice it would be easy enough to do tho first change margaret holt was say ing because you can wear your por tia costume rljrht ovtsryonr bob acre suit but the
