the desk i she said have just read the flaming soul oh i into that syllable cdrinnn tr ed to put good cheer friendship verythlng that was amiable but mrs murdock s expression did not change and what i should be inter sted to hear the 4ady went on is just why that particular book was put in this library this is she declaimed an nstitutlon vh ch endeavors to provide suitable reading matter for the young i can only regard the flaming soul as a work that will definitely be harm ful i am terribly sorry corlnna apologized i m afraid i haven t read the book this was perfectly true she had only glanced with some interest at the description of its contents on the paper jacket i heard from several people that it was quite good she offered weak ly and on the strength of that i ordered it youre quite right miss hast mgs there was no mistaking the menace in mrs murdock s tone it was brought to my attention by miss keller and i believe mrs spellman mentioned it to her both were shocked miss keller brought it to me th s morning and i considered it my duty to read the whole th ng 1 wanted to sec what was being placed in the hands of our young people i don t know what to soy said corinna ive called a meet ng of the li brary board at my house this eve ning at eight i suggest you attend meanwhile i 11 leave this copy hi re and you can make yourself familiar with its contents you 11 be asked for an explanation of your conduct corinna groaned when the lady left it was bad enough to face any member of the board singly but to gether horrors for a few minutes she thought of cutting loose resign ing her position going to new york but this incident hardly seemed to warrant any such action not yet anyway and her family would hate to see her go there was another reason for staying too and his name was jack no there was nothing to do but face the music and hope it wouldn t be too unpleas ant she smiled she could picture the three women reading with gasps of pleasurable horror and then pre venting others from enjoying the same privilege the book itself she placed behind the desk until she learned what its fate was to be the board meeting was as she had expected only worse mrs murdock still acted like a volcano undecided whether to erupt or hold its fire mra spellman maintained a d gnifled silence preferring to sig nify disapproval by a series of in dignant snorts miss keller flushed when the title was mentioned and lot it be understood that she had martyred herself by reading it it was an experience she said that i should have preferred to miss certainly mrs murdock said i for one felt i wanted to fum gate my mind alter i bad finished it corinna waited till she was spoken to the point is mrs spellman said finally what are we going to do with the volume it was your duty miss hastings to know some th ng of it before sending an order corinna spoke so contritely thank vg the ladies for discovering the nature of the book before it had a chance to harm young readers that the three women were softened but of course it must be removed from the library at once mrs murdock said more pleasantly i think we must insist upon that the others murmured of course and corinna agreed that brings up another ques tion said miss keller it was bought with public funds allowed for the library have we the right to confiscate it without paying i think not i am willing to give what it cost simply to keep it off the shelves she told corinna that she would call for it in the morning and pay at that time i think we need bay no more mrs murdock told corinna this sulked corinna she thanked them and left in her room after the rest of the family had retired she opened a drawer and- pulled a letter from ts hiding place with a smile she re read it dear miss hastings it
