' She was amazed that her voice sounded so natural. She sat still, her head high. Bart was lumped miser- * ably behind the wheel. "Well, I guess you know I think a lot of you, too," he muttered. "It's meant a lot, knowing you!" The finality of the tense stabbed Rose Unheeded miles speeded by. They turned. They were on the way home now, and now they were drawing up before the cottage.

Her strange tactics had rather taken advantage of him. Ellen had not come home from Mrs. Dickenson's. Rose went upstairs and undressed quickly. She did not want to talk to her mother to-night. Her serenity was already slipping, and misery was catching at her in great gusts, accusing her, saying: "If you had played the game, per- haps you could have kept him!" "No, no!" moaned Rose. "I had to tell him the truth!" But misery continued to flay her until, worn out with emotion, she fell asleep. That was long after Ellen tiptoed upstairs and paused for a moment at her door.

There are just two kinds of people in the world, Rose--givers and takers. No one but a taker would endure Mrs. Heath's tongue. A giver would get out and work for a living." "What a queer classification!" The oven door banged discreetly -- not hard enough to endanger the ris- ing eookies. Rose looked at her moth- er, and saw--wonder of wonders!-- that the veil was down.

The new girl with the bright, bob- bed hair was charming to Rose--with the charm of the girl who knows that she is taking away the other's man. Rose understood that.

Its overwhelming importance is shown by the fact that the house itself became known as "The Hall," the home of the chief person in the parish, who domin- ated the surrounding district, and to whom much of it belonged. "These castles, then, of which we see the ruins, consisted principally of the hall, supplemented by subsidiary apart ments; so did the manorshouses. As to. the difference between one form of house and the other, all that need be eaid for the present purpose is that al- though both were devised to resist at* tack, the castle was the more elabor- ately protected.
