His twelveyear- old ideas of fun, household benefit and chivalry were sometimes embarrassing to the family. This tijme, it was a foreign looking ^ 1 woman, and luckily Mr. Damon was busy In the library, so he didn't have the shock of seeing her first Mrs. Damon, as she lay tn bed, recovering from &n attack of flu, had the news broken to her gently by Roger, who came in and closed the door after him. "Mother, when I went down to the station to mail that letter on the* train for Dad, I saw a woman sitting there crying, and I found out she'd come to' work for some family, and they hadnt met her. She'd lost the address and could not remember their name -- isn't that dumb? So I brought her home to have something to eat--she hadnt had-any breakfast, .and was afrflld to go to a hot woav eh" "But. ddaarrllli ng, did you tell her I was sick, and that our maid had to go home for a funeral?" "Yes, I explained that we wene In a pickle, too, and were trying to decide whether Dad and I shotM go to a hotel for our •dinner.** "Well, ,you are going! It's foolish of you to stay home because the doctor won't let me get up yet. The turkey win keep, and if my fever doesn't return today, I can get up tomorrow; Mary will be back next day, and we can have our Christmas dinner then." "Well, we'll see--but now I'm going to take her Into the kitchen--she's Mrs. Schwartz--German, I guess--and get out the eggs and things for her. I told her I'd make her some toast, but that I wasn't very good on coffee. Dad could make it fine, but I was afraid he wouldn't be enthusiastic." "Hardly!" exclaimed Mrs. Damon, remembering "her husband's compter against doing anything not on the progragh ""Well, do the best you can, dear--but I Irate to think of the way that kitchen must look after two daya of male housekeeping." She went hack to her reading, and as the braise was quiet, ske finally fell asleep, making up for the hours lost worrying In the night about what her "boys" would do for holiday festivity la this bleak situation. Two hours later she was roused by a gentle tap at her door, and in response to her "Come!" Roger en* tered, carrying a dainty tray, with a cup of steaming chocolate, and some attractive little cakes. "She made It--the chocolate--and these are some kuchens, or whatever jrou call 'em--she had In her bag, like they make In the old country. And she's got all the dishes washed. I helped put 'em away--and now, what d'ye s'pose?" "She has enfolded her winga and flown back to heaven!** guessed Mrs. Damon, sipping the most deliclpua cocoa she had ever tasted. "No 1 She's got the turkey In the oven, and Is getting the dinner I I'm going to tbe phone now to see if I can locate the folks that sent for her. She remembered the name--Martin. She told me half an hour ago, but I didn't want to harry too much, because I wanted her to get the dinner xooked first.' "Oh, yon scampi" laughed his moth, er. "do right to the phone and call ap all the Martina There are so many It may take until the turkey la done, anyway." "Yes, it's pretty near ready now!" Whether Roger artfully timed his search for lost employers or not, they were located just a s d i n n e r w a s ready, and were so jubilantly grateful 4hat they told. Mr* Schwnrtz to serw tbe dinner and eat h e r o w n ; t h e y would send for her In an hour to cook their own jevenlng meal. It seemed they had expected her at another station, and had wor* rled all morning over what had hap* pened to the poor woman, as well a£ what would happen to their own poor dinner.

Old Mrs. Barton, now that her eyes were flatting, had moved to--what was the address? Yes, up this narrow alley. Marian noticed with a little tightening of her throat the sound of an automobile that came to a stop just behind her. Foolish to be afraid, but she hurried down Into V>e narrow darkness. She wished now Ae had brought some one with her, but she couldn't think of anyone but Miles Hey wood. And she knew that even if be hadn't left that afternoon to spend the holidays at home she wouldn't have asked him. Miles wouldn't understand. He was too gay, too light-hearted. The sound of footsteps behind her made her quicken her pace. Sure enough, the man from the car was following her. She stumbled on, looking for numbers on the tightly crowded little houses that almost reached the narrow v^alk. At last she found the house, and turning in swiftly, she hid behind the vines that clambered over the porch. Holding her breath, she waited to see if the man* would pass by. But as he came opposite the house he gave a furtive glance up and down the deserted street and also turned la. Marian crouched back in the corner of the vines, dislodging one of her parcels, which clattered to the floor. As the man whirled toward her, she screamed. • The door was flunfe open, sending a aha ft of light into the corner. "Miles!" Marian gasped. "Oh, I was so frightened!',' "Marian! Yon here alone? Why didn't you brintr nie with you?" "I thought--besides, you're supposed, to be out of town." "I missed my train, (stopped by tor you on my way down here, but you had gone. Thei0s an old lady here who needs glasses, so the other day I had my optometrist lit her, and when I missed my train I decided to bring them to her In time for Christmas."
