I admitted that I had not. “Then 1 will tell you. It is at the‘ flap of his right-hand trouser’s pocket where he carries the loose money that he loans and ginS away.” So you see her action signified nothing ex- cept another instinctive desire on her part to fly to his defence and cover his sins of extravagance by the man- A: nn‘ivao tle of. his charities. And, against sentiment like th useless. UDCICDD. Then, too, when it comes to his lit- tle love affairs Bruce is certainly a pachyderm. You could shoot him as full of Cupid’s arrows as you could thrust a human pin cushion full of needles, and the result would be the same in each case. An unfortunate affair of the heart affects some peo- ple not unlike a mosquito. It annoys them for a few moments, and then an- other mosquito comes and the first one is forgotten. With others it gets under the skin like a “chigger”â€"fes- ters and torments and will not be scratched out. And there is where Bruce and I differ again. He is of the first class, while I am of the chigger-bitten variety. Clare nearly always came to see us‘ upon Sunday afternoons. We would usually hear her whistling as she came up the walk when she was still quite a ways distant. Clare can sing like an angel, but she much prefers to whistle like the devil. She squeaks and trebles and flats, with her lips in a pucker and her chin aslant, and the discord she creates is shocking. But 1 she never gets discouraged, and would rather shrill a few false notes through her puckered lips than Open her round 3 throat and let notes pour forth that ‘ would drive a prima donna to glaring envy. Into the house she would come 'by means of her private key with a ' fife of her lips and a rat-a-tat-tat of 1 her feet on the uncarpeted stairs, un- . til a final hollow thump would an- nounce her arrival at the portals of :my uncle’s inner sanctuary. There- .upon I would arise to a military “at- tention” and my uncle to a creaking semblance of uprightness as she threw open the door to reveal herself, sinking to the floor with skirts spread in an exaggerated curtsey of the olden days. Up to uncle she would go with a ridiculous kiss upon the bald spot of his head, and then settle light as ai puff-ball in the window seat and com- mence to chatter. Five minutes of that would put her out of breath, after ’ which she would be content to settle E down to ordinary conversation as she . isewed on the buttons missing from vâ€" w ' ‘was fitting. I would manage to catch {her eye with a significant glance and ; ,would then go down to a rustic seat *beneath the big oaks. Presently she ~w0uld 10m me. his garments, or trimmed the edges of his ever-frayed collars. For while Mrs. Tebbets was employed to do all this, Clare always reserved those tasks for herself and jealously insist- ed upon retaining her prerogatives.
