filllßJL in the FAMILY'' 7 ♦ BY BEATFLICE BUFLTON ♦

CHARTER XIX Uncle Worthy was in hia office, leaning; back in his swivel chair reading when Susan opened the door and told him that Mr. Melton wanted to see him. He jumped up eagerly and took a small glass from the top of his desk. “Hello, Mr. Broderick. HereS tome more juat like that laat atuff I brought you,’’ Susan heard Mr. Melton say to him as he went shuffling down to the side door in his house slippers. “That was very fine stuff,” Uncle Worthy answered in his hearty voice. “It should have been—at the price. How much is this?" “Same price." “Well, we can’t get along without it, can we’ Even if you fellers do hold us up,” Uncle Worthy chuckled, more cheerful than he had been for days. There was a little pause and then Mr. Melton spoke again. “This is strictly cash this time, you understand, Mr. Broderick." From her place at the end of the hall Susan could see that he still held his burly sack in his arms. She watched her uncle stroke his long chin thoughtfully for a minute or two, then put his hand into his back trousers pocket and bring forth his leather wallet. He took three twenty dollar bills from it, handed them to Mr. Melton and took the sack into his own arms. “Come up into my office," he said, “and well try it, eh?” It was almost seven before Mr Melton left and dinner was fifteen minutes later than usual. Before Susan brought ii. the d-’ssert her uncle got up from the t able and announced that he did not care for any. He was going to bed, he said, to try to sleep off a headache that he had had ever since noon. One side of his face was flushed a deep red, she noticed as he ggt slowly out of his carving-chair, and his eyelids were almost closed with puffiness. Aunt Edna made a sudden movement of her head toward John, and John got up and followed him into the hall. He went slowly up the stairs, the crystal prisms of the hall chandelier tinkled as he crossed the floor above, and then the door of his bedroom closed. “He’s all right,” John said, coming back from the hall. It was not the first time that he had stood at the foot of the stairs, waiting until his uncle reached his bedroom in safety. To all of them the whole scene was like part of a play that they had seen so many times that they knew exactly what was going to happen before the curtain went up. “Gosh al! hemlock! Did you notice his face?” John asked in a grave, shocked voice as he took his seat at the table. “Red on one side and white as paper on the other. I never saw it like that before—l wonder if he IS all right.” He pushed back his chair and ran upstairs. In two or three minutes he came back. "Yes, he’s okeh.” His voice was full of relief. “In bed already, and sound asleep.” It was eight o’clock when Susan put the dishpan on its hook behind the stove and switched off the kitchen lights. The house was very quiet. John had left directly after dinner to cover a hockey game for his paper, picking Connie Sayre up on his way to the rink. Behind the closed door of the parlor Lurie and Aunt Edna were reading, and upstairs Uncle Worthy siept soundlessly in his room. Susan went into his little office to gather up the used glasses that stood on his desk and turn off his reading light. A little sheaf of bills lay beside it, and she stopped to look at them. It was easy for they were spread out like a hand of cards—Hart’s bill; a bill from the Hermit Club, her father’s club; the grocer’s bill; the butcher's bill; the gas bill; the electric light bill; Herbst’s bill for the milk; a bill ■ from the coal dealer; the telephone bill; a bill from the plumber who made the repairs at The Broderick Arms. “All these bills, very little money in the house, and still he buys liquor at ten dollars a quart,” thought Susan, glancing up at the six brown bottles that stood on the shelf of a little cupboard beside the desk. . . . Ah, well, it was Uncle Worthy’s money, after all. and what he did with it was no one’s affair bat his own. She switched off the light and went upstairs to write a note of thanks to Connie for the breakfast coat. As she passed Allen’s room on her way to her own she saw that his door still stood halfway open just as she had left it that morn-

ing. She remembered then that this was Friday, one of his nights at law school. He would not be home until eleven or a little later. She knew because she had often stayed awake on other law-school nights, waiting to hear him come in. The evening wore on nlowly. Susan wrote her note and a short letter to Wallace. Then she washed her hands and powdered them to remove the dish-washing redness from them, carefully brushed her hair, put on her wraps and went downstairs. Lurie heard her and came to the door of the parlor to find out what she was doing. “Are you going ont?” she asked. “To mail tSese." Susan, with one hand on the vestibule door, held up the letters. “At this time of night? It’s after nine o’clock, Susan.” She said it as’

if she were telling her that it was three in the morning. “No one’s going to bother me, Lutie. I’ll be back in a second.” The door closed on her. When she came back to the house ten minutes later there were no lights in the parlor, and Lutie was sitting on the hall seat and her lips, under their coating of bright red salve, were smiling. “I just had a cigarette,” she whispered guiltily. Every now and then she smoked one. It made her feel modern, she said—“as if I still had a little youth and sip,” she confided to Susan, and Susan had never realized before how tragic that sentence was. How it summed up the narrowness end the nothingness of Lutie’s life, where the smoking of a cigarette in aecret was an excitement “Edna's gone to bed, and I’m too now that you’re in safely,” said Lutie, getting up. “You'd bitter not stay up late. . . . Did you write Wallace a nice turtle-dove letter?—l do think a man likes to get love letters just as much as a girl does, even if men are too matter-of-fact to admit it," Having never had any romance of her own. Lurie took the greatest interest in Susan’s. “I suppose you’re going to wait up in case Wallace telephones you tonight,” she added archly. “Nightynight, Chi.uie.” When she had gone Susan opened the hall door once more and let the fresh cold winter air rush in to sweep out the cold dead air with its odors of roast goose and stale tobacco and dust from the layers of gray paper padding that lay under the hall carpet. In the darkness of the parlor she co lid see the dull red eye of the g’-ate fire. There was some coal in the brass bucket that stood on the hearth and she poured it on the flames. After a few seconds it flared up and began to crackle cheerfully. On the table in the middle of the room lay the volume of Walpole

that she had been reading in odd moments for the last week. She settled herself in John’s leather rocker and began to read. A week before when she began It she hno decided that it was one of the most beautifully written and entertain ing books she had ever opened. But now, after a page or two. she laid it down on her lap. After all. what difference did it make that a man in a book fell in love with a woman? It was what happened to real people that mattered. To John and Connie Sayre. To the two middle-aged women who were moving about so softly upstairs. To Anna Oberg dancing tonight with Herbst at the Scandinavian Club, blisafully un aware that tomorrow her home and her living would be taken away from her. To Susan herself and ta Wallace and to Allen Sholes—

Susan was one of those rare people who are truthful with themselves. She had told Anna that she would see Allen and ask him to leave the side door unlocked. But she knew that that was not the reason she was sitting up waiting for him. It would have been a simple matter to write a note about the door and pin it to the wall of the side entry-way where he could not fail to see it when he came in. . . . She was waiting up because she wanted to see him, because she wanted to talk to him. But what she wanted to say she didn't know. Toward eleven o’clock the wind that had been shrieking around the house all day died down, and directly afterward it began to rain. At first it was just a sharp spatter of drops against the plate-glass windows, but by eleven water was washing down the panes as if it were trying to wash the winter’s soot from them, and Center Street was black and shining under the arc light that swung crazily in the wind. At ten minntes after eleven sho heard a street car stop at the corner and a minute afterward she saw Alien’s tall broad-stfouldered figure come swiftly along the sidewalk, his head down against the storm, and turn in at the gate. She opened the front door and stepped out on the porch. There was a fresh wet smell in the air, a smell like Spring, and the air was warmer than it had been in months. “Allen!” Susan stepped to the edge of the porch and called to him just as he reached the point where the walk curved around to the side of the house. “Allen, come in this way.” He stopped, raising his face, a white blur, in the darkness. Then without a word he came running np the steps and into the house. Rain streamed from the edge of his hat brim, and his overcoat was so wet that it looked black. (To Be Continued) .
