He glanced up at her. "Why are you so curious about it?" ‘‘Curious, is it?” Ma Brennan snorted indignantly. “You two’ll be more curious about what’ll you eat for supper if I don't get on up street to market!” “We’ll go to market for you. Mar*’ Sallies offered. "Honest. I ain't tired any more—!" “ ’T is in your bed ye should be for a month to come, after what they done,to ye!"

Mike, you have to be in trouble among strangers to learn what your own folks mean to you!” “I don’t.” Mike replied softly and a he raised to his lips the little hand on which since the previous evening a small diamond had gleamed. “I’ve known, always, since you were just a little girl!” Sallie leaned against him con tentedly.

“We're the scandal of the neighi borhood." she sighed. “I don't mind a bit. do you? Why, Ma, what have j you got on that cape for? It’s warm ; as summer!” “I've a chill, dearie. Here conies ! Mrs. Noland an' Jim. I've not time j to talk to thim noty. but you might ast him would they stay for supper. There’ll be plenty.” Ma Brennan had reappeared wrapped in a voluminous cape of ancient vintage and nctw she took her way toward the railroad bridge, stop- ; ping only for a word with her old 1 friends. Mrs. Nolan and her son could not ! accept the Invitation for supper, it : appeared, hut their call was succeeded by several others, and just as dusk was settling down Ilse Thorkinsen AJj> S''ux\' IN THE TOIL WORN PALM I WERE FOUR SUPERB 5 DIAMONDS. crossed the bridge, her arms laden with packages, but instead of stopping at her own gate next door she came toward them, her sallow, sharpfeatured face wreathed in smiles. “Mis' Brennan bane not roomin’ home to supper." she announced. ,# I tank I put dese in kitchen? She say dey bane for you. an' Michael should fix dem.” “All these. Ilse?" Mike took the packages from her. and Sallie asked wonderinglv: "But where's Ma gone? eShe said she wouldn’t lie Jong—"She say someting 'bout ole Mis' Cooper’s’ man. dat he bane took real bad an’ she go over an' help Dat's beautiful, ring. Sallie! I am so happy for you. not only dat you are alive bo- do you have your own man!" “Bailie, dearest, look! What has Ma oeen up to? She’s sent us a regu > Jar fea*t!” He had lighted the lamp in the kitchen and put more coals on the fire and the old room looked very cheerful and dear to the girl’s eyes as she halted for a moment in the doorway and then flew to his side. “A jar of cream and fresh straw berries, so early in the season! Oh. what's this from tile Elite Restaurant? Fried chicken, all done up in separate paper!” S?Ulie marveled. ! “Here’s a head of lettuce, too, and a I bottle of salad dressing, whicti she swore she'd never let in her house! I do believe she's done this to give us a little party, but I wish she had come back!” Like two children at play they arranged their little feast and sat long over it, blissfully unconscious of the fight of time, and it was only when the clock on the shelf over the stove struck ten that Sallie sprang up in alarm. "Mike! Where's Ma? She’s never out as. late as this except with me. to the movies or a church festival!" “I’ll go over tq the Cooper’s and get her.” Mike picked up his hat and turned swiftly to kiss Sallie. “Don't worry', dear —!” “Hivins above, what a house you two’ll kape, with the dishes not even stacked up at this hour!’’ The voice of Ma Bren agin herself sounded from just behind them, and they whirled about to find her standing in the doorway with her gray hair hanging in disheveled locks from a bonnet very much atilt, and her face reddened and windblown. To their amazed questions she would vouchsafe no reply until she had made herself tidy, and then while Sallie and Mike arranged the supper they had saved for her she settled herself in her favorite rocker, with an odd twinkle in her eyes. " 'ho is it always givin’ me the | laugh abort readin’ detective stories?” I she asked. “Is it you, been wonderin’ cornin’ along why i there’s been no trace found o’ thim ! four big Delapierre diamonds that made so much trouble. Maybe they veren’t on that poor creature, after .T. that “Diamond Bess’ I was so uick to identify as Sallie, may God rgive me! What if they was in that lack hag. and Miss Copeland found him and hid them in a safe place till he could send the police fdr thim ?” “What nonsense, Ma!” There was touch of .impatience in Mike’s lone. ‘Miss Copeland is still delirious Lieutenant Trevor told me when I ’phoned him this morning, but It is inly ,the effect of starvation and, the awful fear she has been through. She couldn’t tell the police anything if h; wanted to. hut you can be sure those diamonds were never in that bag!" “Is that so?” Ma Brennan eyed •tint guilelessly. "Yet. if they was to '•'ime to light a good part O’ that ten l.ousand reward offered would be paid hr thim?" “Os course, but you needn’t change he subject like this!” Mike spoke i with playful severity. “Where have you been gadding?” “I was not,” Ma Brennan agreed placidly while Sallie stared. “I’ve i.een havin’ an illegant time ridln' 'round in an automobile all by myelf with Mallorans' own son up in front to drive me. though the old man Is a robber, as I tould him to his sane—” , “Look here, Ma! You’ve got something up \ your sleeve!” Mike Interrupted w,th a sudden change of manner. ’’Why were you asking me all about Hailorau’s car?” “Why was the Copeland gurl ask- | in' Hallo ran ail about it?" Ma Brennan countered. “Divil a bit would she care was It a chariot oif what as long As it to /k her quick an’ far — unless she wanted to find lit again.
