"Very weli." Lillian pave hr final decision. 'Send it up ritrht away. You know the address."

"You're point; to far too much trouble for me, Lillian,'" I began, but she turned on me impatiently. Into Many Shpo. "I'm having the time of my life," plio taid. "Besides, I'm mighty glad to have something like this to take my mind oif things." Her insouciant mask lifted for nn instant and I had a glimpse of higcrnrd lines, of tortured eyes. Then eyes and features again became animated. "Cemo on." she said. "You'll think you've been in Bagdad by the time the afternoon's over." Iong before Fhe reached the end of her quet I agreed with her boast. I trailed wondorinply after her as she threaded her way through picturesque old shops displaying barbaric necklaces and ornaments carved from the stones and material not counted good enough to bo tailed "perns." yet near in relation

Lillian looked at the best of them with an appralMng eye, and I cou'.dn't heir but hear an arrangement she made with one shopkeeper that he should ltiul her for a consideration, anything in the t-hop that she wL-lud fur the nipht of the party. Betty Has Nnvf. She made similar arrangements in other shops where lenpths of beautiful oriental brocades and lares and veilings were displayed, and in Mill others museum-like structures holding treasures of old silver and copper while I bewildercdly gave up trying to follow the kaleidoscopic involution of her fancy. "There!" she stopped abruptly outside the door of a particularly dusty antique shop. "Talk about preparedness! I've got enough ideas in my prab-b.ip of a brain so I ran match that weman nt any point. Now for heme! I'm tired to death, and I know you must be. I feel musty and dusty.

"We were both more tired than we knew, and we uttered nothing but the most necessary words until we were cosily settled tn too library with Lillian's beautiful tea service before V9.

"Xo: I have heard nothing, either." she said once, and just before she hung up the receiver, gave a fervent assurance to tho woman at the other end of the wire. "Indeed, the moment I know I will pet you on the 'phone." She came back into the library slowly, listlessly, but the look of anguished terror which had been in her eyes when she rushed to the tfle phone had vanished. Kvidently Mrs Cosprove's message had not rddf d to whatever burden she was already carryinp. Worried ami Weak. I rose to receive her as she came in, and drew a chair for her before the tire. She looked around, as if in quest of Betty, but that discreet handmaiden had vanished, knowing that if she postponed the hour of wrath it would in all probability never strike with her indulgent mistress-. 1 did not speak, for I knew' that when my friend had recovered her poise she would unburden b r

But as I sprang in affright toward her she- put up her hand and smiled faintly. "It's nothing, dear. Just pet me a glass of water, will you please";" When I rushed back with the water she slipped a small tablet from a tiny vial which she took from a hidden pocket in her pown. swallowed it. and drank a little of the wate;-. Then she laid her head a uainst the back of the chair, and I, wondering, frightened, clasped her wrist and waited until a faint color began to creep into her cheeks. Then 1 found my voice in passionate proti .-t. ' Iooc here!" I said almost roughly. "Why have you never told me about this? 1 know what those tliinL-s are. My little mother had to take them for years, but her heart was dangerously affected. Are you have you oh. Lillian!" I choked, stopped, unable to go on. Billion put out her hand, pulled mo down boide her. "Foolish m:s." she said gently. "I haven't heart trouble. I'm simply worn out nervously and physically. If I can ever pet away from everything for a few months I'll he all rii-ht a -a in. In the mean time these little thir.'-rs are an ever present help

in time of trouble, although if I ever 'atch you using them to brace up on I'll break your neck." Her lip twisted into a whimsical grimace, then she began without further rdo to explain her telephone convf rsat :on. "It was ridlculo j for me to be so upset by Mrs. Cosprove's 'phoning." sh began. "But when I went to that teU phone I was ob.;esed by the fear that -ho hid received word of Robert's dath she !s his 'next of kin.' you know." "But haven't yol: heard from him regularly?" I asked.
