"You'ro vo much taller than I am that I had to put a nightdress on you out of my mother-in-luw's trousseau,"" she remarked irrelev- antly. "Cousin Ada looks like the god mother in Cindérella, with the cane and all," remarked Patricia, who never lilied to be long out of a con- versation, and was not delicate in her consideration of feelings, But Mra, Kingsway only laughed, "And my nose, 100," she added cheerfully.

Tt was worth hearing about. and only recalled Mrs, Biren's by ita difference; a beautiful old oblong japanned tray all bright irredescent patterng, such as Nina had bid high for at the last auction they attended, and failed to get; but more perfect. On it was sewn large two-handled bowl, blue and white, with a pine-cone pat- tern; besides it lay an embroidered napkin and an oddly shaped clumsy silver spoon, Helen cried out: "Why, they're all museums pieces!" &he knew u good deal about old glass and silver and China. She'd had to study such things to help Nina, and besides had a natural love for them. She loved overything that was heauti- ful. And these were each lovely of their kind, "Yep, heirfooms", said Marietta with pride. "The soup's good just the same. The Kingswidys is queer that way, Xf ¥than was Hyin' down suller where nobody sees him he'd use this sort of things just the same, And there was a time he 'could have used the money the stuff brought. Here, 1¢' me take the 11d off." She set tho tray across Helen's enwey, and propped her up. Helen found hersell really hungry; she rarely took more than a glass of milk for luncheon, and this morn- ing hadn't wanted mueh breakfast, She dipped the oddly shaped spoon , fect cream of mushroom soup, the jur--most of the time found the food was very good; a per kind Nina never had because it was fattening. Marietta scarcely waited for her to be through before she began to ask questions. "How'd you get in?" she de- manded. "All I know is, Mr. It. han came in with you in his arms like a big doll=-he's strong as a horse, And that imp of Satan he brought home from France after John Kingsway died dancin' around him all the time askin' questions, s0 I never got time to find out anything." There was a note of defraugihent in Marietta's voice; for times. when Marietta Clarkson didn't find out anything were said in the village to be rare. Helen hastened to tell her something.

Patricia, who had been swept out by the doctor, slipped in again the minute Marietta was gone. "Ars you through being stun- ned?" she demanded. As she stood over Helen 'her startling blonde beauty was more manifest than ever. She was like a small Valkyr, it occurred to Helen; her features, clear-cut in miniature, her thick blonde hair, her slim erectness, all giving an uncanny feeling that here was a grown woman masquerading as a ten-year-old child, "Yes, I am. Why does Marietta call you an imp of Satan?" demand- ed Helen lazily. "Because there isa"t a soul on earth can manage me, except cousin Ithan, and he's away a lot," state ed Patricia with complacence, smoothing down the close~fitting sweater which was just the blue of her eyes. 'You simply can't reason with me, and punishments have no effect!" "How do you know?" asked Hel- on, "I've had four governesses in six Patricia blithely, "and they all safd it. To Ethan's mother.

The idea that she could bore anyone was evidently new. "Why don't they send you to school * Patricia loked a litle embarrass ed for the first time. "Father's ideas of education were different," she said education ruined women's charm. He always talked to me like that. We were each other's favorite friend." She caught her lip in her teeth suddenly, and her eyes filled with tears. "But he left me fab-fah' lously rich," she gasped defensively, Helen reached over and caught her in her arms. "You poor baby,' she said, "1 understand.' The child pulled away, haughty and eregt." "He said Kingsways never cried," she sald, Then she spoke to Helen with an assumption of courteous patronage which closed any pos- sibility of further sympthy: "You- 're still feeling stunned, aren't you? I'll go let you rest." Helen, left alone, found her mind taken out of itself for the first time in months. Patricia was inter esting. Helen remembered vague- ly, now, hearing of a John Kings way, very wealthy, "higher headed than the most of the Kingsways even," Tacy had sald, whose wife had left him. and who had then buried himself In Europe. Evident ly she had also left the little girl, and her father, embittered and whimsefeal, had made her a confid- ante and plaything --haltf older, halt younger than her years, caring lite tle what hs did to a plastie, senti- tive 1itt1é mind. .., She was sudden- lv awed by the strength of the Kingsway tradition, Even this Nttle impish girl-child was held by {te "Kingsways never cried." She be- gan to understand Ethan Kings way's character better. He had the hand of a dozen generations of "steel-and-velvet cavaliers" on his shoulder, No wonder he wouldn't stop being responsible for the vil- lage, no wonder he wouldn't turn the Kingsway place Into cheap building lots, no wonder he expect- ed such terribly hgh standards from people!
