"No, it's not fair, are!" At Ruth's suggestion, the two women, wheeling Liloydy in the perambulator from which he was soon to be ousted, and with Warren whinning and naughty at their heels, walked up Valencia Street that same afternoon to see Doctor von Ampt, Cassy came home broken, It was about four o'clock when she returned to her own big room, tos- sed her bundles upon the sink board and collapsed upon the bed, "Oh, 'm so co-o-ld! Oh, darn that five o'clock whistle!' she pre. fontly sald aloud, This time last year she had not known Dan. Or no, this was just about the time he had come to pa- pa for a job. "1 wish that every month, since papa first gave me my allowance, { had put Aifty dollars into the bank I'd have it now." Perfume and silk stockings and sealing-wax, Strange things to buy! She remembered the doctor again, and her face burned, and her hands were icy. A comfort- able man: it was nothing to him, There was no question about Mrs, Wallace's. condition, and he did not know any way out of it, It wag like a nightmare! She had supposed her hears definite be- fore this. But this was no longer fear; it was terrible certainty, Cassy dragged herself up, and stagrered dizzily about dinner pre. parationhs, She had made up her mind to tell Dan on New Year's Day, but as But there you business acquaintances of Dan's, and the Archers insisted upon the Wallaces accompanying them upon @ Sunday run, and dining with them, At exactly eight o'clock that night, after a long cold drive, they found themselves comfortably set- tiled at Plerre's with a delicious dinner all ready. Cassy, by this time, was desperate with hunger and weakness and cold, She de- termined to eat everything reck- lessly, clams, chicken richly fried potatoes with cheese, saad. But she barely tasted the food when it came, The hospitalable Archers wanted to go up to thelr own far after- ward, but Dan explained that to- morrow was the first day on a new Job, and he and Cassy got on to a crosstown ear, Immediately she was very ill, and they had to get off again, They walked wretchedly for awhile, Cassy clinging tightly to Dan's arm, and after some blocks she said she felt better, "It was something you ate." "1 suppose so. And waiting so long for dinner, and getting so cold.' . "Feet wall enouth to get on ane other car?" "We could try it. But let's let's walk just a little more." "You don't think a glass of cold orangeade--7" "Oh, Dan, Please" Bhe wavered feebly, against him in the street. It was all a nights mare, getting into the car, and having a fat man give her his seat, and wondering If she were going to be sick again, . Nightmare, She was walking from the car to the house, and going up thru the garden, and hear- ing Victrolas, and shouts, and children crying, and the young Terrys in the big, smelly house.

Idly roaming forth again, they met the Archers, a brisk material 1y prosperous couple who were her hat in the center of the floor, She was conscious of nothing but exhaustion and cold; her teeth chattered. She reached blindly for her nightwear, slipped into it, roll. od into bed, and pulled the cover- ing over her, It was very cold, Christmas night might well be cold, but the day. had been hot, Her teeth chattered, and Dan, who had peen fumbling about vaguely, pale with concern and sympathy, came to touch her hands. 'You're i throat, and patted his hand, "It is, Dan," she seid, with a little effort, "How d'you know?" te asked quickly, «ios § ' » "1 asked a dostor.. Ruth's doc- rr: tor." "And he sald--" "Said there's no mistake about "Ha~=~! What do you know about that?" Dan stammered, his wistful boy's face lighted by be- wilderment and surprise, "You poor kid," he added, a little timidly a little awkwardly, Casey's cold fiingers continued to cling tightly to his hand. Bhe watched him anxiously, "Isn't there some way to----gel out of Jt, Cass?' Dan asked pres. ently, rather awkwardly and doubt. fully, Her pale face grew whiter, and ripping his hand, with sudden fear tnd entreaty in her voice, she sald, "Dan, 1 won't!" Suddenly her lips were shaking. and her face bathed In tears. "Toto got out of something, because we were afraid of it she faltered. "Well, gosh," Dan began, tears in his own anxious blue eyes, "I'd only be sorry if you---it'd be up to you--"_ He floundered. "You take darn good care of me," he added, a little thickly, after 8 pause. "I don't see Why you could- n't take care of & couple' of us little fellers." Suddenly she was sitting up, her thin arm tightly sbout him, her wet cheek pressed against his, They spoke with long hesitations between phrases, . "pan, If 1 thought you didn't mind!" "Cassy, don't ery!" "1 can't 'help ft!" "But listen, It means an awful ot of work for you," "111 love ft!" she laughed, thru bitter tears. "Kvery onc else Manages it, Dan said, in a strong voice, "Oh," Cassy breathed, on a long, tired, contented sigh, lying back luxuriously, but her Angers still holding his, "I shan't mind any- thing, now that you know, and don't care! 1'll ba all right, you n see, 1've heen worrying #0, and trying to keep up, but now I'm all right. Oh, Danny, what a relief! "You're freezing!' "'1) warm up now." He left the bedside, and began to gather her scattered things and put them away. Cassy, shuddering '| as she watched him, more than once t the puzzled look in his eyes. eaught ¢ it the darndest thing to think of us with a kid!" he said, more than once, Suddenly he left the room, and Cassy sat up, and drew the over coat he had thrown on the foot of the bed over her other bed covers, The shivering went on; she wond- ered If she had ever heen warm. "Half past ten," whe thought, looking at the alarm clock. "Dan ny'll come tb bed soon, and then maybe I'll got warm!" Ten minutos, fifteen, elapsed he- fore Dan came back, When he did appear, It was with a kerosene stove dangling from one hand, and an oll can from the other. A long, flat box, wrapped and tiled, was under his arm. "Oh, Danny," Cassy sald eagerly. "What an inspiration! Oh, now we'll be all right!" He sat it down, filled it, scratch- od a match. Upon the discolored ceiling a disc of heartening orange light appeared, the heavy, bitter cold air began to retreat to the corners of the room, "There!" He wiped his hands, and went into the kitchen, "What are you doing out there, Danny!" "Never you mind what I'm do- fng!"" He put his head tthru the half-opened door, "Could you do a cup of tea?" Every fiber of her half-frozen being stirred, "Oh, Dan, of all things in the world I'd adore it!" "And here's your new hot-water bag, Mrs. Wallace," "Dan: Wallace." "Mm?" "Did you go to the drug store | at this hour of night?" Cassy was incredulous, "I did." The heavenly incred- {hle hotness of it was at her feet: her whole body shook with the ec- stasy of returning comfort, "'Here you are," Dan said, com- ing in warily with a little board held steadily, as a tray, Upon ft were the veapot, th cream bottle, the sugar, and a shaggy heap of amateur toast, "It's one of the shelves.
