Rachel, J t"t very (curt banished, neat as a nun ctn er gray afternoon taffeta, con-i centrated on the tiny darn she was placing over a cigarette burn in tone of Mrs. Cayne's lace slips, tried to look as blank as Mr. Terriss and not miss a syllable. "Do you like - this -color on me, Peter? " Elinor Cayne asked at last. "We weren't talking about that Listen, I want Holbrook to enroll In the spring term of the university! "But I thought this year's classes . were all arranged, or -enrolled, or "He can take special work. Bet- ter for nun than loafing an8 run ning around to parties, with all these crazy kids.",. , ; Rachel wandered if Elinor's, In difference- could be as complete as it seemed. She stitched more slow ly, she must know what Mr. Cayne and his wife had to say about Hoi brook's friends, for so far she bad been able to discover nothing sig nificant about them; ' v , . "They're really very sweet, Pe ter. Of course they're young and thoughtless." Her tone .implied: "Aftd you're old and set." ? - Mr. Cayne caught the Implication fully.'-."Oh, I know you think I'm la my dotage, but that's besida the -point Holbrook must have an edu cation, this is the time of his life -when- he ought to be studying hard-" ' --- - . , -t , ' ", 'Holbrook would, study.! hard if you'd let him go to art school." ; ."'"Now, Elinor; look here.

Rachel, soon standing ready with lumps of ice wrapped in gauze, trying to look impersonal and yet concerned, was thinking in an odd, lost way; "She loves Holbrook, she loves him in that crazy possessive way I missed in Anne. I wonder why she loves him so much and didn't care enough about me even to try to keep me? I wish I could understand her better.- Queer, I've almost stopped thinking about her as my mother, it only comes on now and then.?' Aloud, "Bore's the ice, Mrs. Cayne, if you'll hold it on your eyelidsr-"-,. r ' " ' . "Don't fidget you're dripping It all over me. You are the mosf awk ward girl; here, giye it to me. Now go and see If Mr, Cayne's gone out. ; - If he has, tell Mr. Holbrook l' want to see him. If Mr. Cayne's still here, coma back and tell me and don't speak to Mr. Holbrook' Rachel hurried Into the library. No sign of Mr. Cayne. Towers was corr.Lj . room v " ' here be had t .

" ' a "What d'you needlt sb bad for?" asked Rachel. "My gracious, you're rich people,' X shouldn't think you'd need to borrow anything." The door was flung open and Mrs. Cayne stood there. , "What are' you doing in here?" she said savagely to Rachel 'I sent you; to tell Mr. Holbrook to came and sejs rdeV.
