For a few seconds the words did not seem to make sense to Cherry; their shocking import reached her, in all its deadly simplicity and she felt her throat thicken and her hands grow cold. "Or has he done so?" demanded Mrs. Marshbanks. "He he No." was all Cherry could feebly stammer. "I thought he hadn't I thought even the least sensitive person would hardly come here after any suggestion from him. I am no longer the mistress of this house," said the old lady, in a sort of cold passion, "but I am not a cipher yet! I am asking you civilly not to make it a habit to come here." Cherry sat staring at her in a fascinated horror of silence. "You know your own history," said the inflexible voice. "You know why your presence here is an an insult to decency and to me. I bitterly regret the circumstances that have given you what you seem to consider a right to regard yourself as a daughter of the house!" "I am a daughter of the house!" Cherry answered, her own words surprising her as much as they could possibly have surprised her companion. "How dare you say that!" Mrs. "You Marshbanks said sharply. have absolutely no claim. You have been well established in life; you are being cared for now. Be careful that you don't lose even what you have!" "I am not afraid of losing it, and I am not afraid of you!" said Cherry, at white heat. "I will come to this house as long as Amy and Fran and the judge want me! I wish you would go out of my room! I am sorry that any blood of yours runs in my veins!" "And you think you can go on with your college work, be asked about in good society, once your history is known?" the older woman demanded, rising. "You think that Amy will continue to think you the most charming friend in the world once she knows that you are her half sister, that you are the living reminder of her father's weakness and immorality. I think you won't risk that I think you'll realize that only you can keep your own people from being disgraced in the eyes of the world. Your own father and your mother too, you know." "Your own son!" cried Cherry. "What about Fran's own son?" Amy asked, coming in from her room, tired and cold and blown after her long ride. "What's Uncle Jud done? Why. what's . . ." She looked in amazement and concern from one face to the other. "What is it?" she asked. "What were you saying about Uncle Jud?" There was a silence while the three looked at one another. It seemed to Cherry to last for a long, long time. "There we stood like statues," Cherry said, telling Kelly about it a few weeks later, "until I thought we must all be frozen! Amy knew something was horribly wrong, and she kept asking 'What is it? What is it? and old Mrs. Marshbanks was sort of panting, and she wouldn't say anything, and I couldn't And finally Amy said: 'I know it's about uncle, because I heard Cherry say so!' " "You hadn't said so?" Kelly was lying face down in the fresh, deep grass now, biting a blade thoughtfully; he looked up at her. The sun was sinking. Below the hill where Cherry and Kelly were sitting were the laie and the college buildings and ocyond them the roofs of Palo Alto. "No, I hadn't said a word about the judge, but I had said your son and Amy heard that!" Cherry answered. "That's the whole trouble! That old fiend that old inquisi-tione- r had told me that if I didn't break oft my friendship with Amy, she'd tell everyone who I was who I am, and I said that would mean her son was in it too!" "You meant that wouldn't belp her family reputation much?" KelJy asked, with a faint smile, (TO BE CONT1SIED) f Clover Archer Herrick of Saco, Maine, has succeeded in growing a nine-leclover.
