Carol turned from the corner and walked down the street She nodded gayly to young Mrs. Holt settling the baby In a shady corner of the piazza for a morning nap. "I thought perhaps the morning air would do hlui good," explained Mrs. Holt. "He cried half the night." "You've been up to the corner to see Mr. Allen off, I suppose. How long have you been married 7" asked Mrs. Holt "Two years T It won't last. You Just wait. The third year tells the story." Carol checked an Indignant reply, and moved to go. The neighbor's voice followed her: "Everything la lovely at first, and you think It Is always going to ' be lovely. You wait till your husband gets turned out of bed In the middle of the night, and see how he bears It Disturb their comfort and they show in their true colors." "Good-by- , Mrs. Holt" said Carol, resolutely. "I hope the baby will be better when he wakes." The telephone rang sharply upon her troubled meditations. Carol's old neighbors. Mrs. Hathaway and Edna, were In town and would come out to see her If she could direct them. Really enjoying their company as she did, Carol had still a sense of Impending calamity that became a surety with the second telephone message announcing that Cousin John Halcott, his wife, her mother, and the two boys, on an auto trip to Washlr ton, would spend a night with the Aliens. Her young sister, Mary, volunteered to guide the Hathaways to their train while Carol hastily made preparations. "The only thing that bothers me Is what to do with Mary," she worried to Vincent, who had arrived and was prying off Jar covers. "Cousin John and Harriet must have our guest rooms, Mrs. Carter the single couch In the den, and the two children the davenport In the living room." "Aren't you on terms with the nelghborsT' asked Mary, from the hall. "Country styleT" "With Mrs. Emerson, downstairs," said Carol, thoughtfully. Tm sure she would take you In. Mr. Emerson Is away, and she will be glad of company." "You're a wise damsel for a hick. May," approved Vincent "Poor goof!" said Mary, compassionately. "All hicks display ordinary Intelligence." "Mary, Mary I" remonstrated Carol. "'Poor rough." "When In Rome, speak as the Romans do," returned Mary, twinkling. "It's no more than courteous." Cousin John and his family stowed away for the night, Carol had scarcely laid her weary head on the pillow and dropped Into blessed sleep, when the telephone rang. It was midnight Vincent slumbered deeply. As she pattered down the hall, the bell again startled her.
