As she thought: Oh, I am glad, glad! Let it not be too long. To be with Arthur soon! But then when Phil returned and he spoke to him, mumbling her words, feeling her tongue thick and clumsy in her mouth, she saw the terror in his eyes, and she made herself smile to reassure him; and he came toward her, urged her quickly: "Sit down, mother. Lie down. I'll call Doctor Mainton." "I'm all right, Phil," she said. "It's nothing. My hand went to sleep, that's all." He started toward the telephone; but she checked him. "No, Phil. It's nothing, really. I'm all right now." Her tongue was normal; her hand too. Only she saw that her thumb was uncontrolled, when she tried to straighten it she could not, and she thought: It's my left side, of course. As though it were asleep. If only it would not wake. If only I could sleep, sleep, all of me. Till Arthur comes. Dan's voice above-stair- s was no longer audible. Phil said heartily, fighting his own fears: "Of course you're all right! But just the same, Doctor Mainton " "I'll see him tomorrow," she promised. "At his office." ' Phil looked toward the hall, as though expecting his sister to appear. "How do you feel about that?" he asked. "About Dan?" "Barbara is the one to decide. If she is if she loves him, then I shall be happy too." She was thinking: Since I am to die, what does it matter? Certainly not to Barbara. She is so young, such a child. Dan will love her; and she will forget . . . Then she heard their voices, their steps on the stairs; and they were here, their eyes shining, yet with a sober gravity. Barbara came to her mother; and Mrs. Sentry waited, and Barbara asked slowly, "Dan has told you, mother?" "Yes, Barb." "We've been hoping and hoping he could find something!" Mrs. Sentry smiled almost "Oh, you had it all decided, already planned?" "If he could find the job he wanted, yes," Barbara confessed. "And I hoped it would be soon." Mrs. Sentry's eyes fell, so that Barbara might not read them. Dan said quickly, "I have to be ready to start work out there on Monday, Mrs. Sentry." "That is July first?" "Yes." Phil thought her voice was miraculously steady. "You will come back for Barbara later?" "I thought we'd be married at once, go to Cleveland together!" Mrs. Sentry nodded gently. "I used to think hurried weddings lacked dignity," she confessed. "But I expect they are sweeter than dignity." Nellie came to announce dinner, and she said, "Stay, Dan?" But he could not. "I've still a Job here," he reminded them. "I'll nave to run." Barbara went with him to the door; and Phil asked his mother in a low tone, "All right now?" "Of course, Phil." "If Barbara knew about you, she'd wait!" She shook her head, smiling. "I won't spoil Barbara's happiness. She loves him, Phil. Only it will be hard to have her go." They heard Dan depart, heard the door close. Then Barbara, as they moved toward the dining-roomet them in the hall; and for a moment She held her mother close. "Thank yoa," mother," she said. "Yourre wonderful to me. Dan wests to take me with him; and I want terribly to be a coward and teas-lngl- y, . . y. go." She looked at Phil, reading his thoughts. "He says even if we get married this week he can fix it so there wouldn't be anything in the papers." Mrs. Sentry said, "I'm sure he can!" Barbara looked at her keenly; and afther a moment the girl cried: "But I'm not going! I'll stay with you till till afterward, mother. I'll go to Dan then." Mrs. Sentry spoke carefully. "It's for you to decide," she said. "But I should be glad to have you stay." "I shall!" Barbara promised. "Oh mother, I shall." She was suddenly mature, a woman; and yet, Phil thought at dinner, she seemed conscious of this, and faintly diffident, so that beneath the cloak of maturity which she put on he saw still the child, terrified yet brave . . . He thought with a deep affection and solicitude: I wish she could marry Dan and go. She could if mother did not need her so. But mother will need her, tomorrow, after we see the Governor . . . Barbara was still asleep in the morning when he took Mrs. Sentry to Doctor Mainton's office. The doctor heard their story, and then with that calloused insensibility characteristic of physicians, left Phil to "She will net come?" "She will not come." said Phil He waited a little before returning to the others. They had gone out into the garden together; and he saw them through the window, walking arm in arm, his mother with her head Lent, Barbara talking in swift eager fashion. When he came out to them, she was still chattering; and he asked with a wry grin, "Broadcasting, Barb?" "Oh, what did Mr. Falkran want?" she demanded. "Nothing," he said. "Business." He spoke to his mother. "That meeting is off," he told her in tones which he tried to make casual. "Falkran is satisfied it would do no good." He saw her instant understanding; but Barbara protested: "What meeting? Don't be so mysterious!" "Why, I wanted to see Dan's boss," Phil said with mock gravity. "To see if he wouldn't meet that Cleveland offer, try to keep Dan here; but he says Dan isn't worth what they're already paying him, much less more! Says Dan can go and welcome!" Barbara laughed.

WUUami 2- 6When Phil again looked at his mother, he saw that she had dropped the telegram, had bent down to pick it up; and he saw that she seemed unable to do so. Her arm hung straight down from her shoulder; and her fingers lay with their backs on the floor, two or three inches away from the telegram, her knuckles touching the rug. Her hand was white and bloodless. He stooped for the yellow paper; and she said, laughing uncertainly: "That's funny, Phil! I was trying to pick up the telegram and I couldn't seem to reach down far enough and then I saw my hand was touching the floor, but I couldn't feel it at all." Her utterance was hurried; she mumbled the words as though her tongue were thick. One side of her face, Phil saw, was lifeless, sagging as though the flesh were dead upon her bones. They could hear Dan's voice, swift and. eager, up in Barbara's room. cry-bab- 4 BARGAINS New and Us. Srvir Home .1 Cn..
