Houses are thought. as she parked her car in the drive. A Muse that has known real living hes its pest to tall book on, like a lady who has loved And lost- I shell always be iond oi you." she said to the house as she put her key in the door. "I don't care ii you're old and un- iss-hionablo and inconvenient. You're better than a boarding house."

I'm- the most hour or two the mistress oi the "Hill" was madly busy. Windows must be ilung wide in the big square rooms .and at both side! 0d the long hail - opentlilaslmvpwirldeossedthe musty reeling out oi the house. In a closet under the stairs she found broom and oustm. an sli- anveloplng blue linen IIPIOH Ihe kept ready for these occasions. Thus equipped. April took her way iirst oi all to her own room-the room that had been her isther's nursery. Here still were Marlin Day's old toys,,his tish-ing rod and gun, the adventure books that had helped snruee his lonely. bewilder- ed little twelve-vear-old de-lllhier when m came to make her home at the Hill after his death. i-iel‘ mother Aiprii could not clearly re- member. At the thoutht oi her iather‘s iaoe. the sifllvt o! hie “ ’ ‘ ’ belonginkl. her eyes clouded and s. lurWP choked her throat. I-Icrw herd they had been. those first months! Old Mrl. DIV. broken by illness and her own grist. could not do mach to oom- tort her young granddaughter. Katy. the Irish cook, and Haflert/y, the handyman were much more cheeriiui wmpenions. 1n time oi course, April made. her adjust- ments, grew so used to bile dill"? round oi day's at the “Hlll" that she went rather unwillingly to ‘hoarding school, hated to leave Granny's house after her death-

"You can't aiiiord to run the place." Jerome had told her. "Even ii you could hoet the old barn and employ a maid. it wouldn't be sate. The "I-Iill" is just enough out oi town to be s favorite stopping place for! Mumps. Your grand-

iiher wise oontinunlkr iihding than and as n» you. Aprll- I know your soit heart. You'd run a ho- boes‘ boarding house."

Now. as she worked, April tried to consider the situation irosn a mom horpeiul point oi view. told herself it had entirely changed. In the first place she was older- bwent/y-one-cnd quite used to taking care oi herself. Surely she could camp out here. in some fashion or other, cooking icr het- selt and with no board to pay. That sounded marvelous, but them were, od course, such con- sideration as coal bills. electricity. and lleat. At present light and wnter we're turned oil’. but no such trifling institution as the Public Service was to prevent an energetic young housekeeper irom getting supper here tonight. She could illl her bottle at the pump in the yerd and. she had brought iood enough to keep herself ircsn starving svsn is she hed given eowey s good pert cl it. She would miss the‘ buns leit in” Bill Brown's binds-no doubt o! that. ,

At last the sneeeer meal no ahjost ready and the cock drew a chair to the klldfin table. In the midst oi aAvmstie with s can opener the mistress oi the "Iiiil" paused. "Pu I've never thought to bring my girls ollt hero and show them my’ house. I might than them out ier s weekend nest‘
