A harassed looking person, whose name was Jane Emerson and whose duties were secretarial, rapped snit- ly on the door of the most imposing suite in the Graycastlo dormitories.

"Come!" uuded a voice from within. s invitation cams from Madame Leshkl. the school's dean. who was anxiously awaiting her.

When Miss Emerson had entered she dropped wearily into a chair and kicked ofl her slippers. "Well," she said with an unhappy sigh, “I've done it. I followed them to the birch grove, and I crouched there in the dark for an hour, lis- teningto them." She seemed in- finitely depressed-

Madame Leshki, a tall, thin.

commanding woman with white hair, nodded approvlngly. “Your feet are wet." she replied soothing- ly. "Come nearer the hearth. I had the fire built especially for you." She made her visitor comfortable with the typical wiles of a. Euro- pean woman who has an ax to grind. "I have hot water ready for tea. And some very nice sand- wiches and caviar," she added im- pressively. “Don't think you can cheer me up by feeding me," Miss Emerson sniffed gloomlly. The severe gray dinner gown that she wore ac- cented the grayness of her steady eyes. She was the sort of person who persists in looking tailored, even in chiffon, Tonight, as usual, her hair lay in sculptured neatness above her fretted brow. “If you think you can spy on a bunch of girls-even young fools like those —and still keep your self respect, you're grimly mistaken, my friend and employer!"

“It's for the good of the student body that you did this, dear Jane," Madame said reasonably. "You're over-wrought and tired. Here! Drink this hot tea and try to re- lax. ‘rwo lumps and cream? The little almond-paste wafers were

sent up by the new chef. You must try them." Madame I.eshki was the person

who had molded Graycastle Col- lege into its present shape. Be- fore the worried trustees had turned it over to her, it had been merely a. girls’ school with a good reputation, some picturesque old buildings overlooking the Hudson, and a. deficit in the treasury, Then came this sharp-thinking, regal widow of an imperial Russian gen- eral to take charge, and the deficit had become an amazing annual profit. Madame Leshkls changes had been to the point-

"America has enough fashionable preparatory schools,” she pointed out, "and enough blue-stocking col- leges. What America does not have is a women's college like an ex- clusive country club. Let us dou- ble our charges, do away with scholastic entrance requirements, offer a. two-year course, and spe- cialize in the languages, the arts and athletics. I predict that in time a diploma from Graycastle will be more eagerly sought than a presentation at Saint James'l"

She was right. The new genera- tion of young buds wanted to be educated in a place where one dressed for dinner of an evening and could specialize in fencing, in preference to math. Yet Madame had her standards and she fought to uphold them. One of her con- victions was that secret societies were both dangerous and detrimen- tal. Here was an especially un- healthy one which she had not been able to weed out.

"These are the girls who were there," said Miss Emerson, and she named them. "I saw each face by flashligh ."

"Our school's beauties, as it hap- pens," remarked Madame.

"It doesn't just happen." Miss Emerson told her. “They are bid to the charmed circle of the "Ter- rible Ten‘ because they are good- looklng, popular and — would you believe it? - indifferent to their gradesl It's a sort of requirement among them that passing marks must satisfy."

"I knew there was evil in this thing!" Madame Leshki exclaimed agltatedly. "A secret society of the most venomous sort!" She put down her cup and began to pace

the floor. “Tell me all, Janel" I fear you're keeping something back—"

“Of course I'll tell you all," an- swered Jane Ilmerson impatiently. “I wasn't snooping around in that beastly damp woods to amuse my- self." And she talked for half an hour while Madame‘ Leshki toned. -

Down the corridor a. door opened softly, then closed. '

"It's Elaine Chalmers getting home," said Madame unhappily. "I shaift be able to prevent her tak- ing that trip to Ohio, of course. She'll be on legitimate leave when she does it." “And God knows what harm she'll do," said Jane Emerson. "It isn't as if these were boarding school girls we're dealing with. ‘They're grown youn women. They're mature enough and ruth- less enough to wreck any lives in their path if they choose. Espe- cially Blaine," she added poin ‘ . “Especially llllainel" echoed Ma- dame, and tried to recall what con- nection there was between Jane Emerson and Elaine's family. Bow did that old story go Had Jane been in love with Elaine's father in her youth? well, no mstm new . . . . _ _ .

ter as he wont. Ruth's thoughts went after him, soiling she knew not what. "His name is John." she thought simply. That name and the memory of his face and voice were all that she would ever have of him, she supposed.

.- sently she said, "I'm stronger than you think. Let me sit up and feed myself."

The old woman bumorsd hsr, prowl!!! her with two pillows. She drew a smalltable close to the bed and placed the tray on it. “Here's milk-toast," she said, “and two cod- dled 9888- And here's bot tea in the teapot. I hope you don't ob- loot to tbs candle-light, Miss Elaine. Candles are all I've had here for four or fife years now."

“1 like candles," answered Ruth. Even in her bewilderment she saw clearly that she was being mis- taken for someone else. For some one named Elaine. New.“ she ate the meal, happily and ravenously. Fate was being kind to her tonight, and when Fate ls kind one must accept with thank- ful heart and not question.

The old woman said, "I hate to worry you by telling you this, Miss Elaine, but. you must have left your bags on the train."

“I came of! without any bag- gage," replied Ruth- "I had to buy a. change o! clothes on the way. They're in those parcels I was car- rying-—." she was seized with a fit of sneezing, and the old woman left oil, clicking her tongue to look worried.

“No bags!" she exclaimed. "And you're talking cold to bootl You shouldn't have let the taxi driver put you out before I got to the door. I'd have brought you a caps and umbrella. Was the train draughty?"

“I didn't come by train," ‘answered. “I came by bus. of! just in front of the door."

"Heaven help us!" the old woman cried out. “And your 18M Fwd- fathei-‘s railroad running right through the city?‘

Ruth made no rHPlY- 511° w" fiflnklng, "so my grandfather own- ecl ‘a railroad! Weill I'm somebody ngm out of the w» drawer!" She 15y back against the pillows and surveyed her surroundl-us! with interest.

The room was 10.119 3nd 111811- oeiled and square, with four long windows curtslned in swiss and faded chintz. An old brussels car- pet covered the floor in a flowtl‘ and ribbon design of faded blue and rose. The furniture was hand- carved rosewood. Besides the im- posing bed in which she lay, there was a towering dresser, an armoire as large as a closet and a desk in the form of s secretary. Steel en- gravings and old prints hung on the walls. A great chandelier was suspended from the ceiling,

The old woman said. you're notlcin’ the ‘room, Miss Elaine. You'll remember it's the one youvstayed in that summer you were i2. The last visit you made to us. it was, because your died the summer after and then your Uncle Duncan was taken

"Yes," said Ruth. "I believe I could go to sleep now-J’

The old woman said contritely, "I'm tirin’ you out with my talkln’. I'll go now and lei. you gel; into your nightgown. The bathrooms through that door-it's special for this room. I'll leave the bell be- side you and if you want anything you can rink."

Ruth said, ‘Thank you for be- ing so kind to me. I can't tell you how good it is to be here tonight." Never were slncerer words spoken.

The old woman bent and kissed her clumsily on the forehead. “Call me ‘Penny’ like you used to," she requested.

"Of course!" replied Ruth. "Good

night, Penny."

Afterward when she lay com- fortable and warm in the great bed, pausing on the verge of sleep to plan how she would slip aws the early morning, she felt a, of regret to think she had ed a half-blind old woman an... had been mada glad by her coming.
