When Eleanor went into her own room. even the simple pro- cesses of changing her clothes re- minded her of how well she was accomplishing the task she had set out to do. it was good to feel herself in luxurious clothes again, a drees of crisp brown taffeta with a hat to match. boots and gloves of champagne-colored kid that looked as if they had never been worn before. It was good to drive into town in a smart little car, to be successful and to know she looked it.

The two looked prosperous. The shops were full of customers and the streets full of cars. In the park girls strolled under parascls that matched their dresses, gay and fluttery in the sunshine. Every- body seemed to be in good spirits. The soft rustle of the palms in the park seemed to whisper. "Thirty-cent cottonl" Thirty-two cents. Eleanor corrected her mus- ings BIS she drew up in front of the drug store and honked for the services of the soda-jerker. thirty- two cents and still rising, while everybody, from herself to the drugglst rejoicing in the increas- ed abillty to buy merchandise, was profiting by it.

When the soda jerkcr appeared she told him to bring her a box of face powder and a glass of 1e- mona/de. As she put her lips tn the straw Eleanor noticed Isabel Valcour with a blue linen parasol on her shoulder, wandering along the sidewalk. Eleanor had not seen her for a long time.

Two dirty little urchins wander- ed along the pavement from tho other direction. They caught sight of Eleanor sipping lemonade. With quick shrewdness their eyes took in Eleanor ‘herself, her sparkling car and the parcels piled on the seat. Looking elaborately away from her the taller of the two thrust his hands into his pants pockets and began to sing as he strolled ahead:

"She's the army contractor's only

daughter.

Spending it now.

Spending it now ..”

Isabel glanced up, started. and burst out laughing. She turned around instantly, lowering her parasol to cover her mirth, but. her shoulders were quivering as the singer, sensing a kindred spirit, sidled up to her with a practiced, "Lady gimmya nickel to go t'a show?"

“Surely, I'll give you a nickel to go to a show," said Isabel. Eleanor could hear the suppressed amuse- ment in her voice. Opening her bag Isabel bestowed nldrels on both of them. As they scampered off down the street l-sabel disap- peared into the drug store. Eleanor

When this got around l0 North, the latter felt, with reason, that his own opening bid had beEn too light. for him now to lake further _ action. . Smith should have deferred the out bid until he had more in- 'formation about the fit ot the “North and South hands. A mere two-spade overcall of two clubs ‘was all that was necessary on the first round. Then. whether or not West put in his shutout raise, South could later try his cue bid. ‘Even if he had to bid six clubs over West's raise to five clubs. that course would be reasonable if by so doing South was making an obvious demand on North for a choice between a spade and a diamond slam. .

She was ashamed of her irrita- tion. But as she drove toward the plantation she was calling Isabel names. and it was not until she was out. of town and driving once more along the oak-lined riv- _er road, her fields stretching on either side of her, that she could calm her temper.

Wyatt was waiting for her. Eleanor was surprised to see him. for he rarely came to the house. He greeted her more grimly than usual. "Mrs. Lorne, I don't want to scare you or anything. but you'd better start getting pickers together early. some of the hands are getting sick."

"Sick? What's the matter?"

He examined his dusty shoe. "Well ma‘am. I don't rightly lcnow what it i-s. They're calling it the Spanish influenza."

“Spanish influenza? I never heard of that. Thanks for telling me. I'll have the doctor come over. But I don't think you need to worry, for we won't be picking for a. good while yet."

“Ndm. but there seems to be a lot of it around. I thought you'd better know."

She thanked him again, and Wyatt took his lugubrious de- parture. Eleanor went to the tele- phone anti rang Bob Purcell. "Could you drop around sometime tomorrow, Bob?"

"Surely. What's the matter with you now?"

“Nolhihl. but some of my darkiee are getting a new form of the misery."

In the morning Bob visited the "qllﬂrtérl. and then came to her in the house. He was wearing a mask comic‘ of several squares of gauze tied over his mouth and chin. His eyes looked grave. He told her to wear a mask too. since she was with the Negroes so much. and to keep the children inside the boundary of the lawns. No- body knew whether or not this all- ment was dangerous. but there was no good in taking chances. During the next few weeks Eleanor had Bob Purcell come to Ardelth frequently. He could not get there ms often as she wanted him. for he was working from day- break till dark. His face was thin with fatigue. "What started this thing?" she remanded of him one

morning.

"I don't know," said Bob. "Have you heard what some people are saying, that it was German spies in this country?" He shrugged. “That might be credible if it hadn't appeared al- most at the same time in China and Sweden and the Fiji islands- and Germany too."

"What _can we do to keep well?" Bob took along tired breath. "Eleanor, l don't know what it is nor how to prevent it nor how to cure ft. Nobody knows. If you get it go to bed and stay there till you get well."
