(Copyright, 1919, by the McClure NewspaL- I per Syndicate.) 'T'ow, munmsey, don't worry We'll i get along all right. Give my love to Cousin Sue and tell her I hope she'll soon be better. And don't tire yourself out caring for her. Yes, i'll rme-e1m ber to feed the cat, and that Bob is fond of pudding, and that the iceman comes on Thursday, and-mumsey, do hurry or you'll miss your train!" With a gay wave of her hand, Mar gery S- watched her mother out of sight, and then went into the house. A whole week of housekeeping by herself! Margery actually hugged herself as she thought. Wouldn't she prepare the greatest feasts for fa ther and Bob? She'd make their mouths water! " "Let's see, what time Is it nowr" Imused Margery, slipping into a ging- I ham apron that enveloped her from 1 head to foot. "Quarter to five. Time to get supper ready. I guess I'll have I - potatoes and salmon-and-oh! Isn't it glorious to be a housekeeper !" And !Margery whirled around the room to get rid of some of her bottled-up de light. It was the second day of Radford HC---'s furlcsigh. As he disconsolately a'andered about the town he wondered gloomily what to do with the time on his liinds. Suddenly something hap pened! He was starting uIp a new street,' when out of the corner house a vision in blue and white, with flying brown curls, came dashing into his arms, so it seemed. "Oh, Tom l" breathed the vision, who Sby this time had taken the shape of a very pretty, very excited young girl, "do come in and see if you can fix our kitchen range! The old thing won't oh !-I beg your pardon!" And the girl _ backed away in great confusion and 1 Sastonishment. "I say,, what's the matter?" ex claimed Radford, regaining his breath - and finding out that he liked this rather extraordinary proceeding than otherwýse. "Oh, please excuse me." stammered Margery; "I thought you were Tom R-., one of our neighbors! He's a sailor, too, and you look exactly like him." I "I'm srtry I disappolnted you." re turned R.adford with an amused smile. "Yon seemi to he in trouble. Pardon me, but can't I fslsist. you?" "If you don't mind," dimpled Mar gery, "I would like you to see if you could fix the old thing." Ten minutes later a flushed Rndford with a smudgy face straightened up from over the stove and announced cheerily to Margery: "It's all right now; it was only clogged up. You can use it." With a relieved sigh Margery drop pro ped into a chair. "How can I ever id at thank you?" she said. "I never could iote have fixed it myself, and I should said have had to wait until father came rd a home, or Bob,. Oh, don't you want to 1wash your face?"--jumping up-"it's rather dirty," bon "I think you said when you came of in that you had no particular place to go," began Margery. "Would you-" she gasped at her own boldness, but bravely flnished-"care to stay-for oi, supper-with father, Bob and me?" | and Egg beaters, spoons, cake tins, sift copy era and such were very much in evil- - eloc- dence during the next half-hour, while WT own a very pink-cheeked Margery and Rad ' h ford. with an apron on, too, hurried bthe ack and forth, both chatting merrily as they worked.
