"I'll bet Uioso confounded servants ore gossiping down In the basement, ltlng 'em again, and ring 'em like thunder." Central obeyed his orders energetical ly, but without results. "I can't gut any answer," she said gently to tho Irate man nt the other end of tho line, "but I'll try them again In a few minutes, and If I get an an swer 111 call you up. No, I won't for get," she said, almost before the man had uttered Ids warning. "I know you call the house every morning from your olllcc." "Thank you," Bald Uie nmn, much niollllled. "Those servants nro so care less, nnd my niece, who looks after tho children, la coiillncd to her room by Illness." Clrclevlllu'a telephone system was not very complicated. Tho three girls who presided In tho central olllco were not kept occupied ns In a larger city been u ho this was n now Institution In tho pretty Inland city and subscribers were not coming hi fast enough to sat isfy the telephone company. Only one of tho girls hailed from rirelevllli. Tho other two were from Chicago, and central rang off ho murmured to hlm it was Margaret Haxter, one of tho 1 clt ' "Tbero's a girl who will make n Chicago girls, who had answered Mr. '- business womnn somo day.

A rather thick voice with a distinct broguo answered this call with u sul len "Hello." Margnret's fuco turned gravo und Arm lines showed about her mouth. "Why has no ouo answered the tele phone?" sho said rnUicr sternly. "I huvo been ringing you on and off for fifteen minuter." "Ruro I've somcthln' to do beside mnnlu' up them stairs to answer this bell. It's a wonder a womun can't cat her breakfast In peace." Margaret connected 231 J with 710 M, sighing softly to herself, "Poor Charley and his babies at tho mercy of that woman." Tho conversation nt tho wiro claim ed her attention. There were reasons why she felt sho had a right to listen. "Hello, Mary. Is Oils you?" "Yes, sir." "How Is Master Iteglnald?" "Fine, sir." "What did ho eat for his breakfast?" "A peach, a bowl of rlco and milk and flvo cakes." "Now, Mary, I've told you repeated ly not to lot lilni havo hot cakes." "Then, sir, you'll havo to stay at home and keep him from It. It's n cook I nm and no nurse." "Well, well," said tho man anxious ly, as ono who runllzed he was in n predlcnmcnt nnd needed tho good will of every ono. "I'm sure while Miss Mien Is sick you will look after tho children, and I will not forget It when I pny you llUXt Week." THIS nit of tllplomncy elicited no ...... .11.11. reply from tho other end of tho wire. "Has Miss Hcsslo gono to school?" "She has not. Sure tho string's off her hood nnd ono of her rubbers Is lost eutlrcJy, und I told her she'd best stay homo till her Aunt Kllen could get about." "Dear, dear," said tho man, nud a prodigious sigh seemed to choke his utterance. "In that nil, sir?" said tho woman impatiently. "I guess so," ho replied reluctantly and hung up his receiver. At her end of tho wlro tho woman slnmincd up the receiver with n crush which mndo central flush Just a hit angrily Clump, clump, clump, sho went down the bnsument stairway to meet a look of Inquiry on tho face of l.ri iiuauuj.u, Hdlliuitui "MM lllllli Ul nil work for Henry Dickson, president of tho Kxcclslor Hardware company. "Sure, It's tho sainu old thing," she snld snappishly as she tossed tho soap . Into tho dish pnn. "Frettln' his soul out about those two children. It's no ! placo for mo nnd you, Tim.

It was nddn'flHeil to t'hnrlei Dlckmm mid wound up iw follow h; "While you'ro In Chicago I wIhIi you would stop In to nee your aunt Mary (Jravert. Things nrc not going right at the houtte, I fear. Kllen Is too frlvoloiw and fond of society to do what Is en tirely right by us nnd the children. Your aunt Mary Is n cnpablo woman and would pull things together In less than no time." Hut even with the letter started on Us way Mr. Dickson felt uneasy. Aunt ' Mary was capable, but was sue sym pathetic enough to deal with those ! children? He recalled tho gentle ways and the fair face of the dead daughter-in-law. He wished somehow Aunt Mary would wave her hair about her fnco nnd smile once hi awhile. Hut she was better than tho more uncertain element he had dreaded -n stepmother for his beloved grandchildren. And all the time Margaret Haxter sat In front of the switchboard, plugging the Jacks and thinking. Just before he closed up his desk to go homo Mr. IMckson was surprised to catch her voice with a new, almost friendly nc cent. "Ih this Mr. Dickson?" "Yes." ".Shall I call Mary and toll her to have tho children come down to meet you?" Mr. Dickson lived some distance be yond the street car terminus, and Tim always drove down In the runabout to meet him. It never struck him us odd that tho telephono girl knuw of his dally habit. Perhaps she lived In tho neighborhood. I.Io nnswered in a re lieved tono: "Yes; I'd forgotten to call her." "And If you didn't coll her she wouldn't remember, would she?" "No, no," agreed the man; "these i servants nro n great trial." Then as pieuseu ins inncy uiui some one appro elated bin nbsorblng Interest In the children. That was why ho had a bouquet of flowers sent up to the telephone ex change one day and n box of candy an other. Sovornl times he was tempted to call In person, but he llnally decided that seeing tho girl face to fnco might prove a disillusion. Faces and voices do not always harmonize, nnd yet ho thought of tho great relief It was to re ceive messages from central Instead of lrato Mary or butterfly Kllen. He felt sure that this particular voice stood for n face fair and womanly. Then he would recall n recent letter from his son, Aunt Mary would come forn con sideration. Hut finally an Inspiration enmc to him. Ilcgglo was having n' birthday. Kllen, wIUi characteristic heedlessness, hnd forgotten this Important event and bad arranged to Join a houso party for the very night. Hut tills should not stand In tho way of a proper observ unco of the occasion. Kcgglo should have a birthday spree, und the guest of honor should bo this central girl, with whom tho two children had held many Uttlo talks across the wire. She ucccpted tho Invitation seut In llegglo's untne. Sho rode out In tho runabout driven by tho suspicious Tim, who had mndo uuplensaut remarks to his wife about old fools and pretty girls. And sho flnnlly entered tho door opened by Mr. Dickson himself. Do gavo n sigh of rullef, which was . ,rowlUH, in tli tnmiiltnnnn Pmntn.. . .. h11i1rnn Rm vnn 1nt whnt tw. " - " -- --w ....

They had n merry evening, and when tho two children were Bitting dowu, ouo on either side of her, to henr what Ilegglo described as corking goblin stories, tho sound of a latchkey fell upon Mr. Dickson's cur. Ho roso uncertainly; so did Mnrgarot Baxter, and so did tho two children. And that waB tho scone upon which en tered Chnrles Dickson, general repro sentntlvo for tho Excelsior Hardware company, Just returned from n hard trip on tho road.

When ho had escaped from their embraces his futher started to make thu nocessary Introduction, but the younger man wnved him nslde. "I have known Margaret for somo time In fact, long before you knuw her. When tho children Imve finished their frolic and gono to bed I well, wo will explain this mutter to you."
