Bo Bobby began to look about for

soon found that hollow tr*es were
few and far between in that part of
the Green Forest, and those he did
find didn't have hollows big enough
for him. The same thing was true
of hollow logs. He was getting die
cour»ge«l when he came to a ledge
of rock which was the foundation of
a little bill deep in tbe Green For

In this ledge of rock llobby dta
covered a crack big enough for him
to equeese into. Just out of curio*

he discovered that after a llttje it

When I went in Matilda inet n.e
with a box of orchids
•’Mr Carleton left them ma'am
Bhall I arrange them?"
"No. I will attend to them mv

from her.
I went direitly to my room A-
I lifted the delicate blooms from
the box I thought bitterly of how
long It had been slr.ee Robert h.*d
biought me any flowers. And as I
arranged them I wondered what he
would think of my accepting them
from Harper Carleton But I mtghi

shout an hour afterward a nv*s
•eager boy came with a note from
him saying that he was railed awsv
or business and might be away it
day or two. He asked me to pack
bis bag and give It to the boy.
With a heart full of blttemes* !
put the necessary articles tn his
bag. As I laid them In one after
another I thought of the curt note
Not one word of regret at leaving
me and the children, no word of
fe rewell. Just a rote he might
have written to Matilda instead of
to me.
I wondered If the business which
was taking him away bad anythin*
to do with Phyllis
was so in hls mind that it excluded
all thought of me and the children
I tormented myself with the thought
that perhaps she waa going with
him. I had become obsessed with
the Idea that she was to prore my
nemesis—and perhaps Robert's.
The orchids had faded still I k»p*
th‘-ni in a vase on the living room
table, when the second day after
Robert sent away Harper Carleton
axain called
Here at least was one man who
appreciated me. This knowledge
was a balm to my wounded pride,
my lonely soul. He at once noticed
the faded flowers and laughingly
said that if I didn t throw them out
he would.
"The freshest flowers should al
ways be for you." he told me, and
the tone not the words drew tears
to my eyea.
"Don't* Don’t do that"’ be said,
hls voice husky with feeling.
"Its nothing." I smiled up at
him. “nothing but silliness. But 1
do so love flowers, and to be—re
membered." Then, realizing that
once more I had made an unwise
remark to this roan. I added, "the
day is so gloomy I guess It baa
given me the blues.**
"But you should not remain here
alone such a dark day. It Is enough
to give any one the blues."
*1 bad thought of going out and
called up Myrtle Caldwell, but she
was not at home, so I rave It up."
1 replied.
Harper remained with me about
an hour. He talked well and was
unusually entertaining When be

all my doll wasn’t stuffed with saw
