‘I have llllil willy-Frank." A LETTER AND ANOTE. Chapter 145.

The first. thing l saw ivhen I opened my eyes was Kenneflfs letter. I felt guilty that I hadn't reed it the night before, and start- ed to get it just as Aunt Susan

“You'll spoil me!" I- told her

“You don't get much spoiling nowadays. I guess it won't hurt you to pretend you are a society belle, and let me wait on you." She drew up a small stand, arrang- ed the tray, drew up the shade, and tlicn left. lite.

I would let the letter go uiiill after I lind my coffee, I thought. Then, as l ate, I went over the in- cidents of the night before—the ride, the dinner, our ilaneing, then the ride home iii the moonlight. How I hurl enjoyed myself! Ii was with still another feeling oi‘ guilt that I recalled that not once had I felt that I was am employee. or that. Frank illzlxton had in any way acted as if I were.

"Feel rested?" she asked, just putting her head in at the door. "I heard you moving about so ‘con- cluded you were up."
