But no one cheered Warren, and Warren needed cheering, for he was getting more and more sorry for Lydia. arriving to find things like this. He felt guilty. None of them had been fair with Lydia; certainly he hadn't. He should have told her - told her a lot . and the fact was he hald told her iaractit-nl- ly nothing. How much did Lydia know? He didn't even kow how much she knew.

He had an idea Aunt Jenifer knew more than he did about what made things strange iri their house. There were moments- looks - which he suspected she understood. 'I'hat, had been the bad part of it, - feel- ing something there and not know- ing what it was, not knowing what he lived with.

Aunt Jenifer had seemed to take a. great fancy in Lydia. Vihezl she went to town she would buy things for her. and her voice was more gentle when she spoke to Lydia - gentle or else very cheer- ful. Ha had seen her watching his sister, as if turning something over in her mind.

One night Father and Aunt Jenifer sat downstairs after the others lud gone to bed - Warren found them there when he came home from seeing his girl. Let's see, who was his girl them? Hang- ing up his coat he heard Father say, as if he hated talking about it, "It's good of you. Aunt Jeni- fer." and she said, "I'll be glad to have Lydia. 1t will be better, I think."

Next day Flather told Lydia she was to go home with Aunt Jenifer and go to school in Cincinnati, a great big place, when she would meet lots of nice girls and learn things.

Warren was 1n the room when his father said this to Lydia, but soon he went out, for Lydia. just sat there, saying nothing, her thin dark face not telling what she felt. After o. while abs came out and stood near him as he milked. "You like Aunt. Jenifer, don't, you. Lydia?" he asked.

"Yes," she said. "I like Aunt Jenifer." And that. was all she said, but when he got up he saw her looking around the place - as if she were already saying good-by. He drove them in when they were leaving. Father went, too. but. Mother said good-by at homo. She came out to the buggy as they were getting in. she kissed Ldyis, but then she drew away; she didn't hold her, as you'd think a mother would when her young daughter - not sixteen - W35 going away.

The next Juno Warren sold. "Lydia school will be out. soon. She'll be coming buck." "No," his father said, "your Aunt Jenifer wants to take her to the Lakes."

“But, Father, Lydia wrote me about wanting to come home. $he‘s looking forward to it."

"This is better," his tether sold firmly.

“But, ttfothcr," he had presLsted - his mother sat nearby serving. "Lydia wants -"

Then he stopped; he Just could- n‘t go on - stopped by that look about his mother's eyes. Desperate- ly troubled _ asking for help. When Lydia was about. twenty’- three Aunt Jenifer wrote: "I want to see Europe before I'm too old. and even now Tm too old to go alone, so I want t,o take Lydia with me."

"That would be fLns for Lydia. Father said.

After two years over there, Aunll Jenifer died. She had left Lydia. enough to live on, and Father saill that was fine. "But she's alone over there," Warren said, "Llctls cable her to come homo.”

His father got him outside and told hLm, "Once and for all, War- ren, I want you to stop this talk about Lydia- coming home." "Why?" "Because well." “Then Lydia ought to be here‘ “Be still!" his lather cried, mori- angry than Warren had ei er F901! him anKFy, but. helpless; and Warren, feeling helpless too. said no more.

Lydia. never wrote about. coming home, and after a time she WTOU‘ that, she was married.

“That's fine." Father said, and added in a pious way Warren did- n't care for. "I hope he is n. good mm}.

Soon after this he had lo solid some papers for Lydia to sign. There was a piece of laud which years before Father had put in his name and Lydia/s it yrs-sh‘!- land rather WOfkOd. and now there was 9, good chance to sell. But. when he sent. the deed in this foreign name, she returned it, sa,\'~ lng; "Warren. I'm afraid ii. would n"t, be legal, for the marriagr wasn't legal. it couldn't be - nn account of the divorce. My 108st name is Chlppman. Anyway. that, marriage . or whatever you would call it. - is now dissolved. Dissolved

. do you say? Well - 'ovcr." i!" didn't tell his mother and father. guarding this secret of Lydias.

H! wrote of their mother's iioath and she cabled back: "Shall l come home and keep house for Father? Would like to."

5o he took this up with hlr~ father. "There's no reason whv Lydlu shouldn't come home nou- ls there?" he asked,

His father sagged these dayxs. as if what kept. him alive had about. gone out of him. But he instantly straightened. "There ill-as no TCRSOII before. was there?" His fathci- seemed to be resisting something Warren suspected he more than half wanted Lydia to come home. He had loved her. His actions did- n't. say so. yet. hr had. Warren felt sure of that. Then what, uls: this? A loyalty stronger than any other feeling? As if it would be betrayal for Lydia to come not‘: that her mother was none, as if it would be saying it, was Mother who had kept her lWl}? some-

thing like that it must have been, for so vehemently his lather slid, "No!" adding, H5 if to mgkp 1r.

I suppose that’: whgt, it 11 Anyway it would be no phcu for _vou to live." That was the last. about coming home. An then when it. halppgngd . (even yet he would think out it, that way .
