"Excise? What the
talking. about avow?"
"Your mother."
Bringing Mrs. Castle's name into
tihiis discussion with Jeff had• been ev-
en, more difficult ;than Audrey -Swan
anticipated. It shouldn't have been
necessary to remind Jeffrey that she
hadn't been in his home for several
years, nor that the I'ady from the big
house on ,the hill had seldom found
it co_n'venient to recognize her young
neighbor. At feast Audrey thought
so. But it wouldn't be very sporting
to teal him about It. • Instead, She`
waited • a little ' tensely for the'. out-
burst she expected her remark to
produce.
To 'cher surprise, -what she receiv-
ed was a mild: "I don't believe my
trip abroad did you Much -good, Cy-
gie.• I've- invited, ,you to. parties at
riy house before. This, is my. party
and I'm asking you to be my guest.
If you don't want. to come or think -
'you wouldn't have a good time '- .
"Oh, Jeff! 'Pl'ease . Audrey
caught his sleeve in a quick little
gesture of - contrition. `:You know
I dtdn t mean that! I'd leve to come,
of course. But don't you see?" `
"Naturally not."-
But
ot."But things ape different now. They`
can't help being. It's beastly of me,
I know, but you just dad , tell ms
that your mother . .
"Invited Odiwea' Jeff. broke in
sharply. ,.."Sure' ale did. That's dif-
ferent. Mother never Thus met her
and 'she's • known you for years. " •
- The past -hoer had been so -dean
itely •like old times that Audrey had
very nearly forgotten her res'ol've, 'to
establish a new and reserved. footing
for this compandon who 'tucked • her
arm in his as they mounted the porch
steps of the Swan .'home. It was a
familiar part of their taming home
ritual, .The same as Jeff's releasing
'her at the door ',vital a: careless, "So
long," .or "Be seeing you."
Tonight, he dropped iter arm but
waked long enougihr for a Meet re-
ininder, "Your chair will: ' be' at the you. .Just one moron+C, please."
Then the, voice 'of anot'her woman,
—graoious, .well -modulated. ".This is
Mrs.• Castle speaking:"
Audrey 'barely, •s

Jeffreys mother- was at the''Other.en4
of the wire, but 'reedvered her com-
pest re sufficiently; to respond in

ed surprise: "Oh, yes! How ar"e
heck 'are you

"He must have•'been, .a'cros's close
'to a. year,'. Anthony v'enit on. "Par -
vine will seem • email to • him; 1
wouidan't doubt."
Audrey inserted a elloe of bread
iio thle etioaseer arid, closed it with
an; utmieces'sary clash. '
po you want some work this
mernd',ng " Anthony asked. "One of
the Jud'ge's etab'Lemen, came over
fast eight •.with, the brown mare we
sold Mr. Jeffrey the last eummler
he was home, -You remember,
Eileen?"
"What's the mutter with her?"
"Not a thing in • the world -save
she hasn't belent ridden in a long Jame.
Never by a woman!, I take it."
"I get.youu. .She's going to - be 'rid-

it' without tee much fuses•." , Audrey
smiled wryly. "You dont care if
your darling Child• breaks her .-,meek
finding' out, do you? Eileen wasn't
keen for her fences, if, I remember."
"I've. no fear for you on that mare'
or any other."
'"Sure, ''dear, • I, venae only tooling.
Be glad to. I'll change and. come
down, as seen, as, I've • finishred my
toast and your paper."
Mart'h'a Swan appeared •from the
kitchen. Immaculate in a fresh ging-
ham Mouse caress', she 'can* to the
table -and sat down across, from
.Audrey. ."Gocid morning, dear," wall..
ter greeting. •
Mrs. Swan's clear brown eyes
studied the girlish 'face ,:closely be-
fore she observed': , "I didn't hear
v,ou come in last night. Did you have
$ 'g,00d ride?" '
"Fele. IIt ween"t late . . about

night before. But sizelcould wish he
tad been more aboveboard'.
Audrey 'spent an . hoer on Eileen's'
back. The ,'name went', through her
paces in a listlessly obliging fasthion.
She paid no attention whatever to
traffic • when her rider took her some
distance along a busty pike.

ed to her father vthten. she slipped

"Maybe she was keeping something

last Audrey said, to herself.
'Never fear."
Assured of Eileen's tractability,
her rider .had devoted considerable
thputght to the dinner party. The
more deeply she donsidered the mat-
ter of dress, the more important it
appeared and , she went directly
from the stables . to final: her Mettler.
Here was something that must be
talked over.

Audrey was in, her, room, getting
into her shirt and jodhpurs when
she heard the tel•epdrione in the lower
hall ring and, after an interyal, her
mother an'sw'ering. The words, "Hold
the Line' a minute, I'll call Audrey,'

It's Kids Like This One That
The Seaforth lions Club Helps:
WON'T YOU LEND
US A HAND 1
THE Seaforth Lions Club, through its crippled children's
work in this district, has aided hundreds of handicapped
children to face 'life with a smile. Countless more have
enjoyed the advantages of 'the Lions Club Pool and Park and
other Lions Club welfare activities.
But this work costs money and must depend upon the sup-
port of the generous citizens of Seaforth and district, who do not
want to see the underprivileged children in their midst go unat-
tended.
The annual Lions'' Frolic, at which funds are raised to carry
on this needy work, is being held this year on Thursday, October
31st. In connection with the Frolic, Ike Club is holding a draw;
tickets for the valuable prizes being on sale throughout the dis-
trict at 25 cents each, or a 'book of 5 for $1.00..
