See Your.Home ilrinter First CHAPTER VH + SYNOPSIS After' Mark Alexander's ;beauti- ful wife Ellen died, her whole family became interested in Val- erie, Endres daughter by a for- mer marriage.. All save Shirley seem+er to have their eyes on the trust fund left Valerie by Ellen. Dorothy, Elsie and their husbands•, want Valerie to live with thein,' but, Mark will havenone of it. Mark and Valerie go on a two - months' automobile •trip and as they near home, they meet Lucy Tredway, owner of a brokendlawn travelling library, Mark asks Lucy to • tutor Valerie, and she accepts. "I'll be right along," she promised. "It won't take me a ,minute." "Could ' you—if you wouldn't mind —w ear the primrose taffeta? Maybe it isn't nice enough, now you have your own things'—" suggested Val- erie. "It's much nicer than anything of mine," Lucy told her truthfully. "You see, I didn't need much in the Ark. Mostly just breeches • and boots. I love your dress, and I'll adore wearing it." "You're ---terribly sweet—" Valerie breathed to her through the crack in the door. Lucy dashed under a shower, ran a comb through her hair, fell into a brief silk undergarment or two, and slipped Valerie's dress over her head. She put on a bit of make-up before her dressing -table mirror, and went out, She found Valerie waiting pat- iently in the hall outside, and they ran down the stairs together. Mark was reading in the library. He jumped upas they came 'in, and his face lighted. • Lucy- was taking stock, too. It took a big man. She thought, to create mag- nificence, and then live so simply in the midst of it. It had come to him through three generations, and the novelty had been gone a long time. * * * Lucy always • remembered ` that first dinner at Wide Acres: the in- formal' formality with which it moved: the perfection of its service. As they chatted over their coffee in the library afterward, she began to wonder almost fearfully if she 'had stumbled on assort of domestic fourth dimension. where discord was taboo. She was laughing Qver Some non- sense of Mark's when. the curtains parted and Elsie came in . She moved in her fluttering skirts with ctirious swinging motion. Lucy thought at once of something float- ing in on the tide. "Darling!" cried Elsie. But her' look 'was for Mark. Her .voice was rich with emotion. "I ` just ran in on the (•Lance . you'd come back. If you kr:tew how I've missed you!" • Lucy stretched back in a:corner of her big chair, and 'watched. It was nirnost like seeing a curtain go •up. Mork rl d Valerie had both got to their 'feet. Elsie. caught Mark by. both hands, ;mg moo EX1 OSfl O .t , Seaford' Ontario v., while she made the new adjustment to Lucy's arrival. ' Chiltren came in, and poured cof- fee for her, and went away. "There's a clever one," hem told Mrs, Panwoed later, "Too clever, if you ask me. Had a bit of a shock, and put on the brakes before anybody could tell the - difference. 1 was watching her eyes. Doesn't relish an- other woman coming in and upset- ting her plans. Not.. that. she'll get much change out of Miss Lucy. " "I don't relish it myself,;' said Mrs. Banwoo.d. "Perhaps you'd rather have Mrs. Waterford under foot," suggested Chiltern. Mrs. Banwood ignored this. She sat down to her own coffee, and looked at him over the brim her cup. • "I'm, sure it's nothing, to me who he brings into the' house to teach Miss Valerie," she offered. Chiltern passed his cup a second time. "No more it should be, with situations what they are at present," Le reminded, her. He never found it very hard to keep Mrs. Banwood ''in ber• place. * * * Elsie was almost ready to leave before she apparently realized Lucy. She turned the velvet,,of her eyes on the girl, and spoke with gentle en- thusiasm. "My .dear -- we've all forgotten your---" she said. "But d'm •sure you'll understand. • We three had so much time to make up—" ' "I haven't forgotten, .Lucy," "said Valerie suddenly. It was the first time she .had spoken since `Elsie <.•ame in. She got up now and tucked her, slim young body into the vacant en;ace in Lucy's big, chair._ "Oh, but darling—" criel Elsie ma- ternally, "aren't you crowding Miss Treadle terribly?" Lucy smiled with' equal amiability on Elsie and Valerie., !She isn't crowding me at all, -thanks. The name is Tredway," she said. "I'm 'so wretched at names,", said Elsie plaintively. "I shall probably call you all sorts of queer things. It may take me months to get you straight. I expect you'll be tired of us long before that, and have flown away." Valerie clasped Lucy's hand in sudden panic. "Lucy's going to stay forever!" she cried. - "Oh," said Elsie.., e Mark looked across at- Lucy, sit- ting with Valerie beside her. There was a suggestion of tenseness in the way they both looked back at him. As if in some mysterious way they sought him for protection. He felt, a sudden rush of tenderness for them, sitting so young and so defenseless under his -onf. "Our contract with Miss ""'Predway came through • old • fri girds of her L'ather's," he 'explained. "Judge Brown of Allington, and others—" Ide',sug- g'ested someliow that she could take the information or leave it. Elsie et once became all hemierine. "Oh, but how • marvellous! - I mean Valerie clasped Lucy's hand in panic. ..qtr and then released one to throw a lavish arm around Valerie. There was something almost domestic in the posing of the three, if you didn't look too closely at their faces. . TSie light that smoldered behind Elsie's large, rather full brown eyes was anything but peaceful. And Valerie and Mark reminded' Lucy curiously of wild things held against their wills. Elsie turned suddenly, and caught her first glimpse of Lucy. She stared and froze.' Her hand dropped from, Valerie, but her hold on Mark tight- ened. "Oh—" elle said. "Oh—" echoed Mark easily. "You haven't Met Mies Tredway, have ua? She's heaven's .gift to the un- learned. Valerie's new tutor, in oth- er words. Between whiles, she's go- ing to.keep us all in order. Isn't rt luck?" "It's quite charming," said Elsie. "How do you do?" She sat down suddenly. She ignored Ludy completely after that.. .She chattered endlessly about her own affairs and asked questions about the trip when she remembered, seldoint .waiting for an answer. Al- most as if oho, were afraid to pause, "Selfiish me," she said reproach= fully, "when you're all probably tired out. Mark>•, darling, will you r ing • for • Chiltern and ask about cry car? I told Harmon nit to be Pater than' eleven, and here it is almost twelve! How- deep one get decent servant&? But what 'eau you expect? Nobody pays the leant attention to a woman alone. Nobody cares—" She looked appealingly et Mark, as if she expected _him to contradict her; but he only rang and gave her message to Chiltern. After a minute he followed the butler into the hall. He would order his own car, . He stepped out onto the terrace, breathing deeply. At this time of the year; the place was like a huge bouquet. "Any sign of Mrs. Waterford's chauffeur?" he asked/Chiltern at his el bow. "No, sir. Nor much chance of it, .f I may say so. Mrs. Waterford told Harmon not to come back, sir I happened to overhear her. 'It probab- ly slipped her mind." "Probably," said 'Mark. They looked at each other for a brief second. There was a curious ihusion of a smile on both their faces, although neither had moved a muscle. "Thanks," said .Mark. "Just ask Catlet to take out the town car and run Nis. Waterford home, will you?:' "'Phe car is' out by the parking cir- cle now, sir," said Chiltern. "I have. already taken.the liberty of speaking to Galley - This time Mark really smiled. He wanted 'to laugh, 'but compromised cn the smile. Chiltern sometimes gave him the impression of exercis- ing a father's guidance, in a per- fectly butlerish way. He thought now that he caught a faint answering flicker on Chiltern's lips. But it was gone before he could be sure. "Thanks," he said again., "Sorry—no sign of Harmon, Elsie," he said. standing just inside the lib- rary door. "Catlet will run you home. Chiltern has just 'ordered the car. It was ' nice of you. to look us up so soon." She glanced at him quickly,"start- ed to speak, thought better of it, and laid a strikingly manicured hand on his arm. "Thanks, darling," she said. "You think of everything.", * * * Elsie called Valerie late in the afternoon,, asking her' to lunch the next day. She said nothing abolrt Lucy. Valerie happened to be in her own room when the call came.. She had. a curious illusion walls closing in as she tried to think fran- tically ofsome reason why she couldn't go. Again it'wasMark who, saved the day. , -I couldn't promise without ,asking my father:" She was. almost faint wit,.•relief. ' Elsie became* reproachful. Valerie could practically see the drooping red liens of her lips. "Darling, how ridiculous—With me?" she asked. Somehow- Valerie 'found the courage to shy- she was afraid so. Elsie said she mustask hiin that very night, and telephone her at once. Valerie promised. She put the • telephone clown, and sat staring at it. LuCy came in and found her a few minutes later. ' "I wondered if you'd like a couple of sets of tennis, or a swim -in that adorable pool?" she suggested. "I'm not going ta make a hookworm of you. you know." ' Yes — of coursq—" said Valerie obediently. "In other, words, yes and no!" laughed Lucy. "What's happened to you, kitten?',' Valerie salt .and looked at Lucy and said nothing; mot knowing what to say. There was nothing uncom- fortable about it, as there often was when you were supposed to talk and didn't, 'Lucy just sat and looked out of the windoay. And then, suddenly, Valerie spoke almost before she kne'w it. "It 'was the telephone—;Mrs. Waterford. You know—Elsie. Do you sometimes find, things quite puzzling?" Lucy brought her thoughts :back from the broad lawn beyond the windows. "Often'," she said. "But puzzles aren't so bad. You can make a kind of game of them, if you just take them as they come. It's really not so much the puzzle as what you do with it." "Oh—I see," said Valerie. It vas- a new angle, and suggested possibili- ties. Lucy watched her, and wondered if she would say anything more.

Possibly they decide that, •n!' these, acertain contractor is the .one most suitable for the job. N,laybe they only call in one contractor. May; be they consult his competitors, coin pare prices).equipment, other qualifi- cations and then, probably without spending -much time salving the injur-. ed feelings --of the unsuccessful, a- ward the job to the mars of their choice and urge him'to get busy. But da not infer for a moment that, be- cause an emergency exists, Supply has gone overboard on a shoot -the - works -and -the -hell -with -expense policy in full spate. No doubt they have given out the job on what has come to be known as a Target Price, which is just what the name implies, a mark to shoot at. Normally .such a job should be produced for so -much, allowing for the producer's legal mar- gin of profit, which is 10 per cent. Can he beat that cost as he goes along? If he can the Government may reward him by letting him keep a portion of the savings... If emerg- ency forces him over the figure which appears to be normal at the time the order is given, he may find that in- stead .of making ten per cent he only comes out with eight. The idea is give-and-take1and-adjust-later- but - get - the -job -done. No doubt it works hard - 'ship on the individual here and there. But. on the whole, it would appear to have the defence of the taxpayer as its motive. There are occasions, too, in which the Services themselves step in. and tell -Supply what they want and from whom they want it,, regardless. Is anyone to say, without evidence, that the Service officers are specious fel- lows whir devote their time to toss- ing plums to their friends? Or i.. it more reasonable to assume, far ex- ample. that they ask for, or demand, a certain type of training a.ircra,it from a named factory, because they know this to be the desirable type of plane for the work to be done in it and the manufacturer to be the best to have a real background. It looks like wonderful luck for you all. I sup- pose you've done a lot of teaching, Miss Tredway?" She clapped her hands delightedly. "Oh, show clever of me! I really got it that time—or did I?" "You did," said Mark. He didn't wait for Lucy to answer. As well to establish, ber once and for all. Tell- ing to Elsie would be telling it to the world. Their world at least.'"You see, Miss Tredway only graduated from college herself last spring, so her teaching experience hasn't been exactly vast. But she's won medals and taken degrees and done all the highbrow stunts you'd expect from a spinster of .forty, instead of --what you see." Ile sounded as if he could- n't put into word's what he thought of Lucy: Of her brains•or beauty or charm. "But how terrifying!" cried Elsie, pathetically. "What will she think of the rest of us when, she finds. us out? But maybe she never will."
