Cousin Lucy had boumed at this magnanimity, and then slipped from the room like a quiet little mouse.

Ann's eyes had met her aunt's cold gaze. It was like a sudden plunge into cold water,

"Please don't worry. I've figured it all out. I'm going to sell the house. I've made up my mind."

"I won't hear to that. The house is yours. No one can teach it."

Within the past week Ann had learned that all she owned in the world was the roof over her head and A few "eld things." Soon, now she would be homeless, Ann's decision to sell the family antiques was respon sible for the resentment of her rela- tives and the ruffled surface of calm, old Greenfield to-day.

"And dear it was so little-I was happy to help. Did no one, ever, tell you, Ann, that your mother was the only woman I ever loved?"

Cousin Lucy was a famillar Ögure in Greenfeld, trudging along the treats in poor shoes, the bulky old fur coat flapping about her ankles.
