"What man, what a man!" mocked Carol. But her eyes were soft.

Peter was sitting, by Ann's bed, his eyes never leaving her for very long. The last three weeks had been hard on Peter. Everyone talked about how splendidly. Ann had got along. But it had been a period of fearful suspense for Peter.

"Grandfather Kendall!" Ann said glad a little breathlessly, "I'm so you've come,"

The old man came over to the bed and stood for a moment, star ing down at Ann, taking the hand she held out to him.. Suddenly he stooped and kissed her forehead.

"Peter,"

he said, sternly, "why didn't you tell me you had a wife like this? You young idiot"

Peter saw there were tears in nls grandfather's eyes. The old man wiped them away surreptitiously with his handkerchief.

He stoopod, lifted the baby into his arms and sat down with him, the rocking back and forward, in big chair.

Poter the Third's face relaxed, his tiny fists uncurled, his blus oyes stared up at the old man. He was the picture of perfect serenity,

Yes, he's exactly like me," his great-grandfather said. "The world's fine when he's having his way."

Poter the Third was sleeping again. Peter the First had retired to the big livable room across the hall.

Peter the Second had returned, after a long, comradely talk with his grandfather, and now was sitting not far from Ann, reading. There was a look of unutterable happiness and con- tentment on his face.

Ana was lying in bed, eyes wide, too happy for sleep.
