Meantime. George Spencer, ut home
and Mt dinner. listened to the recital OF
little Margerie's escape. The child was
ON his knee, repeating with wide-open
eyes and an eager manner, how the black
horse stood up, just like big man. and
his body went just so,' flinging her little
white hands about. %, it was awful dear
papa; you wouldn't have had any little
girl If the big horse had come down.
Il should think from your description,
dear said George, that they were visitors
of General Vandermere. There's an Eng

and ne grew so enaniored of the little
maid that there occurred between her faith
or and himself, one of the strangest scenes
perhaps that ever happened. Philip found
Lieutenant George in the little bower one
day alone. Going straight up to him, the
boy said:
'Sir. I am very fond of your little girl,
very fond indeed"
The father smiled.
NV little Maryerie is pet everywhere
he replied.
But, sir, I am fond of her, not rs people
are generally fond of her. am so fond
Of her, sir, that when she grows up, /
should like to marry her.
To marry Margerier cried the father,
Quite startled at the proposition.
