The Doctor and the painter became &C

"You chatter like msgpie," said the
father, "be quiet now"
Leo had risen before the entrance OF
the family; as he turned to 60 out the
door, q female figure was standing upon
the threshold, and suddenly Leo felt two
soft hands csresslng his cheek, and two
warm lips pressing kisses on his own,

IN. three children, and the maid enters

whom the memory Of his mother is holy,
and who honors noble woman, and dat

in time, he may win the esteem and

and invited the Doctor to repeat his call
At his humble home.

Altman.
The Doctor visited the Altman family
often, at last no day passed in which he
did not find his way 20 their house, al

Toward the end of October, when the
grapes were ripe Leo invited all the
Altman family to his place to gather the

When it was dark Leo sent up rockets,

"How beautiful it is here, exclaimed
Julie, who had never before seen fire

Julie, and promised the boys some fire
