"Tll give You the story as she told it to me- con-
tnued Sophie. /" Last night, after we had left, her
father inquired if you and she had met before that

such question. Because, said he, of the tamll-

IL don't know about that, Jack said Sophie
she is very fond of picking ilOwers But, rs you
say, her calling shows very great liking for Ms,
for in a measure she has dehcd her papa by doing
so and then her coming at once proves her anxiety
to Immediately prevent any chance OF orr misIudg-

together that, had couple OF days passed without
our seeing her, we should have wondered
