gently but firmly putting his arms
around her, kept her near him; she

come; but Hans would like me to be
very tidy and neat to meet the gentle
man"

madness, she rushed up to Stanley, and

and fondly into his face, her own light

hopes; and now, with her wild eyes, her
white face, her awful, terrified, sense
less expression, she was pleading for
the treasure which could never, never
be given her again in this world Stan
