own neck, which was anything but
stumpy. II was too much occupied
with the dear old general to notice

"rhat can be easily managed. Charlie,
as you call him. would introduce him."
Rather hard on Charlie-askiug q
man to sign his own death warrant"
Major Wentworth wouldn't care if
he had to-"
"My dear. is he so far gone as that ?"
81 mean that he would regard it as
waste paper, and live contentedly ever
afterward."
You'll have to decide between the two
before long"
81 have decided-long ago"
"And which is it to be lifting her head
in sudden eagerness."
Neither" and she hurried out of the
room. saving that she must go and put on
her habit.

the Row empty, because he wasn't

The season was over, and one of its

She shrugged her shoulders in an
swer to Lady Waverleys expostulations.
Even in the marriage vow You have to
own you take man for better or
worse and with the worse alternative

on single blessedness. Let me be, my
silly old 3Iay;I might be happy rs an
old maid, but miserable with an unsat-

II wish that tiresome CAPTAIN Vivian
had kept out of the way"
Just what he has Done" An invol-
untary sigh escaped her. ask months
in England, and we have never met! I
wanted to see him to ask after the
Rowlandsons.
why didn't YOU write him note,
and tell hic. 500"
ASK him to come up from Cornwall
or down from Scotland to tell me if
Mrs Rowlandson's last baby had cut its
teeth"
AT least it would have broken the
ice"
IF there is any ice. I should be the
last woman on earth to break it. You
ought to know that be this time"
Don't freeze me. in order that I
mayn't forget it" laughing softly.
"Put on your prettiest gown tonight. "
Why" covert eagerness in her
tawny eyes.
Because Guy doesn't care to go out
