began to think tho child had taken offense,
and that he would have TO seek her in her
own home, when her opportune appearance
prevented tho journey. He was taking his
breakfast one morning inside the caravan.
when he suddenly became conscious TINT Matt
was standing outside watching him.

"Come in and have some breakfast, Matt.n
He rose negligently, went to the door and |
held forth his hand; Matt took It, gave one
spring and landed inside the vehicle.
'Tim, another knife and fork for the young |
lady-some moro eggs and milk; in fact, any |
thing you've got' said Brinkley, as Replaced |
a seat for Matt at the little table.
Tim gave grunt of dissatisfaction. This |
'tbold colleen,n as he called her, was becom- |

his masters commands. Matt sat down and
