"Now YOU look more like civilized
being" commented Raymond, as he
wrapped long soft afghan about her.
Then he went away for the coffee.
"You are very goo.," she said CRATE
fully as she slipped the steaming cup.
"And you have been very naughty,
Now confess and tell me at once what
you have been doing to contract that
coldP"
Nothing at ALL"
"But YOU have, and | shall write at
once to Mrs. Curtis and tell her If she
can't take better care of you than this,
/ shall forbid you ever visiting her
again"
.sUnder such terrible threat, feel
that / must confess to playing the
Newfoundland again" the girl laugh
ingly explained.
.'Kescuing some dirty ragamuflin
from watery gave at the risk of
your own life! Very well, we will sec
what Catherine will have to say to you.
/ hope she will scold you severely"
Raymond said, himself frowhing as
severely on the girl as he could, whom
he thought to be the sweetest sister in
the world.
Catherine will say was right-as
/ always am," retorted Jessica, au
daciously.
"You are conceited little puss!
Come, there is our train for home,"
and then they hurried out and scram-
bled on their train. Catherine did not
scold Jessica for rescuing the unfortu-

the particulars-after she had put Jes-

II would not let Stella write you of
my brave deed as she called it, and

at the appointed time in spite of her
remonstrance," related the damsel.
Catherine regarded her gravely.
"SOme of these days you will sacri-

Don't predict such a gloomy end
for me-" Jessica laughed. Now,
think if you will 90 away, can go to
sleep and in the morning l shall be

serious over Tom Langtree's offer OF
marriage, and / hope that she will act
like a sensible girl and take him."
"Whyp Are you tired of your owr
sisterp" asked Raymond, half savage
ly, but still going on with his shaving
Catherine sat by the CHEEKY fire
warming her pink palms. AT Ray
mond's question she turned her blue
eyes upon him wonderinglv. "Why
Raymond. how absurd you are some
times. declare, you have change(
lately and are not at all your agree
able SELF" she laughed.
Raymond smothered a sigh.
"To tell the truth, Catherine, L an
not well. l had thought to take yol
all little trip-anywhere you wished
to go-but l suppose Jessica's mar
riage will frustrate my plans"
"Jessica's marriage! You ridiculou
man! Who has said anything abou
Jessica marryingP" almost screamed
Catherine.
