The idea Of calling Jack Gurlcy Cupid,
IL always annoyed him; it. made him SO
helpless with fury--a big bluff fellow TO be
called Psychc's Cupid, especially when he
was about sixteen, and all lSnucKles and feet.

ride The great monster how he has add
ed to himself. Come here, Thomas Holmes,
junior, and see your aunt"

him. Miss FawcetL was exceedingly slight,

/ cd cheek and chin spoke in unison with
them, Phoebe White thought her the most
beautiful woman in the world, as she her
self passed inside the door to be introduced.
Miss Fawcett stirred in response TO the in

"You iorget how early Cupid began his
siege of YOU" said Mrs. Holmes.
"Sicgc' don't call 1t IL siege when our
