Jack bowed to Addie, and after u

Mrs. Pomroy De Smythe was ac-
quainted with Jacks mother Mrs. De
Smythe was Vane, one of the May
flower Vanes, and gave no quarter to
plebeian blood.
There is an awful mixture of peo-

"Your dear mother couldn't

Addie gazed into his eyes, andpoor

1t was after the biggest mornings
work ofhis life, in the way ofelimbing,
that Jack Wellden found himself once
more in the region of the woods.
The road was scarcely worthy of the
name. 1t was more sheep track
through tree shaded line, the grass
resembling green velvet.
