introduced Miss Holbrook the look Of dis
may and astonishnent on his face was
comical to look at.
She was dot of creature, scarcely
larger than Lillian, with big childish blue
eyes and curling light hair. fastened in a
knot at the back of her head, a real peach
blossom complexion, small white hands.
with several pretty rings on them but in
spite of her small stature and childish ap-
pearance, there was look of determine
tion in the face, and the chin, in spite of
Its dimples, showed that the little lady had
a will of her own.

pretty and nice"
Jack after few days conldcd to me
that Miss Iiolbrook was a tir,t-rate one"
and that ''he wouldn't give her any trou-
bIe If it killed him"
This was something surprising from
Jack. who, am sorry to say, was always
