Mamie Burton, rushing wildly up to a
crowd of.three girls, guess what!"
"What is it, oh, what is ir?" from
the three girls in chorus.
"Why, the master OF the Grange has
returned" she cried, looking at them
triumphantly,;. and feeling that she
had impaired news equal to a bomb
shell. 1.And I've seen him, still more
triumphantly.

elias he got mustache?" asked
the third, pretty Susie Camp, casting
a look OF scorn upon her companions
Tor asking such extremely senseless
questions, "Do tell us, Mamie. and
don't stand there gaping as though
you contemplated swallowing US"
"Well, girls, let us sit down hero on
the hedge, and / shall endeavor to de-
scribe him. All seated? SO far, so
good. To begin with, he's about two

"But hate TO Lal. II he was a
woman, would not care"
AS he is a man, why can't you be
a boy; then you wouldn't hate to ask
him. Boys have audacitv enough for
anything" and Laura shook herlit-
tile head wisely.
Lal, your head will make you a for

Sammie's suits on, tuck my hair un-
