There was set before the grateful

then she felt better. BY noon the next
day she was herself ag2jn.
How the boys gazed al ner, every

Now that she was well il was time,
she thought, to 20 on her way. But
the big-hearted, generous Josselyn
would not hear Of it. Strange, isn't it,
how in twenty-four hours woman
with two big eyes can get into ones
