her brave eyes defiantly to Johns, she
became aware of Lorrie's pale worn
face framed in the open doorway.
There was a look of irrepressible won

Something strange happened just

my forehead was very soft and pleasant.

''She is waiting for me-" said Ida,
with sweet, shy. upward look at the
tall fellow in front of her. go and tell
her that I am here, please"
Lorimer came back from his errand
with a luminous smile. "Come. Truly
she is waiting for you"
He left the two women together, and
came out to where John still sat move

asleep in the slumberous sunshine-she
with her bright curls falling over his
shaggy eyebrows, he with one huge
paw outstretched protectingly upon her
short skirts.

sircled gravely twice around her before
responding, ENORMOUSLY: But can't
see them"
ssSee what?~
'sYour new WINGS"
Whereupon Ida laughed SO long and
SO gayly that Ninette, plying her own
little narrow gauge to this unwonted
now of spirits, asked:
SIS somebody given you something
nice, auatie?"
NO, Niece Ninette, but have beer
