Lisa, her cheek losing a shade or so OF

happen?" :.
"As most failures happen, my dear"
said Mr.. Segrist, folding up his paper.
Too much press of canvas and too lit

young fellow enough, and this will
throw him back twenty years"
Lisa sat thinking, with her pansy
eyes fixed intently on the pattern Of
the tablecloth, her red lips apart, until
her sisters clear, bird-like voice
aroused her from the temporary alb

''That does sound very worldly, I" said
she.
