joy and preened and twittered and
thought how blessed q thing it was to
be welcomed to the ireside of such a
belle and beauty and to be remembered
by her as one Of the gay young bachelors
at Sidney. Such wicked stories as we
heard Of you scapegraces from time to
time" said she, whereat Hodge looked
as though he might indeed have been
shockingly wicked, as perhaps he had.
Indeed she feared they (the young off.
oers) were "a sad lot, sad lott" and
looked up at him from under the droop-

not talk if they thought she wished to

who had told so much that was of vivid
interest to her; it was Hodge she had
been longing to meet for days, but Winn
had held him aloof, and now here she
had this ingenious repository Of Bar
clayisms all to herself until Winn
should return. The chance was not to
be lost.
