half chance to look at you yet
Nor l you; how's Harry?"

room you have"

any use. Where did>you get that magni-
hcent fern?'

ago"
IT'S so much like one I had given to
me; but mine died.

Good night"
| For a long time quiet reigns. The deep,
regular breathing of the girls and the
| ticking of the little eight day are the
| only sounds to be heard
| Estelle moves restlessly once or twice
| then she sits bolt upright in bed and
gives her pillow a vicious punch. In a
| low, sepulchral tone she calls, Man"
Mercy! I thought you were asleep.
! What is it?''
Does Harry Golf go with any one
now?'
Moo. He comes over to the house
some times. I never see him with any
one. Did you hear he did,"
NO; thought I'd ask you, that's all.
Good night"
Both girls are very wide awake now.
20, Estele Harry told me to tell you
yes; he said you'd understand. 1 think
| that looks suspicious
DIN he? Are you sure?''
Positive. 1 should have forgotten It,
though, if you hadn't mentioned his name
just now
"Well. thanks, awfully. I'm so tired
can hardly keep my eyes open. Let's go
to sleep now. Good night"
Good night"
"Have you quite enough over you,
dear?"
Plenty. Good night"

young man who lives at the head of the
avenue?"
Hes my cousin. Dr. Mack. .Why?''

ed his hat to me as I passed"
Just like Harry Golf. Good night"
II don't think Harry's a firt."

Good night"
What time shall we get up?"
