the season and left in about a month
afterwards"
"We?"
The aunts I always travel around
with. They have been ready ever
since to fall on your neck with graft
tude and tears"
"Oh," protested the young man. on
whose brow the laurels of life-saver
did not rest easily; at didn't amount
to anything"
"Oh, of course not" she answered
quickly, with exaggerated politeness;

eyes met and both laughed
"Youc eyes arc brighter than ever"
he said.

for year. That's another rescuer
you are thinking about. Is it habit
of yours to fall into the river when
young man happens to go by in a
boat?"
She flashed a scornful glance in his
direction.
81 never forget anybody or anything,

might say. You wore a mustache in
the fall SO going up the Nile. 1t shows

He obeyed silently.
"Where are you going now. Dolly?"

mot Dorothy eymour-Earvey
sister?" he cried.
Yes" she cried. "Why not?"
'Why, he used to blow about you
until we were all crazy to see you,
and then you never did show up at
commencement or anything and we de-
cided you were a myth"
"There!" she exclaimed. "That ex-
plains it."
"What?"
'Why, your face being so familiar.
