Sometimes it, happened that Miss
Dacres would come home while they
were sitting there. She never seemed
to- like it, and usually she rode on;
and came back, when President Smith
had left and DR.. Nynne had gone up
stairs. If they were still there, when
she came, past the second time, she
would go on again, or else stand her
wheel against the tree, open the.
gate, and walk swiftly round the
house I told" her once that it
Wouldn't do any harm to be intro
duced to two of the most learned
men of modern times, but she al

lower-front to see, iftshe would not
like to- take i. the: vacant seat: In
truth, it came into nay mind that per-
haPs in the close comprehensive that
! a long drive brings about she might
be willing to say a little more about
herself and I was anxious to learn
what there was to tell before I be!

sponded;.,I opened her door a little

me Of DR.. Wynne. I ran, up to, his
