holding back the dog from his earnest

the belongings of his beloved mis-
tress. while she kept her skirts well

The dogs strenuosity gradually di-

lated eyes sometimes will, and his
heart moved several inches upward as
he saw in the quick glance that she
permitted him to share her amuse-

Morton stopped short. Not let her

they would. He knew the president

handed It back to her.

feelings Of elatiOn and almost OF

The girl was paying no attention 90

and clean, and that he had on a dark

he was considerably embarrassed.
