Flo Jardine had her hand on the
door knob and would have entered
her fiances room unannounced, as
was her wont, had not the sound of
her own name, uttered in loud tones
by an unknown voice, stopped her. 1t
could not be possible that George was
discussing her, and with perfect
stranger, too. The thing was prepos-
terous She could not so in, but she
would never condescend to eavesdrop-
ping. Certainly not! But where was
she to go? There was no place but
the scat opposite the Office door, and
the conversation would reach her
there. Well she would close her ears
and not pay any attention. Animated
by this most excellent resolution she
took her seat, but again she heard the
strange voice repeating her name even
louder than before.
What vii Miss Jardine say TO the
whole story, eh?" the speaker demand,

The cutting Of the tree in the manner
has q serious effect on the life of the
tree. 1t opens up avenues for process
of decay and weakens the trunk SO
that it is more liable to fall through
