This said. she resumed the cooling
process with the tiny bit of linen and
lace in her hand and awaited reply
Briscoe flickered a fly from a Leaf
with a carefully directed and skillfully
executed jerk of his handkerchief. and
wisely held his tongue

hills with you on your absurd botanical
explorations" she continued, scraping
the moss from the end of the log with

dusty, and then when remark that II

riciously. II suppose if I told you !
felt as if I were going to die you'd still

''Margery!"
The word came sharp and decisive as
he sprang to his feet.
The girl gazed at him and then broke
into silyery laugh !

mean to be cross; / didn't, Bennie, real
~ I didn't, and the pleading in he1
eyes and the contrition in her voice
were such that he joined in her laugh
and reseated himself by her side She
broke the silence ~

laughed. = >,+-~e -
