She was seated in the cleaning,
happy smile on her pretty. pensive
face, when her elderly aunt entered.
Then, as she looked upon the kind old
face, a feeling rushed upon her that
she must share her wonderful news
with somebody-she must let someone
into the secret which till then had
been the sole possession of herself and
Harold. She sprang up and flung her
arms about her aunt's neck.
"Oh, auntie," she cried impulsively,
"you do love me, don't you? Kiss me,
auntie, and tell me you do-kiss mel"
But only an alarming gurgle came
from the old lady for moment. Then
she said, gasping Indignantly:
kiss you, If you amt careful Ill
shake the life out Of you. You very
nearly made me swallow my teeth"
