He won't be so good and wise you, Uncle
Dan. You're a saint and Solomon rolled into

Oh, no, We don't expect the superlative virtues
of the Scovels from those unfortunate enough to
be born into other families; but who is it that you
have found not altogether unworthy? You say
you've made up your mind to marry. Who is the
lucky dog?"
Il don't know. l haven't made up my mind
as far that I've only just come to the con-
clusion that l shall marry. Doubtless that i'm

haven't selected him.
There are only two candidates, l suppose"
said her uncle comprehendingly.
Yes" said Barbara, there are only two can

That evening John HOLSTER called. He was the
other candidate. Personally, he was a big, hand

the presence Of John HOLSTER, her own demeanor
always took a shade more of gracious dignity.
This involuntary and even unconscious on her
part; just with Robert Lloyd she always fell
into a chummy and informal attitude.
You're very beautiful tonight, dear" said
HOLSTER, as he adjusted chair for her.
What a subtle compliment" she returned,
laughing into his blue eyes.
You mean that it isn't. But did l ever pre-

No you couldn't pretend it; you don't
know what subtlety means"

his sarcastic intent. Oh, John, if YOU could
