beth's reserve did not return. She
laughed and talked, and although most
of her conversation was addressed to
the precocious lad "the tall man with
this nice face" felt that he was no
longer under the ban.
Finally William grew sleepy ana al
lowed his head to drop against Eliza
beth's arm; she looked down at the
yellow curls and something gripped at
her heart; he was so quiet now, so

How would you like to taboo the
Pullman and have breakfast at little
place we have found near here?"
"Oh, it will be fine" Elizabeth could
be real girlish, when she was not too

William ran ahead, as they walked
gaily to the little inn.
"Will you tell me your name?"

glad that she blushed.
The breakfast was delightful, and
