the fact that Kitty if she showed par

bravely to emulate Colgrove's plan,

was tired and refused him. She added
with a touch Of severity that any one
who really loved music would realize
that the sonata took all the best in one

no reason for her going in so des.

"One would think she had made a
vow!' young Seth declared irritably,

he can turn the leaves and hunt up

Even kitty's family, In the privacy
Of their own councils, said with awe
that Colgrove certainly must be very
much in love with Kitty to endure the
racket,

When invitations were out to Col.
