and bit her lip

cor tilted up the wilful chin, as Nancy
prped very red. Let me look well
Al vol, after such open confession as
that It does sound serious, ON my
word! Well, you must have known
last evening how glad l was to hear
the news. You might have worn

Infection.
Nancy Blundell Tell me, IL you
dare that nothing reached you from
me about seven, last evening""
Something certainly did come,

TO drag an oblong pasteboard box-a
florists box, by the printed label

with the knotted cord around it. 'I

She tore off the cover and pulled
out--a boys coat, somewhat worn, of
brown corduroy. other garments lay
folded beneath.
Miss Haven leaned over with a cry

sent?" She turned to her friend.
Barker promised to take them
without fail before dinner. Mother
had some errands for him, too. She
was letting Audrey help her when
went into the library. They were ad-
dressing some books for him to take

nations for Madame Van Zandt. I
didn't hear the other places, but left
my-your box, l mean, on the table
with the rest, and told Barker where
1t was. The address was on a card
tied to it,"
