CHAPTER VI.


TACK PETHERBY had one of those
bright, open-hearted, gcnerou
y natures which spread sunshine all
around. Everybody had a good word
for him; and the instant he entered
the Towers the place seemed to catch
the infection of his winning smile and
to ring with the echo of his CHEEKY
voice.
There was only one person with
whom he could not be friendly-Broad-
stone himself. The latter professed to
Eva hat he liked her brother; but
Jack made no secret of his dislike for
his lordship; and the two nearly came
to quarreling the morning after Jacks
arrival.
Jack in his impetuous way had
walked into Broadstone's room and
asked: "How is it that Eva is looking
so troubled, Lord Broadstone?"
You had better ask DR.. Bradford,
Jack. He looks after her"

Eva up a bit"
You should be here more, boy. That
would do it. You're the best medicine
for her. Isn't that SO. Eva? p"
Her answer was a smile and a glance
at her brother.
Il haven't managed to cheer her UP
much this morning said Jack, a little
dismally.
What YOU should do, Jack. is to stay
here awhile and look round to find your
sister a friend or two. She's hipped

Jack, when they We're alone.
