ly's vacation had just commenced, and
myself was SO dead-tired of the routine
of struggling with stupid pupils that L
was almost ready to go TO an asylum and
ask to be locked up. SO l wrote to Clara
when to expect us. The morning before
we were to start the postman came, and
ran down to get the mail. There was a
letter for me and when | opened IL l

My Dearest Edith:

leg, and they telegraphed for It's TO come
Immediately. OF course we feel that We
must GO Now will you forgive me If

sition? Won't you and Early please
come anyway? You will have no trouble
finding the place, 3l4 Mellison. and the
key will be under the northeast corner of
the doormat. Go right In and take pos

I hurried upstairs and rushed into the
bedroom where Early was combing her
hair.

that fate hasn't got 1t in for the Chlore
girls,-
Early dropped the comb. and her lovely
hair tumbed in cloud all over her
pretty, white shoulders. For fully a min
ute after she had read II she did not say
"A word, and l watched her in suspense.
EARLY" l cried, what shall We do?"
Well ] suppose we could give up our
visit" she said.
Actually, / hadn't realized until that
minute how frantically l was looking for
ward TO that visit. When she said that
i turned cold all over.
why, Early Chlore," l exclaimed.
How can you suggest such thing?'
Early burst into a little. high laugh.
and stopped TO pick up the comb Her
hair fell down the wrong way, and she
parted place for her eyes to shine
through as she said buoyantly: Il think
we'll start tomorrow for Prattsburg as
we had intended; and We'll take posses
sion Of 3i4 Mellison, and go to house

Strange that he should remember hear

get him switched off from anything in

foolish thing that had happened, even to

He listened with the most f1attering in

So I did: ! was determined I would keep
him in good humor, though the skies

bright idea. There was an alcove right
at the end of the piano. My eye fell
upon it. and I saw my way clear I
smiled my very sweetest. "Ill play" I
said, 'if you will promise to sit in the
alcove all the while. I can tell by your
face that you have temperament: 1 want
the inspiration Of watching you as

He looked at me queerly for a minute
"Heavens.' l thought, is he going
to jump now"
But he only laughed.
