Sarah sat a little apart from the
rest; such good fortune as to be asked
to dance by a real man had never be-
fallen her. Nor, to do her Justice,
! had such an idea ever occurred to
her.
AS she was sitting one evening
watching the other little girls dane
ing, a young man stopped suddenly.
before her. Then to her amazement
she was whirled away by the very
smartest young man at the Hotel.
No one had thought that Sarah was
particularly graceful child, but here
before the whole ballroom she proved
that she was the best dancer Of all the
little girls.
Her partner bore her back to her
seat flushed and happy.
well, little girl" he said smilingly,
that was the best ever. Well have

True to his word, bach he came fol
her before she was carried of to bed
The next morning the young mar
stopped beside her, saying in feigned
surprise: "Why, here's my little Cir,
derella"
Then he sat down beside her and
showed her the most wonderful tricks
and made the loveliest bird sounds
deep down in his throat that any one
had ever heard. After that he often
took her and her nurse sailing, and
| taught her to swim, and every dance
night he danced a waltz and a two
step with her. When he couldn't find
her he would loudly inquire Of the
smiling women at the hotel for his
little sweetheart"
These same women said to each
other that the buoyancy Of young Mr..
Russell clearly was assumed to cover
his chagrin at having been refused, as

saw nothing of the amused patronage
in his:
On her birthday came a big sailor

was full to overlooking, She fairly

splendid and handsome.
He told the most wonderful stories
about the strangest birds, beasts and

nodded to each other and wondered
how Eoung Mr.. Russell would act.
Young Mr.. Russell continued to take
Sarah about with her nurse and the
sailor doll and tue pretty new arrival
did MT seem to disturb his serenity
However, one morning Miss Gran
dali Happened to be on the pier as
they were going sailing and somehow
the nurse was sent back and Miss
Crandall took her place.
After this the same thing happened
very often.
Sarah, sitting like mouse In the
bottom Of the boat, holding her doll
was glad. Miss Crandall's hair had 2
little way OF creeping out when the
wind blew and crinkling around her
neck, and her color had a habit OF
coming and going in her cheeks when
she talked or was interested.
Yes, she was far better to look upon

She didn't notice that the time Of
