Her aunt made a sudden move

God bless you, dear child. You

Vernon wonderingly.

passionately. This district visiting

Vernon" gasped Mrs. Bardsley,
in complete surprise.
"Auntie, what you have to do is
to follow up that rumor to its source,
and kill it," said Vernon earnestly.
''If it goes tricl1ling on among all
the people you know, it may do real
harm, because it Will be said that
YOU do not contradict it. Tell Jem
honestly that you have heard it, and
ask him for his assurance that it is

Her aunt looked fixedly at her.
What makes you so sure that this
thing is not true?"
why, auntie, / don't see that one

known Jem all his life. He isn't very
sweet-tempered-but have you ever
