And Leslie babbled on IN baissful

TO Booths mind. the ghost q CAallis
Wrandall ives there.
Turning - Miss Castletsa Nth .
significant hook in his eyes, msont to
to call her attention to Mrs. Wpandall,
he Was smased to fna that every YES
tise Of color bad gone fron The girls
face. She wss listening to wFandall
and replying In monosyl yllabsss. but
that she was aware Of the stAss WON
ems abstraction was not for n in
slant TO b doubted. suA1snly, after
. quick glance ct saraS laoa, she
looked squarely into Booths eyss, and
he saw in hers IN expr0si0a q actual
eOncern, n n0t alarm.
Leslie Was IN the nidlls - q sen
tenOe wheA 0aFa laughed alouA, with
out excuse o. reason. The next -
stant she was hooking from one to ths
other In . dazed sort Of way, - n
coming out of q dream.
Wrandall turned scarlet There had
been nothing in his remarks to call
for a laugh, he was quite sure Of that.
Flushing slightly, she murmured some
thing about having thought of an
amusing story, and begged him to
go on, she wouldn't be rude again.
He had little zest for continuing the
subject and sullenly disposed of it in
q word or two.
What the devil was there to laugh
at. Brandy?" he demanded of his
friend after the women had left them
together on the porch a few minutes
later. Hetty had gone upstairs with
Mrs. Wrandall, her arm olasped tight
ly about the older woman's waist.
Il dare say she was thinking about
you falling a mile or two," said Booth
pleasantly.
