Kitty.
Again Margeson longed to ask who

up in surprise when Margeson was

Molly with swift blush.
Margeson drew nearer and put his
arms closely about her.
Il love you, girl" he told her. "and
l could not possibly wait while you
make another trousseau. You car

amber light put in-just for you to

When Molly was permitted the use
of her lips for vocal expression, al
