Seeing the colonel still Offering the

and the gypsy, loud In his protestations
of gratitude, drove his caravan to the

Arriving at the gateway Of Stanley
hall, the grand old mansion built by a
great-grandson of the original forbear
of the family in America, the colonel
cantered his horse up the splendid
wide driveway. There on the lawn his
flower faced young wife, Ethel, in n
garden chair, swaddled in silken sha wis
and carefully attended by her old col.

him.
The old negro manservant, Ned, chief
factotum and butler of the establish
ment, appeared on the piazza and called
loudly to half grown colored lad to
take the masters horse.
The colonel and the old nurse gently
supported the flower faced young wife
from the lawn to the portals of the
great mansion.
1t must not be thought that any over
