late that day, those men highest in

Count Frederick entered the room
at last-but not alone. At his side
there walked one whose presence was
greeted with frown by these grave
and revered seigniors-it was a WON

solid contentment. June is the month

the same ones perhaps that she ex-

as all do eventually. The persons who

There are so many things one can find

and a girl, you ought to be happy.
