Nov we're off, he encouraged her.
He was leaning back with oneleg crossed
over the other-a big, wholesome
boy. His blue eyes this morning were the

as untroubled. AS she studied him the
thought uppermost in her mind was that
she must not hurt him. She must be very
careful about that. She must give him
nothing to worry over.

She came into the Office looking like a

treasured her in an instant. The firm

steady her. Her tired eyes smiled graft

The Old Lane,

The great oaks twined their emerald hough.
To sift the suns too ardent rays.
The soft winds 'breathed their am'rous vows
The feathered lovers trilled loves lays.
The dogwood bloomed in beauty nigh.
The daisies wore their magic chain:
Far. far above cloud-fiecked sky;
Below. an old Virginia lane.
The honeysuckle decked the hedge

The brook that leapt from rocky ledge
To grass-grown shore bore n caress;
Love dwell In tree and laughing brook,
