And both Of them were seized with
fits Of laughter which they managed

cried.
"George, do let PendennIs trot

II won'tl"
She clucked to the horse. "Get up,

Pendennis paid no attention; she
meant nothing to him, and George
laughed at her fondly. "You are the
prettiest thing In this world, Lucy I" he
exclaimed. "Are you going to drop the
almost and say we're really engagedT'
"Oh, not for years! So there's the
answer, and let's trot again."
But George was persistent more
over, he had become serious during
the last minute or two. II want to
know" he said. II really mean It."
Lets don't be serious, George" she
begged him hopefully. Let's talk Of
something pleasant"
He was little offended. "Then II
isn't pleasant for you to know that
want to marry you?"
At this she became as serious as he
could have asked; she looked down,
and her lip quivered like that Of q
child about to cry. Suddenly she put
her hand upon one Of his for just an
instant. and then withdrew 1t.
