 GLENDENING's ROMANTIC GIFT
 Doctor Milton gazed disapprovincly at Davis. Dave" he remarked, T Lave every reason to hate GIenden- ing but even so I can see in his gift to Margaret nothing but a wish to make her happy"
 You are overlooking something, Mflu" smiled Davis. "Glendeninr had a double reason for the clever idea of his picture within a picture. Doris Glendening as you will learn from her story often called upon Margaret Earle. See? Nevertheless We will give Harry the benefit of the doubt"
