These definitions differ with the stat

be said that murder in the first degree
is confined to homicide committed by

to those winch accomplish the commits

Murder in the second degree occurs
where there Is no such deliberately

And she really would. Her face
told them that For even better than
gayety on Christmas night, is the op-
portunity to do a loving thing for
someone dear to you. And Violet was
dear to Aunt Sophia, and Dick soon
would be!
At the theater Dick suddenly told
himself, II know what 1t is about
Violet that makes her sweeter to my
feeling than all the other girls put
together It's because she's the kind
est. And perhaps she'll be kind to
me and take me even If she's not so

And that is why that was the night
he chose for proposing.

But perhaps Violet was one Of the
wisest after all. For Richard still
thinks 1t was partly, at least, her
kindness that made her take him!

the maidens them
selves thought 50. And Violet Mar
tin, who was neither the prettiest, nor
the richest, nor the cleverest of the
maldens, agreed with them in their es-
Innate of the big, handsome, wealthy
fellow. But 1t was, with her, not his
riches, or his good looks, or even his
great popularity that gave her this
thought. No. 1t was feeling she
had for the whole two years since he
had come to Williamsville, that he
would make one of the best comrades
in the world. She understood his spe-
cial sense of humOr She loved his
laugh. Violet Martin was honestly In
love with this big, congenial boy.
Richard was in love with Violet, too.
He was quite certain Of that. But he
was spoiled. Anyone would be spoiled
who was adored as Richard was
adored. You see, 1t was not only the
girls-there was his mother who had
spoiled him from infancy That is
why Richard, although he knew he
loved this girl who wasn't the prettiest,
nor the richest, nor the wisest In VIII
liamsville-no, not by far, had not
quite come to the point of proposing.
For Violet, who was honestly In love
with him (not like the others who
were In love with the idea Of perhaps
being loved by this hero) dared not
show her alteration. No, she dared
only be as frank and comradely as q
boy. and treat him like an equal.
And Richard was a little put out
with this. Any reflection of himself
in a girls eyes short of hero's refiec-
tiOn made him feel strange.
Besides, he wasn't sure 1t was pos
sible for man to be In love with
lady unless she was In love with him.
He had pride. too.
But Christmas night the drama
came to its crisis.
