on the brow. but she turned her head
away to hide the tears that trickled
down her cheek. She had a feeling
that she mustn't let him see this

Genie said nothing more of David

friendly way. Cherry told him where
she was working and several times he

cherry rejoiced with him because
she saw how happy he was. but her
pleasure was tempered by the thought
that next winter David would leave
New York--to be gone for years per-

must tell me all about these people
