Leonard thrust himself abruptly to-

that l adore you. A broken engage

dropping the ring into his unwilling
hand. Then she arose and left him,

this morning Leonard had kicked at
him spitefully, so Pandick skulked
away to the barn.
After a restless night saba rose

Aunt Laura for lunch.

But Pandick drew Sada away from
