 T am not Nigel's widow. was never his wife. I have no right here at all. I am just deceiving you all along"
 She went to the door of the stables, and stood looking across the sunny garden with eyes that saw nothing. David came to stand beside her: there was sort of compassion in his face.
 T hope you will be happy here with us," he said. "I hope you will believe that I am anxious to be your friend. If there is anything trou-' bling you, I wish you would tell me, and let me help yon." \ His voice sounded kind and sim cere; there was nothing but earnest sincerity in his eyes; for moment she longed to take him at his word, and make.a clean breast of the whole miserable story, but something pre- vented her; she even forced herself to laugh a little, though the tears rushed to her eyes.
 You are very kind; I will not forget. But--but there isn't any thing troubling me--there isn't ans- thing at all."
 And now she was no longer look ing at him. She moved out into the yard again as if to prevent further conversation.

 "I am proud of it, even though l shall probably be the last Bretherton to live here"
 She looked up startled.
 What do you mean?"
 "Only that now Nigel is gone there will be nobody to carry on the name"
 But you will marry?"
 He shook his head.
 Its not very probable; I'm not the sort of man women care for, even if wished them to-" He smiled, looking down at her.
 "Oh, but you mustn't think that" she told him impulsively. "It's only just that you haven't met the right woman yet; some day she will come along, and then"
 "Yes, and them" he echoed.
 "Well. then, all the world will seem changed and different; you will wonder how ever you managed to live without her."
 His grave eyes searched her face. "Is that how one feels when one is in love?"
 She looked up, and quickly away again.
 "oh, r." She broke off. T am afraid I have been talking non- sense," she said distressfully.

 ''Indcedi l do see that they are sticks." the Witch howled louder than usual But you took the Raggedys out and put the sticks fin afterwards" the Witch cried.
 f'No, sir. l didn't"' the Grocery boy replied. He could say this very truth fully for really, he had not taken the Eaggedys from the basket They had climbel out themselves. "Of course rut sticks in the basket thought" he added.
 "Ahai then I know!" the Witch cried. "The Raggedys climbed out tLcpselves. then you put the sticks in V hen you heard me comingi That's what you did!"
