 Mrs. Holbrook does not like to be left alone-and my husband is danc- ing"
 When he returns we must have turn," he remarked as he rose and re- turned to his own table near by. There were two other gentlemen with him, no ladies. Some way I was glad. I did not try to analyze the reason, but the feeling was there.
 But I was doomed to sit with Man ville's aunt the remainder of the eve ming. After taking Mrs. Markham back to her seat. he at once took one of the other ladies at her table on the floor, then after that dance he sat with them until the orchestra again started up, when he and the third woman stepped out to fox-trot. I glanced at Lawson Mckee. He made a discouraged little move which returned. It was almost midnight when Manville came back again. His aunt at once said she wished to go home.
 "It was delightful to watch the dancers" she told him while in the car on our way home. Your dinner was perfect. I was so glad. my dear nephew, to see you relax and have so good a time. You need a change oc- casionally," her hand batting his as it lay on his knee.

He seems Co be hap Ipy about it."
 sammy had already been noticed. Farmer Browns boy was whistling the
 way he always whistles when he is hap py or doing something he likes to do. Once in while he would stop to rest for few minutes and then he would look up in the trees as if looking for the birds hidden there, and his freckled face would be smiling and good to see. The fact is, Farmer Browns boy knew he was being watched. He knew that ever so many sharp eyes were watching him, though he couldn't see single pair. And he knew that his little friends were wondering and wondering what he could be about. When he had rested he would chuclle and then be- gin to dig and whistle again. Shrewd sammy Jay quickly made up his mind to one thing, and that was that what ever Farmer Browns boy was digging all those little holes for, he intended no harm to anybody. He said as much to Welcome Robin.
