'She couldn't have been very backward anyhow, considering the short time you have known her, said his mother. 'Well I think that five years hence you'll be plenty young enough to think of such things. And really she can very well afford to wait, and will too, take my word. Living down in an out-step place like this, I am sure she ought to be very thankful that you took notice of her.

I'll tell you pretty soon." His daughter laughed, softly. "I know you will, Dad," she said. "You couldn't keep a secret in that dear old head of yours if you tried. Not from me, anyway; could you, dear?" "I guess not," regarding her fondly. "Anyhow, I shan't try to keep this one. Well, this time to-morrow you'll be back at college again, in among all those Greek and Latin folks.

She wants to run and play with children. We must keep her a little girl as long as possible, and not bother her brains with the wisdom of the ages. Send her up to West Farms. As Father says, we can see her every few days." That settled the matter. Father Underhill did not care to give her up anyhow, and he was best pleased with this plan. Mrs.

I suppose we might as well keep up the fool record we have begun. It suits me, anyhow." And a single man, knowing nothing about such things, could give no opinion. I was abusive and sarcastic, but he insisted on buying a great luncheon.

"But what special thing have you done to prove your love for me just now?" "Taken a blow without returning it." She bent over and kissed her boy. He was fifteen years old, a tall fellow with strong muscles; but he had not grown above liking his mother's kisses. Then she said softly, "Tell me all about it, Guy." "O, it was Dick Osgood!
