Bran, after watching them attentively for a few moments as they stood side by side near the French window, rose up from off his haunches, and walked gloomily away. 'Bran, Bran! Twemlow cried. 'It's no use, she laughed. 'He's vexed. He thinks he's being neglected. He'll go to his kennel and nothing will bring him out of it, except food. Come into the house. It's going to rain again.

Powell, slipping the Articles into a long envelope, spoke up with a sort of cold half-laugh without looking at either of us. "Mind you don't disgrace the name, Charles." "And the skipper chimes in very kindly: "He'll do well enough I dare say. I'll look after him a bit."

I know he'll laugh at me." "He won't laugh at you," said the girl, confidently, almost comfortingly. "I want him to know everything before I meet him. I don't want to have a single thing on my mind. I don't want to think of myself!" Mrs. Kenton understood the woman soul that spoke in these words. "Well," she said, with a deep, long breath, "be ready, then."

'I don't believe you can do anything to him. He didn't steal it.

"Oh, he is just a fool. Let him alone," said the man; whilst another added: "He'll come around, darlin'; don't you bother; and if he don't, I will." " him! He's got to go. I won't let him now.

"I have an idea he'll come back before long," Sandy suggested. "He's built a nice fire and brought in plenty of venison, and won't go away and leave the cosy corner just yet."

Van was silent and she presently added: "I hope you and Glen will be friends. I know how much he'll wish to thank you." He looked at her gravely. "I hope he won't. It's up to me to thank him."
