"What makes a person ready to die, Elfie?" said her friend, disliking to ask the question, but yet more unable to answer hers, and curious to hear what she would say. "O to be a Christian," said Fleda. "But I have seen Christians," said Mr. Carleton, "who were no more ready to die than other people." "Then they were make-believe Christians," said Fleda decidedly.

Drouet shook hands, beaming good nature, and they strolled towards the bar. " Oh, all right." " I haven't seen you in six weeks. When did you get in?" " Friday," said Drouet. " Had a fine trip." " Glad of it," said Hurstwood, his black eyes lit with a warmth which half displaced the cold make-believe that usually dwelt in them.

There were a few conversations, but they were merely gay, inconsequent make-believe talks, in which Suzanne saw Eugene as one who was forever happy. She little discerned the brooding depths of longing that lay beneath his gay exterior. The climax was brought about, however, when one July day after a short visit to one of the summer resorts, Angela was taken ill.

It extended right across the whole after-end of the cabin. Mr. Burns motioned to sit down, dropped into one of the swivel-chairs round the table, and kept his eyes on me as persistently as ever, and with that strange air as if all this were make-believe and he expected me to get up, burst into a laugh, slap him on the back, and vanish from the cabin.

"Well, I mean a make-believe Indian fever," said the little girl. "No, it was a make-believe arrow fever," said Bunny. "I got shot with an Indian arrow you know." "Oh yes," Sue answered. "But, anyhow, you're all well now. Oh, look out, Splash!" she cried as the big dog ran into a puddle of water and splashed it so that some got on Sue's dress.
