Marjorie, her mother, and the young farmer who had charge of the farm, were often the only ones at the table, and the only occupants of the sitting-room during the long winter evenings. Marjorie sighed for Linnet, or she would have sighed for her, if she had been selfish; she remembered the evenings of studying with Morris, and the master's tread as he walked up and down and talked to her father.

I locked the picture of the beetle in the drawer, and I lunched with Dora Grayling. The Terror by Night and the Terror by Day Miss Marjorie Lindon tells the Tale I am the happiest woman in the world! I wonder how many women have said that of themselves in their time, but I am. Paul has told me that he loves me. How long I have made inward confession of my love for him, I should be ashamed to say.

I remember the man saying that that nice joker stripped him of his duds, and certainly when I saw him, and when Marjorie found him! he had absolutely nothing on but a queer sort of cloak.

Marjorie revealed what she knew about Frieda, omitting to tell about the letter she wrote to the girl; and Miss Phillips informed them that they still had three hundred dollars in the treasury. "Now for the new patrols," she announced; "I know you are all interested.

Father Campion made as if he would speak; but interrupted himself and was silent; and it seemed to Marjorie as if another mood was fallen on him. And presently they were talking again of London and its sights. In spite of her weariness, Marjorie could not sleep for an hour or two after she had gone to bed.

True to Jerry's prediction, three curious young women stood grouped in front of Marjorie's locker, impatiently awaiting her arrival. "Wait until we are outside, girls. I'll be ready in a jiffy." Marjorie slipped into her raincoat and pulled her blue velour hat over her curls. "We can't talk here. Miss Merton is likely to wander down, and then you know what will happen."

But her watchful eyes had detected a stitch dropped in grandmother's work and that must be attended to first. The old lady gave up her work willingly and laid her head back to rest while Marjorie knit once around. And then the short letter was twice read aloud and every sentence discussed.

"Up in my room on the table you will find paper and pencil; please bring them to me." Marjorie flew away and Miss Prudence gave herself up to her interrupted reverie. To-day was one of Miss Prudence's hard-working days; that is, it was followed by the effect of a hard-working day; the days in which she felt too weak to do anything beside pray she counted the successful days of her life.

"Why, I'd be delighted; that is, if she wouldn't mind." "Oh, Elsie'd be tickled to death!" cried Elsie's brother, growing reckless in his gratitude. "Say, doctor, it's awfully decent of you. You see, I won't see Marjorie again till Christmas, likely and you know " "Yes, yes, I understand," said Gilbert sympathetically.

You know what dreadful sick headaches she sometimes has. She had one on the first day I went to Sanford High, and I had to go alone." "I remember," nodded Mary carelessly. "That was one of the things you did write me." "I wrote you lots of things," retorted Marjorie lightly, failing to catch the significance of Mary's words. "But now you are here, I don't have to write them. I can say them."
