"Now she's getting sour-castic," commented Grace lazily. "Have some candy, honey, and sweeten up." She passed the ever-present box of delicacies over to Mollie, to which overture the young driver responded with so indignant a stare that Grace quickly withdrew the box, tucked it behind her, and strove to look unconscious. "Please, ma'am, I didn't mean to do it," she said meekly.

In 1862, in the pages of "Once a Week," he published two of his Manx translations, the ballads "Brown William" and "Mollie Charane." In August and September, 1857, Borrow was walking again in Wales, covering four hundred miles, as he told John Murray, and once, at least, between Builth and Mortimer's Cross, making twenty-eight miles in a day.

"All my life long," said Bernard Farrell slowly, "all my life everything that I have touched has turned to gold, and everyone I have loved," he paused, lingering on the word, and again Mollie shivered in sympathetic understanding "everyone whom I have loved has died!" The wind seemed to take up the word, and repeat it in melancholy echo.

"When it's all her fault, anyway " But Betty upset both speech and dignity by unceremoniously pulling her down again. "Come on! Hurry, Gracie!" she commanded. "And don't overlook any, because there's nothing so messy as a chocolate " "As if there were any chance of Grace's overlooking a chocolate!" scoffed Mollie. "Why, all she has to do is whistle to 'em and they come rolling up obediently."

I am not too late! Oh, Mollie, Mollie, how could you?" Mollie sat up among her blue and gray cushions and stared at her for a moment, as if she was not wide enough awake to realize what she meant. But the next instant she caught sight of Ralph Gowan, and that roused her fully, and she flushed scarlet. "I don't know what you mean," she said. "I don't know what you mean by coming here in this way.

Shrinking instinctively, yet hardly knowing what to do, she found herself in it, and seated, before she quite knew it. He sprung after her, closed the door, the carriage started at once at a great pace, and the poor little fly was fairly caught in the spider's web. "I don't like this," said Mollie, decisively. "I had no idea of entering a carriage when I appointed this meeting.

I might add something about the personal lives of the four chums, by saying that Betty was an only child, that Grace had a lovable brother Will, and Mollie a small brother and sister Paul and Dodo twins, who were alternately called the "cutest" and the "most mischievous" youngsters in existence. Of Amy's mystery I have already hinted.

Still, it is rather upsetting, coming so suddenly like this, when not one of the family has ever seen him never even heard his very name before." "Well, that part of it isn't especially strange, Mollie. He was born and brought up in a town three hundred miles from here. I don't see just how we could have heard his name unless he visited here or got into the papers in some way." Mrs.

The most shocking tempests in tea-pots. Guardy is going to separate from his wife!" "Indeed!" said Mr. Ingelow, coolly. "The very best thing he could do." "Oh, Mr. Ingelow!" "Quite true, Mollie. She's a Tartar, if ever there was a Tartar. He committed a terrible act of folly when he married her; let him show his return to wisdom by sending her adrift. I don't pity her in the least.

"I happened to catch a glimpse of some faces at the window of that hut, and I did not like the look of them they were ugh! I don't know what to say," and Betty gave a slight shiver that was not caused entirely by the chilling rain.
