"Lovely 'Nita' was elected to membership a fortnight ago, when a vacancy occurred, due to the resignation of Miss Alice Humphrey, who has gone abroad for a year's study in the Sorbonne. The two-table club now includes: Mesdames Hugo Marshall, Tracey A. Miles, Peter Dunlap, John C. Drake, Juanita Selim, and Misses Polly Beale, Janet Raymond, and Penelope Crain."

"I am," he said, and rang the bell. "Miss Delary?" said a maid, "she left here two days ago. If you are Mr. Kent, the note on the mantelpiece is for you." Kent, "Peter and I were married yesterday morning, and have taken an apartment in Java, New Jersey. You will be glad to hear that Peter's cough is ever so much better. The lawyers have given Peter his money without the least demur.

"Yes, we surely will come back very soon," declared Grace. "And Little Peter Pan, you may watch us from your tree. We have a power boat and a row boat you can tell us by a signal. When we come we will wave a blue flag a light blue one, like a piece of the sky," finished Grace. "All right," said the child, a little dolefully.

Absolute secrecy a prerequisite as explained. Reporters tried to reach me to-night. Trust you fully, but implore you to proceed with utmost caution. "The plot thickens," said Peter when Varney turned back, "till I, for one, can't see the drift. However you've sent for the Daily?" Varney nodded. "I told him to get three or four others, too, for a blind."

She considered for a moment. "Yes, I suppose in a way it would," she acknowledged. "But even so?" she asked, after another moment of consideration.

"She's a beautiful woman, and young still," said the other man, after awhile. Peter did not hear him. Cherry looked small and pathetic in her fresh black, and her face was marked by secret incessant weeping.

He envies the birds because they can pour out in beautiful song the joy that is in them. The only way he can express his feelings is by kicking his long heels, jumping about, and such foolish things. While that gives Peter a great deal of satisfaction, it doesn't add to the joy of other people as do the songs of the birds, and you know to give joy to others is to add to your own joy.

But Annie was paying only slight attention. Now her round eyes suddenly brightened. "I've got it," she cried. "There's there's Peter Blunt. He's sure to know where Jim is, or be able to find him. Yes, and there's your Elia if Peter fails." But Eve shook her head at the latter suggestion. "Peter, yes. He'll help us, surely. But we must not think of Elia. He's he's too delicate."

I meant to have gone down to the farm-house after tea, and inquired about the safety of my prizes, but Kate wanted to play chess. Peter couldn't, and Peggy wouldn't; I had to, of course, and we played late.
