Calhoun Conly her parents were among the first, and their and her near relatives from Indiana and Louisiana soon followed; their coming giving great pleasure to both her aunt Annis and herself, as well as to the Ion family. Mrs. Betty Norris and her brother Dr. Robert Johnson, their half brother Dr. Dick Percival, and his sister Mrs.
I was for staying up, but Jones said he'd die if he didn't get out soon; and besides, he thought we ought to look after Conly. But I said Conly was probably drowned, anyhow, so it was hardly worth while to sacrifice our experiments on that account; and I told Jones that a man of his intelligence ought to be willing to endure something for the sake of scientific truth.
"Why, what do you mean?" asked Zoe, opening her eyes wide with surprise. "That she would not have the slightest objection to becoming Mrs. Dr. Conly." "But you don't think there's any danger?" queried Zoe, by no means pleased with the idea of having the lady in question made a member of the family connection. "No, and I certainly hope not.
"Well," said Elsie, glancing dreamily about, "this parlor where we are all sitting occupies the same part of the house, and is almost exactly like the one where the scenes I told you of took place." "What scenes?" asked Dr. Conly, drawing near, with a look of interest. Mr. Dinsmore, too, turned to listen.
"Cousin Arthur is coming!" he cried as a carriage turned in at the great gates and came swiftly up the driveway. "Yes," said his father, stepping forward to meet and welcome Dr. Conly, "always a visitor we are delighted to see, whether we are sick or well. Good-morning, sir!

"No doubt they will," said Grandma Elsie, "both as Christians and as warm friends of Evelyn.
She is warm-hearted, energetic, very generous, and remarkably straight-forward, truthful, and honest." Dr. Conly had risen, as if to take leave. "Now, cousin Arthur," said Zoe, "please sit down again; for we cannot let you leave us till after tea." Edward seconded the invitation. "Thank you both," Arthur said, "but" "But no buts," interrupted Zoe gayly.
Lulu had only driven past Woodburn several times; but Max had been taken there once by Dr. Conly, with whom he was almost as great a favorite as his sister Grace, and had seen not only the grounds, but one or two rooms of the mansion. Lulu was eager to hear all he had to tell about the place, and he not at all averse to describing what he had seen.
Oftentimes they were all there, but occasionally one of the grandparents or the mother would be away at Roselands for a day or two, taking turns in ministering to Mrs. Conly, and comforting and cheering her feeble old father.
"Another telegram!" he cried, and both brothers dashed out upon the veranda. This was directed to Calhoun, sent from Philadelphia by their uncle Edward Allison. He and Adelaide would be with Mrs. Conly in two hours, telegraph at once in what condition they found her, and if practicable start with her immediately for her home.
