Heretofore you have considered yourself as a decently well appointed gentleman of the woods.

After a brief moment the young man in the real Harvard hat-band rose restlessly and, with a nod to Kinney, went below.

'Funny little devil she is, he said contemplatively. 'Women are odd, however you take 'em; but she's odder than odd. By God, sir, she's odder than Dick's hat-band! I suppose she wants me to believe that she's forgotten how I bowled her out years ago. Soul! Heart 'It was before she got married.

Nearly every time he came he had a little bunch stuck under his hat-band. A few she put in her hair, along with the chiffon bow.

"I should like to know what this is for?" demanded Thorny, in a dignified tone, presenting a black tie. "For my other boy.

"Well, I like that " began Thorny, in a tone that contradicted his words.

Reddy and I were alone at the Lake beds. He sat outside the cabin, braiding a leather hat-band eight strands, and the "repeat" figure an art that I never could master.

The discussion thus begun by friends was soon taken up by the sewing societies and church gatherings, one member in good standing remarking loud enough to be heard by everybody: "As for me, I ain't never surprised at nothin' Jane Cobden does.
