Already a power to be accounted with in national politics, he was "really a tremendous success," and sure to go far; "one of those delicate-looking men, who are yet so strong you know they won't let the lightning hurt you." He must meet Mr. Macauley, too, the most interesting man in Rouen. After her little portrait of him, didn't Mr.

Miss Hempstead asked to be allowed to sit beside the driver, but Macauley vowed that on the first long run of his new machine he himself should occupy that post of honour and interest. "Coming back, then," insisted the girl, and Macauley agreed reluctantly.

"You look blamed pleased over your job," growled Macauley. "I like the job all right," admitted Burns; "particularly when contrasted with " "You wouldn't say it if you'd caught one glimpse of Mrs. L." called back Chester, as the Imp responded somewhat erratically to Macauley's unaccustomed touch.

"I didn't expect it," she said to James Macauley, her husband. "Oh, Red's game. He won't run away from this, much as he hates it.

She'll want to get him everything a child could have. But Red won't let her." "He won't know. He'll drop them at a store and go off to the hospital.

"You're all to come in and have an ice-cool, salad-y supper with us," Mrs. Macauley declared as the car turned in at the home driveway.
