Maynard as it was that awful sense of desolation, as if the world had come to an end. At one moment she would think she missed King the most; then with the thought of her father, a rush of tears would come; and then her poor little tortured heart would cry out, "Oh, Mother, Mother!"

"It's he!" replied the girl, shuddering; "wait!" "He" was the unfortunate invalid, who was passing down the hallway upon the arm of Lieutenant Maynard; Helen shook her head at all her aunt's laughing protests, and could not be induced to leave the room until the two had passed on; then she ran down, and leaving the house by another door, sprang into the carriage with Mr.

Across the car was a little girl who seemed to be about her own age, and Marjorie greatly wished that they might become acquainted. Mrs. Maynard said that after luncheon she might go and speak to the little stranger if she chose, and Marjorie gladly did so. "I wonder if you belong in my car," said Marjorie, by way of opening the conversation.

But Miss Helen Maynard had been only obscured and not extinguished. At the first outbreak of hostilities a few Americans had still kept giddy state among the ruins of the tottering empire. A day or two after she left the Rue de Frivole she was invited by one of her wealthy former schoolmates to assist with her voice and talent at one of their extravagant entertainments.

"Who?" said Kitty, drowsily, rubbing her eyes, as she sat up. "Oh, Mops! you caught me! Merry Christmas, yourself! Let's go and catch King!"

She never walks out of second-story windows when she's at our house. I guess I'd better take her back there." "Not to-morrow," said Kitty. "Wait till next day, won't you, Uncle Steve?" "All right; day after to-morrow, then. But we mustn't stay away from Grandma longer than that." "And now I think our adventurous little explorer must go back to her dreams," said Mrs. Maynard.

She must go away from him, away from Sir Christopher, and Lady Cheverel, and Maynard, and everybody who had been kind to her, and thought her good while she was so wicked. Some of Mrs.
