Silently the presiding officer accepted the paper, inspected it, then passed it over to the members of the court.
A minute later a sleigh like their own swung round the corner it was full of boys. Their driver slowed down to give McDonald the right of way. "Why, it must be the Seddon Hall girls," they heard one of the boys shout. "Let's give them a cheer, fellows!" "What school is it?" Miss Crosby asked. "Do you know, Lois!" "Perhaps it's the Military Academy," Angela suggested.

Seddon, and her thirteen-year-old daughter, Jane, which was comforting and stimulating. Jane, a lanky, fair, blue-eyed girl, who gave promise of good looks, attended to his modest wants with a zeal somewhat out of proportion to the payment received. Paul had the novel sensation of finding some one at his beck and call. He beckoned and called often, for the sheer pleasure of it.
The two weeks after the exhibition had been taken up by final examinations an anxious time for the graduating class. Seddon Hall kept up a high standard and no girl could receive a diploma unless her marks showed a high average. When the papers were all corrected, a notice was posted on the bulletin board of the girls who had failed. Betty called it the black list.

Seddon was the first of her friends who saw her. He was standing inside the mess-house. He went hurriedly forward and gave her brief details of the fight. Then, while they were talking, Derrick himself came running up. He greeted her with less of his boyish effusion than was customary. "How is the Secret Service man?" he asked abruptly of Seddon.

Nothing very eventful had happened in either one of their lives, during the past years. They had spent their Winters at Seddon Hall and their vacations at Polly's old home in New England with Mrs. Farwell.
What news?" sang out a curly-haired subaltern on the steps of the club, a newly-erected, wooden bungalow of which the little Frontier station was immensely proud. "You're looking infernally serious. What's the matter?" Dr. Seddon rolled stoutly off his steaming pony and went to join his questioner.
Died here at 1 A.M. Mary Jane, my own beloved wife, aged thirty-eight years. May God and Jesus, Holy Ghost, one in three, welcome Minnie! Prayer on prayer till mine be o'er; everlasting love. Save us, Lord, for Thy dear Son! Against the mean murders of Flanagan and Higgins I will set you Mr Seddon and Mr Smith of the ``brides in the bath.
