It was hoped that we might recapture Colonel Tennant, who was in command of the Royal Flying Corps forces in Mesopotamia. He had been shot down at Khan Baghdadi the day before the attack. We learned from prisoners that he had been sent up-stream immediately, on his way to Aleppo, but it was thought that he might have been held over at Haditha or at Ana.

I can't go like this, all untidy, and my hair so messy, and my collar oh, mother, it is nearly black! It is really too trying." "I will go up and see if I can persuade her," said Mrs. Tennant. She went upstairs, turned the handle of the door, and spoke. The moment her voice penetrated to Kathleen's ears, she jumped to her feet, crossed the room, and bent down at the other side of the keyhole.

Tennant was smiling and looking just as usual, and the boys were as fond of Kathleen as was their wont. She had completely won their immature masculine hearts, and they invariably sat one on each side of her at meals, helped her to the best the table contained, and fussed over her in a way that pleased her young majesty. Kathleen was very glad that morning to get the boys' attention.

And there was a thick albert chain made of solid silver for Ben, and a keyless silver watch for David; and what could boys possibly want more? Kathleen had remembered all her friends, and Aunt Katie O'Flynn was more than willing to carry out her request. Finally, at the very bottom of the trunk was a little parcel which she refrained from opening while Mrs. Tennant was present.

"Well " He choked, and a rich blush permeated his surface. "Well, it seems a silly thing to say and all that, but I'm in love with Miss Tennant, you know!" "You are in love with Celia Tennant?" "Of course I am. I've got eyes, haven't I? Who else is there that any sane man could possibly be in love with? That," he went on, moodily, "is the whole trouble.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Tennant," he said simply, "that you should have seen our worst side so soon after your arrival. You you must try and pardon it " "Oh, please, please don't apologize," broke in Sara hastily. "I'm so sorry I happened to be there just then. It was horrible for you." He smiled at her wistfully. "It's very kind of you to take it like that," he said.

Aunt Katie O'Flynn is a woman who has real taste, and I know she is going to dress me up as no other girl ever was dressed before in the Great Shirley School." Mrs. Tennant could not help laughing. The boys were also in the highest good-humor; Kathleen's mirth was contagious.

"I am Alice Tennant," said the young girl, "and I have come at Miss Ravenscroft's request to see her." "Oh yes, miss, certainly. She said she was expecting two young ladies." "Well, I am one of them. Can you let her know?" "Step in here, miss." Alice was shown into a small waiting-room. A moment later the servant returned. "Will you follow me, miss?" she said.

"When I see you beginning to help your poor, exhausted mother, and running messages for that overworked slavey I think you call her Maria then perhaps I'll do less. And when there's some one else to mend the boys' socks, perhaps I won't offer; but until there is, the less you say about such things the better, Miss Alice Tennant."

Alice Tennant and Cassandra are great friends." "But I don't like either of them," said Kathleen in her blunt way. Mrs. Weldon looked a little startled. "Do you know my daughter?" she asked. "She is much too interfering, and she is frightfully stuck-up. Please forgive me, but I am always very plain-spoken; I always tell the truth. I don't want her.
