De Burgh like?" asked Katherine, amused by the boy's earnestness. "Like the wicked uncle in the 'Babes in the Wood. Auntie gave it to me. Such a beautiful picture book!"

"But I have no uncle only auntie," returned Cis.
Kukor's daughter, for "Mama!" cried the young mother; and as they met just in front of Johnnie there was an explosive outburst of talk in a strange tongue, and much of what Johnnie afterwards described to Cis as "double kissin'," that is, a kissing on both cheeks, the baby coming in for his share and weeping over it forlornly. Greeting done, Mrs. Kukor introduced Johnnie.

"That'll do!" warned Big Tom. He had found the pipe, and now came a step nearer to her. "Y'd better keep y'r mouth shut, young lady!" "Don't talk, Cis! Don't!" begged Johnnie, half whispering. "I will talk!" she declared.
"It taks aw soarts to mak a worrld," as they say up here. But Marsworth and Cis are queer specimens! I am privately certain he can't do for long without seeing her. And as for her, I had no sooner arranged that he should join me here to-night, than she telegraphed to you! Just like her! I had no idea she thought of coming.
I marvel not at thee, my maid, but thou and thy mother queen must bear in mind that while thou passest for our daughter, and hast trust placed in thee, thou must do nothing to forfeit it or bring thy fa , Master Richard I mean, into trouble." "I meant no harm," said Cis; rather crossly. "Thou didst not, but harm may be done by such as mean it the least."
