Accordingly, the whole company streamed out across the lawn Charlotte and Doctor Churchill, Celia, her pretty blond head shining in the October sunlight, Lanse and Jeff and Just, three stalwart fellows, ranging in ages from twenty-six to sixteen, Mr. and Mrs. Birch, the happy possessors of this happy clan.

"Did the five and a half miles in precisely twenty minutes," said Doctor Forester, as he came up the steps, watch in hand; "slow speed within limits and all. Lanse, my boy, this is too bad. Doctor Churchill very glad to see you again. Decided to settle out here, eh? Well, on some accounts I think you're wise. Charlotte, little girl, cheer up!

Lanse had chosen the most familiar of the old music, everybody did his and her best, and Captain Rayburn's flute, exquisitely played, did indeed "help out." Celia, her cheeks very pink, worked away until Doctor Churchill gently took her violin from her, but after that the music still went very well. "Good! good!" applauded Doctor Forester.

"Christopher Columbus! discovered America in 1492!" ejaculated Jefferson, an expression of great delight irradiating his countenance. Then he looked at his uncle with an air of superior wisdom. "Now she'll cry," he said. "I shouldn't wonder if she did," agreed the captain, nodding. Lanse stood in the kitchen door, lunch-pail in hand.

Although it's been so hot, nobody has been idle a minute. I've been fishing all day with Lanse and Fred and Celia. Andy, do you know what I think? I admit I didn't think it till Lanse put it into my head, but I believe he's right. Fred " "Is going to want Celia? Of course. That was a foregone conclusion from the start."

He's made Celia as comfortable as he can, but wants our regular doctor here, he says, before he does up her knee. I don't see why. I wanted him to fix it himself." "That's all right," said Lanse. "Doctors always do that kind of thing the honourable ones do. It's better to have Doctor Forester see it, too. Did you get him? Will he be here right off?" "The doctor got him. He'll be here soon."

Then you certainly must let me do my part." But Charlotte shook her head obstinately. "I'm going to fight it through myself. I'd rather. You've enough to do writing letters." When Lanse came into Celia's room that evening, his first words were merry. "What I'm anxious to know," he said, "is what you did with your rice pudding.

The face matched the body: it was fresh-coloured and finely molded; and nobody who looked at it and into the clear gray eyes of Andrew Churchill could fail to recognise the man behind. Lanse, who was nearest, shook hands warmly. "It seems good to see you, old fellow," he said, heartily.

Upon Just devolved the task of heading Jeff off for those prospective two weeks. "Besides, I've an idea Lanse may prefer July or August." "If you'd been boning for examinations the way I have," retorted Jeff, "your one idea would be to get off into the wilderness just as soon as your sheepskin was fairly in your hands. I don't see why you argue against going in June.

"I am too much occupied in observing the guests. It strikes me that nowhere, either in New Mexico or Colorado, did I see any people approaching those before me in interest and attractiveness. Except one," he amended, as a general laugh greeted this extraordinary statement, "and even she never seemed to me quite so " He hesitated. "Say it, sir!" cried Lanse. "We're with you whatever it is.
