in tew poeplo 6ay anything nice about
me. '
"WcJ'; !t was something nice, and
vet I felt as if I could have knocked
im down for It," he added jdoemlly.
I pulled ut hi hand.
"Well tell mc nnjwaj '."
H told me reluctantly.
"He said that -ou were the most
attractive little girl he had ever met."
"What! Oh, Mnrk, he didn't, net
really!"
"He did confound him:"
I drew a long breath of delight.
"Nobody has ever said a thing like
"hat about inc before."
He gave a jealous growl.
"Yeu seem uncommonly pleased about
'Plcuscd.' Whv. of ceur.se, I'm
n'eased." I ald. "Wouldn't you be.
If you'd always been looked upon as
the ugly duckling of the family? If
eu'd never had a single nice thing
said about you in your life? Net that
le could really and truly have meant
It," I added disconsolately.
There was a little silence then.
"Well. I'll be off," Mark said stiffly.
"Geid night."
"Ob, geed night." I answered, though
hire was a nameless fear in my heart
et tomorrow should be a repetition of j
tbere ether daj- dur.ug which I had
uuited and vu'clu 1 for him In vain , I
that the Usco and htppincss of this
light had be-Mi iv .-uen tv last; that
a voi-ec dlsillusdeumint awaited roe!
and In unreasoning fear I caught his
arm as he turned nwaj. I
"Yeu meant it when you caid jeu, PETEY Thf Hptirtlpii Orrtnnnr-
loved me, didn't you?" I asked in rEil&l I lie IJCaruCbb lUipper
diamed desperation, "leu went etayl
away tomorrow and leave me wondering I
hat I have done te make you angry?,
leu won't be horrid any mere?"
Mark came back. He put his arms
round roe. but quite gently this time,
and, bending, kissed rae once a long
kisj. I
I shall love yen all my life There'll I
never be another woman I shall leve
as I love juu," he said.
