Again Denzll giggled. “Mighty 'frald he’ll never be a bishop then,” she gurgled; “Don’t scripture tell of a Joseph whose coat had many colors? Somehow' I think it’s risky to give « boy that .name.” • —-—' , “If you persist in such sacrilege I shall not stay to hear you,” Mrs. Mar vin said with dignity, turning toward the piazza. But the paying gueots stood fast, plying Denzll with ques tions, dropping inuendos as to the why and wherefore of the petticooted pro fessor, hut getting v-Httle for their pains. Denzil had seen her—no—she didn’t like her—the cerature had a beard—at least her. face looked shaved. Go to iler school? No, thank you—she had learned to dance before she was five—as fur the shimmy— well, it might please some people- hut she was not of that sort. After she had ridden off. Mrs. Loton re flectively: “Wild as she may he Denzll is a lady top. to toe.

He left that night, saying mysteriously: “rii come back and trouble tilings some more soon." But nobody thought, anything of the saying—mainly because ' only Denzil heard it.
