The little girl rose startled, but her
breeding was too flue for betrayal, and1(1
She went to hlin with hand out
stretched. The boy took It as he had
taken her father's, litply and with
out rising. The father frowned and
aulled}-,-how could ,the lad have
learned manners?. And then he, too,
saw the hole in the moccasin, through
whlch the bleeding huid started ugaliu.

And froi his window the little Ken
tueki nl saw the coipany coming up
the path, brave with gay clothes and
smniles and gallantries. The colonel
walked with ia grand hily at the head,
behilid were the belles aind beaux, and
bringing up the rear was Iliariba, es
corted by a youth of his own age, who
carried his hat under his ari aud
bore hiiself as haughtily as his
elders. No sooner did he see thei
mounting to the porch than there was
the sound of a horn in the rear, iand
looking out of the other window the
lad saw a conch and four dash
through the gate and swing around
the rond that encircled the great trees,
ani up to the rear porti'o, where
there was a joyous eiuinnor of greet
ings. Where (d ill those people
