cards with a searching anxious almost beseeching glenm in her eye that startled hiiri She drop ped her eyes quickly as he looked up That girls in some trouble was- hhis quick thought But what is she looking at me for The next morning they were seated on the grass under the shade of a large oak He had been teaching her mumblepeg but she had wearied of the game and now leaned almost in silence against the tree at her back Stevens was waiting He was a quick reader 6f rom mid of some slomen and lie had foreseen for the last liajfhour of their idling that she was nerving herself for some dis tasteful effort At last it came Are you going to pardon that than she asked abruptly Stevens straightened up in sur prise So that was it Was every body to take a hand in this thing I rather think not he answered her slowly But I dont know They are pressing me very hard It seems they all want it It ought not to be done kNot all she protested There are some women whoT she broke J Jt1 J off a sudden
