"Well, yes. Miss Dallas," returned he, with much deliberation. "I am' satisfied, for the time being." "I'll show you when Monday comes!" she exulted, stepping lightly out into the frosty night. "You'll see if it isn't worth while." Slowly I unbuttoned that black dress that symbolised the ending of six years of the blackness, and the rosy dimpling thing in snowy lingerie with tags of blue ribbon that stood in front of my mirror was as new-born as any other hour-old similar bundle of linen and lace in Hillsboro. Fortunately, an old white lawn dress could be pulled from the top shelf of the cupboard in a hurry, and the Molly that came out of that room was ready for life—and a lot of it..

"My dear young lady," replied the man, blandly, "I must look at you when I address you." For a whole week after the events already related, nothing new took place likely to alter the situation.

But you scratch de skin with one leetle bit of it, and you die, die, die!".
