If you want an explanation of that you can ask--" Here Mrs. Dallas paused with a strange smile and added slowly: "Major Jen."，"And you will let me know?"，"Shall I write to her?" asks Mona, gently. "Say what you wish done."，Mona, who has blushed rosy red at his kiss, is now beaming on her lover, and has drawn back her skirts to admit of his coming a little closer to her.
