I shall wait for you until four o'clock. But let me not wait in vain.—P. R.",Doctor Allworth, after one startled look at the ferocious-looking newcomer, had climbed upon the table and now gazed wildly at the strange sight of a golden haired girl holding to her bosom a wild animal which might be anything from a wolf to a grizzly, for aught he knew.,"What! kiss the Australian?
