Slowly, a little reluctantly, Mr. Bee-
verie's love makes' ber progress to the
house, She tries to believe she is in
mini haste to tell her tale, yet welcomee
g.adly any delay that kindly nature
otters her. Here she stops beside a
tlowenbed to pluck a glowing "Anna

she stoops to lift a tiny beetle crossing
the gravelled pathway, and, laying it
tenderly upon the scented grass, speeds
it kindly homewards.

vices of hers to lengthen out her road
and ward off for a season the impending
