him up; an'I, throwing him over her
shoulder she pate hie back violently,
which process oppareutly has it

"Like me," says Sir Maurice, star-
ing at the weird] eyes gazing over
the nurse's broad Intek with an old,
elfish expression, "You have never

important day; for baby has been
"shortened," and such n change in

A fair amount of baby worship is
going on. Gipsy, In a white dress
and crimson ribbons, her face one

For tome- unknown rea•,on, Mrs.
Bryan h(1s always boon peculiarly
graelons to Gipsy—perhaps because so
nano others were down ou her. Mrs.
Bryon, out of opposition, las always
stood up for Sir Maumee Ilermat's

,.And 1 (am very happy," Gipsy re.

The old lady looks at herder a min-

"Perhaps some trouble," suggests
Gipsy softly, thinking hos hued poor

"My dear," says Mrs- Bryan, 1101
as if speaking to Gipsy, but an if
her 1lIooghts were very, far away,
"it erns the neral, bitter tongues of
others that soured me, the miserable
ill-natart of my fellow -creatures'";
and, turning suddenly to face Gipsy's

out: "Never have to 100001 from
