The most energeUc of the three Is Maggie, the eldest, who, tired of being "nagged" under parental roof, tarts a domestic rebellion. Maggie withal 1s a kind of leap-year heroine.; After discovering that a sort of simple-minded "shoehand" Is a genius at ' his trade, she proposes to him, and. regardless of the fact that he Is ready "took" by anothe ' about to be married, Magg tils plana, gets a wedding takes him orf to the church and they get married.
