The trouble was that she said it as she misht have paid. "Cecily, have you drowned the blind mans dog in the drinking water? Cecily shook her hend. "Nope." She tried to he hard about it. "Hot 1. iot us. Ann sat down on the bed nnd sighed unrestrainedly. "You haven't known him nearly long enough," she tried to explain. "Says yon?" Cecily gnve It up; she couldn't be swnggerish with Ann tonight. "But but. nnirel, he loves me. He told me so this eve ning." "Well," said Ann. "Well, what?" Cecily peeked into the mirror at herself in her pink pajamas and, smiling, came to sit on the bed beside Ann. "Do yon love him. really?" Ann asked, and got up and went to take Cecily's bathrobe from the closet door. Here, put this on, honey. It's chilly in here." Obediently Cecily covered the pretty pink things with the dingy old robe and said. "Thank you," nnd added, i thought you knew, in answer to Ann s question. Ann asked, as if it were Imnor tant, "But does he know that you love himr "He does if he believes me. I told him so, almost the instant he told me. I fairly took the words out of bis mouth. Ann did not smile. "But but didn't he ask you to marry him. then, Cissy?" fc Cecily tossed back her head and laughed. "Angel! You're so sweet and so funny, nnd you don't know it. Yes, dear, he naked your sister, and made an honest woman of her and everything." "WolK Clssv I must snv!" "No, -Ann, he was just right and adorable. But I didn't want to be engaged for a while. So I haven't breathed the answer soft "and low as yet." "Cecily." Ann declared, and cm- phasijed her word with emphatic nods or her head, "you are so wise. You are so wise. I had no idea that you w-eri so wise." (To Be Continued) 1 Ful. V i n . tHM,. j. r "- leaving meir ."lee. No. Iia .,. . ..1 ,1 .: wnetner tney nan wicks OffK. nnd h., flk, but she had never ' ,?,!.""
