"Just at the moment my suntis rather unapproschable. Will you leave it. at least till Ihsvo some progress to report?"

"But it has been worth while," said Manning warmly. "They adore her. I saw her with them at the camp on Blindny night."

"Do you think any of them guessed? ')id you see Ruth Vidal?" asked Mrs. Treelund in an awestricken voice.

“I sow Miss Vidal. I'm sure I don't know whether any of them guessed, but they will all know soon enough. I want to marry Mary noon, Mrs. Freeland, and we have agreed that we shall have no fuss: that it must be as quiet as possible.
