"Hhe will now," Nan replied—and
was gone. Jim didn't wall, until

Jim examined the tremblingly of-
fered picture. It waa Vlolat, seated
upon a garden bench on Nan's lawn.
Her head rested upon the ahnulder of
Nan'a brother—his arm entwined
abont her.
"Nan napped the thing," Vlolat
tearfully explained. "I really couldn't
halp It, Jlmmle. There wag I, on
the bench at Nan'a lawn party, when
her brother dropped bealde me, and he
