So they almost forgot about Hanny, or thought her with the others. And now she came walking slowly down to them with a strange young man. "Why, who can it be?" in a tone of surprised inquiry. Daisy Jasper studied a moment. "Why, it looks like--no, it cannot be--yes, it is Mr. Andersen." "I thought he was in Germany." Daisy looked puzzled. Then she sprang up with a quick colour and a smile of pleasure, stretching out both hands. "Oh, Miss Jasper!" and Mr. Andersen took her hands in a fervent clasp. "Do you know this is going to be a red-letter day in my life,--one of the happiest of days? Your mother sent me up here on a venture. First, I found Miss Underhill, and now you.

Then they went out to the southern entrance, and so along to the gateway. Yes, there was Mr. Underhill. He would take the four girls, and one more, as he had a team. This was decided to be Mr. Andersen, as he was to go to the Jaspers' to tea. The others would ride down in the stage. The doctor said he must make a few calls. Mr. Beekman expressed his intention of coming up in the evening, as Miss Odell was going to stay; and Miss Odell's eyes shone with delight. Daisy having a lover! Dr. Underhill had not felt alarmed about Jim's attentions, he had so many fancies. But this young man--
