know  that  he  had  come  in  just  after
                                     Wilifred.

                                        41  I  have  a  plan  for  Peggy,”  be  said,

                                     turning  to  Dr.  Moran,  and  mopping  his

                                     forehead,  for  he  had  been  much  over­
                                     come  at  Peggy’s  faintness,           14  I  mean  to

                                     take  her  to  my  grandmother,  who  lives

                                     on  a  farm,  and  will  at  least  be  kind  to

                                     her,    I  shall  manage  to  take  care  of
                                     the  child  somehow,  for  she  sh an ’t  go

                                     back  to  Mrs.  Bagley.”

                                        “ Well,  she  isn't  fit  to  go  anywhere
                                     to-night/’  said  the  Doctor  composedly.

                                         He  took  Wilifred  on  one  knee,  and

                                     pulled  Peggy  upon  the  other,  saying,  as

                                     he  kissed first one child!s  cheek and  then

                                     the  other’s,  “  I t ’s  rather  a  pity,  Mr.  Bo-
                                     lander,  to  separate  twin  sisters*           I  told

                                     Mrs,  Moran  that  when  this  pair  were

                                     babies:  I  really  haven’t  the  heart  to
                                     do  it  again.”
