If  he  only  were  dressed  in  such  s mar t

                                        suits  as  the  other  boys  wore,  she  was
                                        sure he  would look verv handsome ;  and
                                                                                      J
                                                                      j

                                        new mackintosh.  Peggy  was  as  pleased

                                        as il  it had  been  a new dress for herself.
                                         When  the  examinations  came  off,  the

                                        little  girl's  anxiety  equalled  his  own.

                                        How  could  he  help  loving  her, even  if
                                        she  were  but  a  little  servant,  and  not

                                        always  over  clean ?
                                           But  Mr.  Uolander  was  destined  to

                                        make  other  friends  than  Peggy.  The
                                        first of these was  Randolph, the  elder  of

                                        Ur.  Moran’s two sons.
                                            Randolph  was  to  enter  college  the

                                        following  fall,  and  hoped  that  he  was
                                        qualified  to  enter  the  second  year,  in

                                        which  case  he  would  be  a  classmate  of

                                        Bolander’s.  It  was  upon  his  first  visit
