"Jamie you said you wouldn't tell," cried Hepsie, and then she burst into tears. These were her childish secrets, and she did not like them told, not even in her own home. The mother heard the children talk on among themselves, but she made co comment, wise woman indeed, yet deep down in her heart a thought, a hope was lurking, that some day Hepsie might be all her grandpa had promised on the day of her birth. lhe evening wa3 passed in talking over the affair uppermost in the minds of all the family; Ilepsie's going away again to another school; and each one had something to say before part ing fox the eight or some advice to give; and many plans were laid for the morrow.
