Meantime, awaiting a decl- slon on some of his applications, he had a dull time of it in Scottboro. Mr. White had put his foot down firm- ly, forbade him the house, and Eloise was a dutiful daughter. ‘She had met her lover just once since her father had dismissed him from his service. “It is the last time, Ned,” she said, j like the brave, sensible little woman she was. “Until I am of age I shall feel that I belong to papa.
