"Who's that?" she asked suddenly

"Who'sthat?" she asked suddenly, as her eye fell on Christie, whoairjordan 8 ls sat watching her with interest:"That is our good friend MissDevon. She came to take your place, and we got so fond of her wecould not let her go," answered David with a gesture ofintroduction, quite unconscious that his position just then was aboutas safe and pleasant as that of a man between a lighted candle and anopen powder airjordan 7 hare barrel.

Thetwo young women nodded to each other, took a swift survey, and madeup their minds before David had poked the fire. Christie saw a prettyface with rosy cheeks, blue eyes, and brown rings of hair lying onthe smooth, low forehead; a young face, but not childlike, for it wasconscious of its own prettiness, andairjordan 7 pack betrayed the fact by little airs and graces that reminded one of acoquettish kitten. Short and slender, she looked more youthful thanshe was; while a gay dress, with gilt ear-rings, locket at thethroat, and a cherry ribbon in her hair made her a brightairjordan 10 x little figure in that plain room.

Christiesuddenly felt as if ten years had been added to her age, as she eyedthe new-comer, who leaned back in the great chair talking to David,who stood on the rug, evidently finding it pleasanter to look at thevivacious face before him than at theairmax shoes fire.

"Justthe pretty, lively sort of girl sensible men often marry, and thendiscover how silly they are," thought Christie, taking up herwork and assuming an indifferent air.

"She'sa lady and nicekidsair jordans looking, but I know I shan't like her," was Kitty's decision, asshe turned away and devoted herself to David, hoping he wouldperceive how much she had improved and admire her accordingly.

"Soyou don't want to marry this Miles because he is not handsome. You'dbetter think again before you make up your mind. He is respectable,well off, and kidsjordans fondof you, it seems. Why not try it, Kitty? You need some one to takecare of you sadly," David said, when her story had been told.

"Iffather plagues me much I may take the man; but I'd rather have theother one if he wasn't poor," answered Kitty with a side-longglance of the blue eyes, and a kidsjordan shoes conscioussmile on the red lips.

"Oh,there's another lover, is there?"

"Lotsof 'em."

Davidlaughed and looked at Christie as if inviting her to be airjordan shoes amusedwith the freaks and prattle of a child. But Christie sewed awaywithout a sign of interest.

"Thatwon't do, Kitty: you are too young for much of such nonsense. I shallkeep you here a while, and see if we can't settle matters both wiselyand pleasantly," he said, shaking his head as sagelyuggsale as a grandfather.

"I'msure I wish you would: I love to stay here, you are always so good tome. I'm in no hurry to be married; and you won't make me: will you?"

Kittyrose as she spoke, and stood before him with a beseeching littlegesture, and a kidsjordans shoes confidingair quite captivating to behold.
