the circumstances in which I met him, and the association with him since,

be proud if Mickey liked him and would consider being friends with him. He
is absolutely trustworthy, that I know."

Mickey, cheered in mind and heart, had walked ahead briskly with his

take Lily to the country for a week, and consult with her as to what the
effect of the trip might be, and what he could do with her afterward, then
he would understand better.
