ot a woman to let her translation
lack color, even though the original wanted it.

When the man had done so, "Yes," sighed Kitty, "it all happened that day
of the Montgomery expedition; but I never knew, before, of what he had
done for me. Fanny," she cried, with a great sob, "may be I'm the one
who has been cruel? But what happened yesterday makes his having saved
my life seem such a very little matter."

"Nothing at all!" answered Fanny, "less than nothing!" But her heart

The little cooper had bowed himself away, and was climbing the hill, Mr.
Arbuton's coat-skirts striking his heels as he walked.

"What letters are those?" asked Fanny.

"O, old letters to Mr. Arbuton, which he found in the pocket. I suppose
he thought I would give them to him."

"But how are you going to do it?"

"I ought to send them to him," answered Kitty. Then, after a silence
that lasted till they reached the boat, she handed the letters to Fanny.
"Dick may send them," she said.
