be an
excellent idea, don't you agree with me, Benjamin? Charley could never
find anybody whom he would like better, and then we should keep
Eyebright with us always."

Mr. Joyce roared with laughter.

"She's only fifteen and Charley won't be seventeen till next
Saturday," he said. "Don't you think you'd better put off your castles
in the air till they are both a little older, Mother?"

Such castles are absurd; still it is by no means impossible that this
may come to pass, and if it should happen to do so, I fancy Mr. Joyce
will be as much pleased as "Mother," every whit.

THE END.

stories that each girl would like to act out in reality.--_The
