BOB YOUNGER’S FATE. 89 “Oh, yes; I have been here a long time, and my mistress treats me well.’? “What is her name?’’ “Miss Trainer.” | SNe OLS C77 aaa ts re ‘*Handsome?’’ It would be difficult to describe Katrina’s expres- sion at this question. ‘A wonderfully pretty woman. I never saw one like her.”’ ‘“Does she have much company 2” “A great deal; and how they all enjoy themselves with their games!” ‘‘Has she a notion of getting married ?’’ “It doesn’t seem so, although she has a great many admirers.”’ “Who seem to be favorites with her?’’ and the heart of the questioner began to beat a trifle faster. “That is hard for me to tell, as I was never pres- ent at any of their frivolities, but I have heard the other servants talk, and they seem to think that two men who are mostly always together seem to have the preference.’’ “Don’t you remember their names?’’ “No; I never thought enough about them, and I know my mistress wouldn’t have me discuss her private affairs. If she heard of such a thing I wouldn’t get to stay here long.’’ ‘All right, then; we won’t talk about her. Who was that pretty girl who was watching us to-day ?”’ Katrina felt piqued at the praise bestowed upon a fellow servant, and quickly changed the subject, coming back of her own accord to her mistress. comicbooks
