ee THRICE WEDDED. a B Saree expectation upon his face, walked quickly toward the open door. - : ~~ He was a bright and active-appearing youth, with a full, ~ yound face, whose frank, open expression won you at once. His eyes were a fine hazel, large and full. His forehead, as he lifted his hat and ran his fingers through the clustering rings of chestnut hair that crowned his head, shone white and fair as polished marble, and was broad and high. His nose was straight and rather thin for the rest of his face, while his mouth was small but very pleasant in its expres- sion, though there were certain lines about in that indicated firmness and a will of his own. He was manly in form and bearing, and there was a look of conscious pride upon his beaming face as he glanced complacently back at the handsome equipage at the gate, _ while the silver tinkle of a bell gave back an answering echo to his touch. - “Oh, mamma, Robbie has come at last.” And a bright’ little elf sprang dancing into the hall, and instantly a pair of chubby arms were around Robbie’s neck, and a hearty smack testified to the warmth of his recep- tion. She was just the sweetest little bit of sunshine ever caught and imprisoned in human form. A little round rosy face, all smiles and dimples; a pair of laughing blue eyes that danced und sparkled every minute in the day with fun and mischief. A pug nose and a rosebud mouth, always ready e _ to give and take the sweetest kisses, as she had already proved. Her hair hung in curls around her plump cheeks, -and was a sort of yellowish brown—not at all red, reader, » . but the brightest and richest auburn you ever saw. : Her figure was short and plump, while her little skipping ‘ : _ fairy feet. seemed almost too tiny to hold up so much pre- he ~ elous flesh and blood. “Qh, Robbie!” she said, almost breathless with delight and _ anticipation. ‘‘I thought you never, never, never would come; and mamma has coaxed and scolded to get me from _____the window, watching for you. She says its so unbecoming _ and unladylike to be so impatient; but I couldn’t help it, it’s _ solong since I hada ride. How nice the old pony looks, __ doesn’t he? and o-oh! you’ve had the buggy newly painted, too. What a grand time we will have! Come, I can’t wait | 2 any longer,” - comicbooks
