MISS PANNEY HAS TEETH ENOUGH LEFT TO BITE WITH After her recent quick pull and strong pull, Miss Panney rested placidly on her oars.

She knew that Miriam had gone, but she had not yet heard whether the Dranes had returned to their former lodging in Thorbury, or had left the neighborhood altogether.

She presumed, however, that they were in the town; for the young woman's work for Dr.
Tolbridge was probably not completed.

She intended to call on Mrs.
Brinkly and find out about this; and she also determined to drop in at Cobhurst, and see how poor Ralph was getting on by himself.

But for these things there was no hurry.
But jogging into town one morning, she was amazed to meet Ralph and Mrs.
Drane returning to Cobhurst in the gig.
