CHAPTER VI.
LITTLE KATY'S LOVER.
Katy was fifteen and a half, according to the family Bible.

Katy was a woman grown in the depth and tenderness of her feeling.

But Katy wasn't twelve years of age, if measured by the development of her discretionary powers.

The phenomenon of a girl in intellect with a woman's passion is not an uncommon one.

Such girls are always attractive--feeling in woman goes for so much more than thought.
