Excerptgood times they had had at Locust, and in answer to Dora's timid questions explained why Lloyd was called The Little Colonel and the Princess Winsome and the Queen of Hearts and Hildegarde, and all the other titles her different friends had showered upon her."She must have been born with a gold spoon in her mouth, to be so lucky," sighed Dora, presently. "Life has been all roses for her, and no thorns whatever.""No, indeed!" answered Betty, quickly. "She had a dreadful disappointment last year. She was taken sick during the Christmas vacation, and had to stay out of school all last term. It nearly broke her heart to drop behind her class, and she still grieves over it every day. The doctors forbade her taking extra work to catch up with it. Then so much is expected of an only child like her, who has had so many advantages, and it is no easy matter living up to all the expectations of a family like the old Colonel's."Betty's back was turned to the terraces, but Dora, who faced them, ha

The Little Colonel is back, and thistime she's a maid of honor. Her friend Eugenia is getting married, and thewhole wedding party has come to stay at Lloyd's house.

Excerpt from The Little Colonel, Maid of HonorWhether she was a genius or not, one thing is certain, she spent hours of patient, painstaking work to make her writing measure up to the stand ard she had set for it. It was work that she loved better than play, however, and to - day she sighed regretfully when the hunter's horn, blowing on the upper terrace, summoned the school to its outdoor sports.Instantly, in answer to the winding call, the whole place began to awaken.
