Amarilly turned pale but said nothing for a moment. Then she held out

"I will study hard--to pay you," she said simply.

"And can you stand another piece of exciting news, Amarilly? Sunset,

"Oh, Mr. Derry, that is best of all!"

"And do you know what I am going to give Mrs. St. John for a wedding

present from you and me? The picture of The Little Scrub-girl."
