The Awakening of Helena Richie

"HELENA R."

"I wonder if that brother has interfered?" thought Dr. Lavendar.

"Something has happened; that's evident. Keep him? Well, I guess I

will!" He looked down at David, his old eyes beaming with pleasure.

"Mrs. Richie wants you to stay with me tonight; what do you think of

that?"

"I wanted to see the rabbits," said David; "but I don't mind staying--

very much."
