 settled the craestibn of age (about two 

 years), and showed him my private 

 mark and told bim Bhe was m i n e, and 

 I was going to take her. He was quite 

 good-humored up to this point, but 

 then he changed, and dared me to 

 take her. I said, "All right," and 

 t irned away with "Gome on, Flirt,'' 

 and didn't she just "come on." Some 

 of your morbidly nervous New Yorkers 

 would have taken then- " Davy " she

 tiad disappeared, while one of the

 keep the fellow in conversation till he
