"Yes," replied Chester. "I shall tell him."

"Oh, papa, you dear, good papa!" exclaimed Lucy throwing her arms about him.

"There, there now, behave—say good-night to Chester."

But she clung to him and kissed him through her tears of joy. Then she went to Chester.

The father turned to go.

"Wait a moment, papa," said Lucy: "I want to go with you."

With a parting kiss for Chester, and a murmured good night, she took her father's arm and led him in.
