lor dress, with her small hands placed on her hips, appeared quite a match for Teddy, who, with his golden head well up, looked like a war-horse scenting the battle-field. It was thus they met again; both employing their Saturday afternoon in roaming along the edge of a stream, they had suddenly come face to face with one another. 'You're to let me come over first,' she asserted very emphatically, 'because I'm a girl.' [Illustration: 'YOU'RE TO LET ME COME OVER FIRST,' SHE ASSERTED.] 'Boys never go back. A soldier's son never! I'm not going to turn my back before the enemy--I would disgrace my button if I did.' 'That old button!' The tone was that of utmost scorn. Teddy's cheeks grew rosy red at once, but he said nothing. 'I got to this bridge before you did,' she continued. 'I began to cross it first. And _you_, who are you? No one knows anything about you. I have been crossing this bridge for _years_.' 'More reason you shouldn't cross it now. My name is Nancy Wright, that's who I am.
