"Oh, my dear!" cried her ecstatic brother, "the beauty he is! What

larks we'll have with him!"

He took Pomona into his arms, crushing the infant against her breast

and his own. But she did not mind. She did not rebuke him, she even let

him dandle her precious babe.

"Look, what is his name to be, Pomony? Let's call him Rasselas."

Pomona looked at him very doubtfully.

"Or would you like William Wallace, then, or Robert Bruce?"

"I shall call him Johnny," said Pomona.

"Oh, that's silly!" protested her brother. But Pomona was quite

positive about this. He fancied there were tears in her eyes, she was

always tender-hearted.

"I shall call him Johnny--Johnny Flynn."
