"He looks enough like the picture to be Edna's brother." "Aunt Emily," said Ruth, turning to Mrs.Coburn, who sat near them, "do you know in what Southern city Captain May found Edna ?" "Yes, it was in the one we have just left--Savannah." "And Frank came from Savannah, and he lost his mother and little sister there, and Edna's own mother was drowned there.

Oh, Mark, if it should be!" cried Ruth, much excited.
"Wouldn't it be just too jolly ?" said Mark.
Mrs.Coburn became almost as interested as the children when the matter was explained to her; but Captain May was quite provoked when he heard of it.

He said it was only a chance resemblance, and there couldn't be anything in it.

He had made inquiries in Savannah at the time, and never heard anything of any father or brother either, and at any rate he was not going to lose his Edna now for all the brothers and fathers in the world.

He finally said that unless they gave him a solemn promise not to mention a word of all this to Edna, he should not let her visit them next winter.
