Suddenly he laid the paper aside and took her in his arms. He kissed her
on her forehead, saying tenderly, 'It doesn't matter how hard a man tries
to keep from loving you; you just love your way right into his heart.'

"Gene threw her small arms about his neck, and laid her curly head on
his shoulder, saying in her pretty baby way, 'Gene woves oo, big man.'

"That completely won his heart; and when the two weeks had passed and
Gene's friends came after her, he did not want to give her up. So he
decided to keep her and bring her up as if she had been his own little
girl. This also pleased his wife and grown-up daughter very much, for
they had loved little Gene from the beginning.

"Gene is grown now, but she still has the same sunny disposition and the
same sweet smile, which make her beloved by all who know her. Nothing
but love could have won for her the beautiful home she has had all these
years. And to this day, Bee Loving is still helping her to win her way
through life. The greatest victories are always those that are won through
love."

"I know someone that I love," said little Don, throwing his arms round
Grandma's neck.

"So do I," said Joyce as she kissed Grandma good-night.
