"Hush yer mouth" growled Windy.

The boy turned his face 10 the wall.
The conviction was strong upon him
that he was going TO die. The world
spun round now very, very fast, indeed.
Finally, half rising in bed, he called
Little Stumps TO his side:
"Stumps, dear, good little Stumps, N

with me. No, Stumps-dear little

And so he did. BY the time his father
came home he was sitting up; and he
ate breakfast the next morning as if
