DOLLYS HOUSE-HUNTING
~~~N~N~NN~N-


@HEY'LL have to go house-hunt-
ing, now, and that's all there is
to it," said Mrs. Flynn, decided
ly, as she opened the new lodger's
door, and prepared to sweep the room.
The new lodger, worn young wom-
an, had passed away four days ago,
and had left baby girl of four years,
but, unhappily, no money with which
to care for it. 1t was this fact that
called forth remark quoted above from
tall, stern Mrs. Flynn.
Dolly, the lodger's little girl. was
kneeling on broken chair gazing wist-
fully out of the dusty window. Spot
her dog, and only companion, was
curled up on the floor asleep.
Yes. they'll have to 90 house-hunt-
ing for sure" repeated Mrs. Flynn. 81
haven't nothin' to keep the dog on,
mLjh less the child" Dolly looked up,
hearing the words. Come, run out
with your dog while sweep" said the
landlady, speaking to the child, who
slipped to the floor. you can't so into
the kitchen cause Marys washin' and
she'll bite your head off, like as not,
ard you can't so into the parlor with
that there dog. Sit yourself down on
the stairs till I'm through. Run,
now"
Dolly trudged patiently down the
narrow winding stairs, and Spot pat
tered beside her.
Look out for the torn place in the
carpet, Dolly" she murmured to her
self, repeating the phrase SO often on
mothers lips.
As she paused on the second land
Ing a long mirror caught her eyes
through the half-open door, and, en-
tering the room, she went close to the
glass.
"You s'pOse we look good 'nough to
20 house -huntin', Spot?' she asked. af-
ter surveying the chubby little figure
for a few moments. You s'pose we
do? Mamma dressed me up when we
canned here, Spot, but | can't dress you
up cause you're only dog. But Wen
20 house huntin' just the same"
The two little friends continued their
slow journey down stairs, and to Dol
Iy's great delight the front door was
open. Mary stood on the steps with
her sleeves rolled up, talking to the
postman.
"P'r'aps she won't see u.s." mur-
INJURED the little girl, doubtfully.
"Cause I've got to go"
Mary did not pay any attention to
the child and dog as they slipped past
her down to the sidewalk, but as they
were about to turn up the street, the
oostman put out a long arm and caught |
Dolly.
Where are you goin, miss?" he
asked, laughing, as she struggled to |
free herself. You're too little to 80
uptown alone"
Dolly Madison, Just you take that
dog and trot into the house, where you
belong" cried the exasperated servant.
"Gf you don't move quick, now" she
added threatening, as the postman set
the child on the lower step.
But the mail carrier showed signs Of |
continuing the conversation, and when
Dolly pleaded eagerly to be allowed to
go into the street, and Mary caught
the name of her mistress, she relented,
saying carelessly:
"Oh! Mrs. Flynn said you could?
Then go along, for goodness saker'
Dolly darted eagerly to the sidewalk
again, followed by Spot, and together
they hurried up the short street into a
more respectable, peopled one. As they
turned into the crowd, Dolly breathed
more freely. She was half afraid that
Mary would change her mind about

Hearts overflow;
