the hedge and across the path.
Kit gave a smothered exclamation
and sat up, but before she could speak
there was the sound of fall at the
barbed- wire guard, and the girls rose
with frightened, yet half laughing,
faces.
"Hello!" called Kit gently. Are you
hurt?''
There was no response for a minute.

Don't jabber over it, Kit. You'll

Kit scowled defiantly at the broad
bay window Of the house next door.
The shades were lowered and the
blinds half closed. On one window
sill a plump tortoise-shell cat dozed
comfortably. Peace evidently reigned
within and 1t was the habitation of the
enemy.

Kit sat immovable in the dandelion-
starred grass and watched the COM
ing boy with disapproving, menacing
eyes. He was rather nice boy to
look at too, somewhere around 15,
and he whistled as he came along the
sidewalk IN front of the Norton cot
tage. There was q break In the low
box hedge made by vandals, but this

Kit hesitated, flushed warmly under
his teasing gaze, and took a seat on
the hickory settee.
Four weeks later Mclean took his
first walk 1t was slow, tedious one,
from the veranda to the hedge.
