Miss PrlSSY red ana ulinpleu anu
MISS Temp : tnn ana white, with
two old fashioned rings on the fingers
won't you-won't you set down"
ventered Miss Tempy after a rather
awkward pause.
"Why. yes, of course" said Miss
Prissy, "and take your things right Off
do"
Bradley placed the carpetbag on the
corner Of the mat and pulled off the
shabby overcoat The jacket and
trousers beneath were also shabby, but
It was at his shoes that Miss Prissy
glanced, and. oddly enough, their con-
dition served to break the formality.
MY goodness mel" she calculated.
Jest look at his poor feet Tempy
Allen! Come right over to the stove
this minute and take off those shoes.
They're soppin' wet through
mo. maam," protested the boy.
"They amt, honest They only look
So"
Don't tell mew commanded Miss
Prissy go right over to the stove
this minute"
Bradley reluctantly obeyed, stepping
gingerly across the spotless Oilcloth
and taking as long strides as possible.
1t did not add to his comfort to see
Miss Tempy shake the melting snow
into the center Of the rope mat, fold
the latter carefully together and dis
appear with it into the kitchen.
Miss Prlssy piloted him to the chintz
covered rocker hy the big alright
stove. Then she proceeded to unlace
the patched brogans, commenting i'm an
undertone upon the condition Of the
stockings beneath.
"Pm 'fraid." said Bradley fearfully,
that I've got some snow water on
your floor, ma'am."
Don't say a word Thank goodness
your feet amt so wet as ] thought they
was. Put 'cm right on the rail Of the
stove there while l go up to the gar
ret and get those slippers Of fathers.
I'll be right back"
She hurried out Of the room just as
her sister entered it by the other door.
"Now. set right STILL" said Miss TEN
py. busting about. with the Steaming
teakettle iu her hand. I'm goin' TO
make you some pepper tea There's
nothu iu he world Ike pepper tea

for the boy. and he watched with inter
