Somewhat sulkily Wilson locked the
door of the little house But he and
the girl visited no more houses that

10 would be nightly pleased at their
action in securing such a desirable
home for them.

"Take the house ourselves"
When Bertha came to the door of

'ne look, saw Dorothy and Wilson
standing in the middle of the room,
