times they seemed almost friendly, as
you might say. and toward the end of
the day Hartleys blueness, that was

One thing that think Agnes noticed
was the way the boy, Redny, stuck to
him. You could see that the little
chaps idea of a first-class brick was
Martin Hartley. And another sure
thing was that Redny was the Page
girls favorite. She was always run

That was a sample of the talk of

crowd, as usual, with stories about the

how the Ark upset, and twas wild

embroidering it twas a regular crazy

He didn't know much about Washy,
except from the girls talk, for Hartley

old man was sick. Agnes Page seemed
a good deal interested.

1t was August now. The nice wealth
er held out right along and one day
on Ozone island was a good deal like
the next.
And yet it seemed to me that there
was little changes. For instance, take
the matter of reading. When we first
arrived twas nothing but that Natural
Life book; the Heavenly Twins was
at it continuous, and such thing as a
newspaper or magazine was what

Hartley laughed and tossed it over

Then he commenced to read that

solemn, and stopping every once in a
while to chuck in some ridiculous adj
