approached with some caution. Soon
he saw Elnora, her flushed face beam

twigs and branches and talked to a
kneeling man.

and held out to Elnora small shining

into view Sinton almost cried out, for
he was the man of all others Wesley
knew with whom he most feared for
Elnoras safety. She had him on his
knees digging pupae cases for her from
the loose swamp loan.
"Elnorar' called Sinton. "Elnorav'.
"Oh, Uncle Wesley" cried the girl,
"see what luck we've had! know we
have a dozen and a half cocoons, and
we have three pupae cases. It's much
harder to get the cases because you

natural "But thought you were not

They started for the trail, Pete car

went on to the carriage together.

She scarcely could comprehend that

friendless, alone, and SO sick at heart

had decent clothing, books, friends and
her mind was at ease to work on her
studies.
+. As she approached home that night
the girl paused in amazement. Her
mother had company, and she was
laughing. Ernora entered the kitchen
softly and peeped into the sitting room.
Mrs. Comstock sat in her chair hold
ing book and every few seconds a
soft chuckle broke into real laugh.
Mark Twain was doing his work, while
Mrs. Comstock was not lacking in a
sense of humor. Elnora entered the
