Betty laughed softly to herself as
she tied a string carefully around her
great toe and attached the other
end to the piece of twinc that hung
over the window sill. Then she
turned out the light and crept into

II was the night before the glori-
Gus Fourth and Betty had decided
that inasmuch as the holiday came
during the vacation days she was
spending back at the Old farmhouse
where she was born, she w0lld be a
child again in her enjoyment of it,
She had tired OF the convtntionality
Of the life that was hers in the big
city in which she was now a wage
Garner, and these three weeks in the
quiet country were as days OF gold
to her. To be sure, the farm was no
longer occupied by her parents

TVS childhood chum was visiting at
her old home next door. She. too,
toiled in a distant metropolis, but it

and mother to keep the homestead
And 1t was a sentiment alone that
made Betty take her own room in the
home that had been hers instead OF &C.
cepting the hospitality Of her neigh.

fun we had when We were children"
Carolyn had said that afternoon.

And tie strings on your toes to
wake up early?" Betty had asked.
Carolyn nodded. Even that!
Mother always wakes early and I'll
call you. Just tie a string to your
big toe and fasten it to the white
picket fence between the hedges and
I'll pull 1t as early as you like. Wasn't
that what we used to do?'
"Exactly-for mother poor, dear
mother!-would not let me get up
early, and | had to do it quietly.
