Il am Mary Jane. I guess you never
saw me before. because the fence was

when ] asked Dorothy to come over
here and play. 1t Is an awful long way
round by the road. Good-by. Dorothy.
You will come again, won't you. cause
we can't come over on your side?"
No one scolded Dorothy, but she was
asked many questions and when that
night she fell asleep at the table her
grandfather carried her upstairs in his
arms and said 70 her mother: She had
a good time like any other little girl
for once in her life. guess 1t Is about
time that fence came down, the boys
are grown up now. It is long walk
by the road, as Mary Jane said, and II
you will stay all summer I'll have the
fence taken down."
The next morning when Dorothy went

removed and she looked through on
the other side.

"Oh, soody, goody," cried the little
sisters dancing up and down and clap
ping their hands.
"Won't il be just too lovely for any
thing said Margaret, now we can play
all day and every day and all you Will
have to do is to so home to sleep.
"Yes, cause we have only just enough
bed and / guess you will want to go
home to eat after a while. You'll get
tired of molasses.
NO. ! WON'T replied Dorothy. Il am
