Bess came into the room and danced
ACROSS the floor. Perhaps the rug was
Z torn, or maybe one OF Tommy's toys

her to stumble, and In trying to save
nerself her right arm rested for an

time seemed to be day. What could
she do? She had hoped her mother
might come, but no one opened the
front door ooh. wish I coulG die

Then she suddenly sat UP, for the
terrible thought came that she might
not go there, because she had been so
wicked
II suppose I must tell grandmoth-

down stairs. wandered through the
rooms. and finally entered the kitchen.

The clock on the dining room man

half hour. Bess heard the strokes Of
the bell and she also heard the front
door slam It was either Dick or
Tommy, perhaps Annette; her mother
wouldn't make so much noise. It was
too late now to ask one of them to
go TO town and tell the children not
to come She could picture them

and examined the maps on the wall,
then turned the leaves of the big die
tionary that stood on a rack near the
teachers desk. and looked at the pic
lures in the back part. She wished
that she had more of grandmother's
lotion, and that mother could rock
her again.
It seemed as II she should have
some reward for her suffering: surely
a girl with a burn like that couldn t
be expected to act like other girls.
Bess didn't know exactly what 1t was
she wanted; only nothing seemed just
right. - 90 $3.50
At that moment Sophie Jones came

her mittens.
"Oh, Sophie!" called Bess; won't

What time?"
From Ave to seven"
Thank you" said Sophie; I'll be

school room. and when Bess saw their
eager faces she marched UP to them

always was
Why couldn't she die? Her breath
just wouldn't stop. Slowly she came
out of the corner and slowly tip-toed
down the stairs. No one was on that
floor. She crept down the second
flight. The library was empty and so
was the sitting room. Whoever had
come In had gone out again.
Bess peeked into the kitchen. Her
grandmother was stirring some corn
meal mush that dubbed over CHEEKY
fire. Then the girl moved softly into
the library and looked down the street.
1t was dusk and she couldn't see very
far. But she heard--the chatter of
Then they came in sight. fully twenty
boys and girls! They hesitated at the
corner, then started down the side
street. Bess understood: 1t was mud

in by the front door
She hurried back to the kitchen and
was just In time to hear her grand
mother say:

shut.
"Oh. grandmother! Piease!'
The woman turned and saw the pit

change came over her stern features.
She hurried to the door. threw IL open,
and called, Children! children"
They looked back.
