tried TO swipe my doll II they move
into this neighborhood they'll have tc
roost on top Of their house to keer
away from the Irish. II was soup again
out OF a can this morning, and thsr
my father went 10 bed with my dol
and me and Rowdy started TO school
and we passed the Wells kids ant
Dutch and Piciaee, but we did not stoI
to talk to any Of them or to play with
them because they did not stop to play
with us and we are not going to play
with anyone unless they ask Us to. and
that settles that.

last night for she looked very happy
this morning, and she asked me to ea'
with her so when noon came wtn'
down and got bowl OF soup and a
sandwich for Rowdy and one for me
and took them upstairs and broke
Rowdys sandwich into his soup, and

lunch and ! guess she came pretty
near giving il TO me, she left It unit
the last and she kept looking at Il ant

up her mind to give Il 10 me and ] WAi
half reaching for II, but she had sAad'
up her mind TO eat Il her own self. \
Il had not been for that l would hav'
had pie for dinner. Rowdy does no
| like pie, so he was not disappointed q
all. Me and Rowdy stayed till ah'
