And then suddenly the neighborhood
woke UP one morning to the fact that
there was a girl right on the premises
with Ward She was the chickadee's
niece and she also had come over night
a-visiting. Mrs Dish found out all
about her. Her name was Elizabeth
Baxter and she had taught school for
eleven years, beginning when she was
seventeen, Aunt Cynthy was her only
available relative and they thought
a lot of each other Aunt Gym
thy had written that she was poorly and
lonesome and hungry for glimpse of
Elizabeth. So Elizabeth had come for
a weeks stay. Elizabeth was of medi-

after the manner of a woman who
earns no more than $12 week and must
save something for the future.

Rines, with a toss of her chin.
Nobody sought out Elizabeth. She
was left to her aunt solely. Evenings
she rode out in the car sitting alone OH

place beside Ward. Ward seemed to

crawl from her bed to her chair and
back again. Elizabeth had to stay and
nurse her. Besides that, she kept the
house for Ward. She proved to be very
capable and far better cook than either
her aunt or Loretta. She frightened up,

might say, Cynthia had bought a new
hat and a dress or two and a pair Of
white shoes-Elizabeth had exquisite
feet-and she saw that the girl wore
