Molly recovered from the amazing
deluge with remarkable calm, and in a
ridiculously short time took the fast

apple orchard and the best little town

"They are, I've heard" Len re-

As she neared her journeys end
Molly began to grow actually fright

told herself bravely. "But I didn't

she went to bed-funny tears; almost
as If their owner were homesick. And

room, like Lens fields and meadows.
But Norton Frost. manager, was nice

that to be thankful for.
The second week he asked Molly to
