HOW DE.BBY SAVED THE FARM

then she would have turned back, u
she heard Mary Ann coming down the
hall crying II spy Martha Jones!" so
Debby turned into the room and the
nearest object being the tall grand
fathers clock she softly opened the
ease and stepped inside. AS she
pulled the door closed Mary Ann en-
tered the room and pushed against it.
Debby held her breath, lest she be
detected, and then when Mary Ann
had gone from the parlor, she tried to
open the door, but it was caught tight
and the handle was on the outside.
What was she to do?
MARY Ann! Mary Ann! Martha
Jones! Motheri" she called. but the
wood of the clock frame dulled the
sound of her voice and the people
called were at the other end Of the
house. After a while Mary Ann and
Martha gave up their hunt for Debby

have borrowed her bag.

blush-pink to rose-red under his eager
scrutiny.
"Why, that's my bag" she ex-
claimed in wonder as Jim handed it to
her. Didn't haven't l seen you
somewhere before?"
Jim was just able to find the words
of explanation, and the girl broke into
happy laughter.
"Why, Alice is my laundress!" she
said. "a friend gave me her address
and l was going out to see her on the

The late King Edward, after his mar

Princess Mary or her husband were
permitted to tender gifts on the occa.
