I was Just awake when Bobby

knew something very exciting had
happened-for that is the only
thing that stops my little Bobby
from talking.

Bobby gulped and then finally
'Nellie's home"
"Nellie's what?"
Just then my telephone rang.
1t was Mr.. Jenkins.
Its all right" I said, Nellie
is here" when Mr.. Jenkins in
great distres told me that Nellie
had broken through the fence and
had got away during the night.
"She came home to see her
baby" said 1. And, Mr.. Jenkins,
was thinking that it seems too
bad to separate them until Jake
is older.

Mr.. Jenkins. "I'll give you fifty
dollars for him."
Its a bargain, Il answered
cheerfully.

Ariana turned crimson with
rage; for a moment it looked as
IL she meant to strike Pat. But
before anything more could be
said or done Larry dragged Pat
away. and Pat, struggling, kick

her scorn and jealous hatred of
Ariana forgotten, had to go.
Larry was angry, but he had
himself well in hand.

shoulders. The night was one of
calm and peaceful beauty. The
moon made the garden as bright
as day; 1t was so warm that in the
Schuyler house all the windows
were open.

standing by the gate, filling his.
pipe, packing the tobacco down
with neticulous care, could look
into the ball room and see, with
out any difficulty at all, the corr

musicians had been placed.
Ariana was at the piano: the
group that had gathered about
her when she took her place had
opened way for Larry, and he
stood close beside her now, look

plain in every look, every move

And Pat knew, now, that she

and went back into the house.
And, diskonsolate, little ashamed
of herself, but not enough to
make her sorry for what she had
done, Pat walked across the gar
den to the gate. Kelley was
there; she saw at once that he had
been listening from the way he
smiled as he took his long pipe
from his mouth. That was too
