CHAPTER II
A s the afternoon wore on. and
"a still Carson did not appear
Sally's gratitude for Mrs Carson's
inarticulate kindness sent her on
. flying trip to the orchard to
gather enough hard. sour apples
to make pies for supper.
As she piled the sliced apples
thickly into tho crimped pie crust
she thought wistfully OF Mrs. Car
son. who was kind to her although
she was q hard taskMistress.
maybe" Sally reflected sadly
busting around nutmeg over the
thickly sugared apples. III | could
stay on here. Mrs. Carson would
want to adopt me. But OF course
Pearl and Mr. Carson wouldn't lei
her. They hate me because David
likes me and won't marry Pearl
And | like David better than any
body In the world" she confessed
to herself. as the pink In her
cheeks deepencd. But | would

wonder why some girls have every
thing. and others nothing? Why
should Pearl have a mother who
Just spoils her past all enduring?
Pearl isn't good isn't even
good to her mother"
When her three big apple pies
were In the oven. she washed the
bread bowl In which she had mixed
her pie crust: washed and dried
vigorously the big yellow pine
board and rolling pin. and restored
them to their proper places. Then
feeling very useful and virtuous
she set the table for supper. sing
ing little scraps OF popular songs
which she had heard over the radio
during her week on the farm.
By that time her pies were
baked to Z deep. golden brown.
with little glazed blisters across
their top crusts.
nc l do say It myself" she said.
IN her little old.woman way. her
head cooked sideways as she sur
veyed her handiwork. those are
real pies. hope Mrs. Carson will
Be surprised and pleased"
Then, because she was very tired
and the late afternoon sun was
making IN inferno Of tho kitchen.
Sally climbed the steep back stairs
% the garrett. intending to take .
cooling sponge bath and Z short
nap before the family returned
hungry for SUPPER. She was about
% pass David's door when biz voice
halted her:
