NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER 40
Elanda and Dixie had not spoken
when she came home late the even
ing before. Bang had gone to bed
earlier and Dixie sat up reading.
But when Elanda awakened the
following morning to hear Dixie
fr~antically calling a doctor. her own
wounded feelings disappeared in a
moment. She bounded out Of bed
and ran into the living room:
Why, Dixie, what Is wrong?"
Dixie's eyes we're streaming tears
and her shoulders were shaking
with fright:
"Oh, Andree is awfully sick. /
don't know what's wrong with her.
She fretted last night. but 7 thought
IL was the heat. This morning she
hasn't wanted to get up from her
bed and she's all hot and
feverish."
Now. don't worry, honey" Elan
da put her arms around her. She'll
be all right. She probably has eaten
something that disagreed with her"
Their eyes locked for a moment
in mutual sympathy and under
standing. Then Dixie threw her
arms around Elanda with a sob:
"Oh. Andy" it was the baby's pet
name for her and it brought another
little sob, Il don't know what I'd
do if YOU weren't here with me-"
Both we're happier than either Of
them would ever know that their
quarrel had solved itself. But the
tragedy of its being solved in such
a manner put a damper on their
happiness.
They went in together and stood
beside the little bed.
II don't want TO try 10 do any,
thing until the doctor comes" Dixie
put her hand on the hot little head.
I'm afraid I'll do something wrong.
She never has been sick before
except a little from cutting teeth"
Elanda bent over and smiled ten
derly at the baby. 1t wTung her
heart to see her pallor and the dark
circle that had come under the pen
sive little eyes.
Aunt Andy'S baby doesn't feel
will this morning. does it?" she
cooed tenderly Mice doctor come
and make our lover all we'll"
The corners OF the little soft
mouth turned up in recognition and
tried hard 10 smile. But, instead.
the little chin quivered. Elanda had
to turn away.
Dixie drew q dry sob:
"Oh. Andy, II she weren't such a
good. patient, little darling. IL
wouldn't seem so dreadful. Look at
the little darling trying to smile at
us. Mothers precious lambie. Mother
make IL all well"
They passed a tragic hour that
seemed like a day before the doctor
came. Or. Turner came in smiling.
He VA n big ma in a gray tweed
suit and he looked so competent and
friendly that Dixie's heart eaSed a
little as she took him into the bed
room.
He bent over Andree like q big
uncle and took her little hand:
Good morning. babykins. How
are you this morning7"
TO their anazement she gave him
her most pensive wee grin:
Fine. flank 'ou."
The doctor laughed pleasantly:
