Sandra said quietly.

sPENSER WAS so outraged
also Belinda's grasp was so strong
that he plunged to the brick
platform. He accepted Sandra's
ACKNOWLEDGMENT welcome, as II In
q dream, and continued to stare at
the long-legged little girl who now
was holding up Bernie herself, as
well as all the other passengers.
Not that anyone seemed to mind.
Each person was watching the
scene between Belinda and q fat
little man. Their arms were tight
about each other and they were
shrieking some jargon known only
to themselves.
Finally the man unwound the
ehild's arms and yelled: "Yippee!
Ylppee! Here am with my little
bronze Dustin girl friend! Yippee!
Yippee!" he repeated, and slung his
hat into the air. Belinda replied by
tossing her frontier hat into the air
also. The pair jumped from the
train platform and walked away,
their arms once more about each
other, the same jargon rafting In
the air.

hats and put her arm about spen-
