Have you found the stuff they stole from the store, Bill?",Her face changes. He has made no mention of the treasured gown, has said no little word of praise.,But the lawyer, apparently, had nothing to tell them. Gravely he lifted his hat to Erie, threw a smile of good-fellowship to Billy and turned up the path to the cottage.，And, oh! she dances such a way,，Yes, it was he, and would she accept a little Christmas present? Johnny Blossom held out to her the fancy paper basket filled with peppermint drops.，"I ain't a fool, sir," said the tramp, with a sheepish grin. "I should, you bet."The wind whistled in his ears and he was choked by the rapid ascent, yet the sensation was not entirely unpleasant.
