“Naw Nosey,” he retorted, “there ain’t no bun to break in two, the dorg is outside the bun already.” Moses and Betty were left to mind house, the admonishings of Mrs. Wopp being seasoned with picturesque if carelessly applied texts.

Diligently as Betty had tended this little garden, it was considered to be a family possession, the child’s own particular treasures lying beyond its fragrant border. Her cherished morning-glories and climbing nasturtiums found a welcome support in the old wooden fence. “Oh, chuck the business,” Jean said impatiently. “Can’t it wait till noon? I must go home then.” Billy beamed upon her. He adored her, as did every child in town. “Great Scott, boy! We’ll have to hurry. We must get up there before the fire gets down.
