I begged mamma not to put my dresses down, but I’m past thirteen, and big as she is. And—”,CHAPTER XVII.—A SAMPLE OF EBENEZER WOPP’S IRE.,Now he flew off down the county road at a speed that made passers turn; but he saw no one. He neither slackened nor looked back till he found himself at the river where the little island rose, flower-crowned. The poppies were fewer; and where a month before the flame-flower had triumphed, to-day wild roses perfumed the air.,“And you’re my Ladybird sister,” Billy said, very softly for him, and threw his arm about them both.,Directly the invalid’s querulous demand for the rancher was made, Moses started off to fetch him.，“Doh, re, mi, fah, soh, la, ti, doh,” sang the children in faint uncertain tones.，“He mustn’t git thinkin’ too much of hisself ’cause o’ what he did this day,” warned the boy’s mother. “Pride goes afore distruckshing, an’ a horty spirit afore a fall.”，“But you work hard, and he should do his part. You are spending your youth for us, and I’m glad he begins to see it.” They spoke softly, yet Billy knew partly what they said; and it made him still more thoughtful.SUNDAY brought rain, and Mrs. Bennett decided that May Nell must remain quietly in the house. The only apparent result of her exciting day, and the faint, was a languor that made her willing to obey, to curl up by the fire, with Sir Thomas by her side. He was a tremendous cat, who accepted lazily all the caresses bestowed upon him, while Flash, his white mate, was shy, and unless forced, would not appear before strangers.

He had since offered it and had tried to thrust it on her, but injured pride could not thus be appeased.,A whoop startled her and she turned to see a handsome boy racing up on a brown pony, also carrying a basket.,“My father didn’t let my mother work when he was alive; but he—he died.” Billy bent lower over his weeding, and both were quiet.,“Do you like to work?” His tone was insistent; and he lifted his head and looked hard at her, as if to challenge the tiniest bit of insincerity that might be lurking back of the words. “Like to work?” he repeated with added emphasis.,Supper over and dishes hurried out of sight, the floor was once more cleared and the real business of the evening was resumed.,Across to the girls’ side he flew.

She was already in her shining misty robe that was to change her from Rain to Dew; but she caught the gray mantle, covered herself with it as she ran, and was in the wings almost as soon as Billy.,“Why, Billy? I don’t believe in whipping unless all else fails.”,Every back bent a little lower. Every face flushed a little rosier under its coat of grime. Praise from Billy was all they asked.,“Not in the house; in this room, yes.”,“Why doesn’t Billy come?” she asked of Bouncer; and the dog ran out of the door and stood on three legs, one forefoot lifted, his eyes fixed on the spot where Billy had disappeared. But no master was to be seen, and he went back to May Nell, whined, and put his nose on her knee.,Evelyn relieved of her fear of the tottering kettle, roused to her charge. “Go ’way, Billy!
