It seemed to him that light came in with the little girl, and all the sparkle and fragrance of the young summer without.,“But Jean’s two times as big as May Nell.”,“You’d think this here day’s trip to Calgary was a journey to Jeroosalem,” he complained, all his slips of paper used up in jottings to remind him of duties imposed.，“Never mind the floors, Billy. You’ve worked hard already; run off and have a good time.”，The cheerful clatter of knives and forks against Mrs. Wopp’s best blue willow plates was a gentle accompaniment to the ripple of laughing apology that Nell offered to the victim. Any constraint that might have been felt hitherto among the circle, decreased perceptibly as the rancher wiped the sweet syrupy drops from his face.，It was evident that great care had been exercised over Betty’s gift. She exclaimed joyously over a Cyclamen, whose pale pink blooms brought the flush of delight to her cheeks; a bag of peppermint bulls’ eyes elicited a like degree of appreciation.The man gave him an affectionate slap. “Go, then. You’re a right game kid, sure.”

“Let him play to-day, mother,” she pleaded, when the two stepped into the hall; “he can be a boy only once.”,Billy didn’t wait. Like all generous natures that are slow to anger, the passion once aroused possessed him to madness. He raced down the turnpike, his face aflame.

They’ll shore git inter jist as much mischief, but Praise be! They’re both toein’ in the right d’rection.”,Howard gravely did as ordered.,Bouncer tied? That red handkerchief! The boy went cold and pale. Before he looked he knew that May Nell was not there. He turned his white face to the others as they came up.,“And help?” May Nell asked, eagerly.,The Sheriff was a small man with fair, curly hair like a girl’s; but there was that in his eye that reinforced his pistol, made the big fellow quail, the other mutter a low warning.
