It is grand readin’. Do read another,” said Mrs. Wopp.,Now was Billy’s chance! The place was alone! He waited till each traveller was out of view on the curving road, then climbed up, crossed the dusty wheel tracks, and crept into the brush on the other side. Once hidden he “snooped” silently through the tangled chaparral, coming shortly to the mystery-house, so close to it that he could have looked in at the windows had they been clean enough.,The ivy and the Idean vine.’,CHAPTER IV.—WASH-DAY AT MRS. WOPP’S.，“Come on Betty, you haven’t had a dance this evening. It isn’t fair for the grownups to have all the fun,” invited Howard Eliot.，“But, Mose, you shorely didn’t fergit a sorft answer turneth away wrarth?”，Mrs. Wopp obligingly gave as an encore, “There were ninety and nine,” apropos of nothing whatever. Then turning to a portrait on the wall, she enlarged on the musical ability of a great-uncle from whom she reckoned she had received her gift of song.She put out her hand for the pail but stopped suddenly, for the dog growled; and the next instant the room darkened, and a man stood in the doorway.

The vociferations of Moses were so severe on his vocal chords that he found it necessary to visit the pump.,The bottle went crash, and a furious yell informed the neighborhood that the Gang was “up to some new deviltry.”,“Git in there, an’ no nonsense,” ordered Moses, who was chafing at the delay.,Jimmy’s face lost its scorn. Someway the sting of his sarcasm never seemed to touch Billy, who could always strike back a surer if less venomous blow. Perhaps that was the very reason why Jimmy, though larger and older, sought Billy and heeded him as he did no other save his own stern father.,When the program was over Moses noticed enviously that Betty was so close to the orchestra that her ear was almost in the trombone.,THE day was fine. Billy, not long released from his green shade, wondered if the world was ever so lovely before; the flowers so sweet, the birds so joyous. Could it be only a few short weeks since that gray Sunday? Billy’s confinement had quickened him, introduced him to himself; now he looked on life with wider eyes, with a more understanding heart.,The bottle went crash, and a furious yell informed the neighborhood that the Gang was “up to some new deviltry.”,“Please,” answered the discomfited youth, “I aint never seen a ship of no kind.”,In spite of noise and heedlessness there was something fine and true about Billy; something that made old Bouncer whine when left behind; something that called the kittens to rub against his legs; that made the little children at school adore him, and men and women smile heartily when they greeted him. It was this mysterious something that brought a wan smile to the small tired face and tired eyes that looked confidingly into his blue ones.
