West Town Farm _calle_, uttering all sorts of cries, and ready to give us more trouble EMILIE POULSSON,All through the night Mona scarcely shuts her eyes, so full is her mind of troubled and perplexing thoughts. At last her brain grows so tired that she cannot pursue any subject to its end, so she lies silently awake, watching for the coming of the tardy dawn.,“But that’s not like having someone you belong to!” cried Jerry. “The Boss is all right but he isn’t a family. Why, the first thing I remember is selling papers in the Loop back in Chicago when I was hardly big enough to walk, and getting licked when I got home because I didn’t bring in enough pennies. Home!” the boy’s voice broke on the word. “It wasn’t a home!”,"No, madam. I left him at his offices about half an hour ago.","May I have a word with you, sir?" he exclaimed in a coarse, hoarse, broken voice.，"'Top corner,—right hand,'" goes on Mona, taking no heed of him, and speaking in the same low, mysterious, far-off tone.，It really looked very pretty hanging there on the wall.，"Indeed you did no such thing," retorted Etwald, coolly.

Yet no incongruity of dress could disguise the refined beauty of her face, or of her uncovered hair.,"No, ours won't be them kind of colds," Billy explained. "They'll be the dry-cough, consumption kind, that either cure up quick er slow. All we gotta do is dig up an Injun turnip out o' the bush an' nibble it. It'll pucker our throats up so tight we'll be hoarse enough to sing bass in the choir.","I intend to," I answered haughtily, uncertain as to whether I had better give in and be agreeable, or stay prepared to cry in case there was further argument. But suddenly a strange diffidence came into his eyes, and he looked away from me as he said in queer hesitating words—,"Oh, now, Mrs. Geoffrey, come—I say—how cruel yon can be!","Come here to me a minute!" he said quickly, and he turned me round and put his head down between my shoulders and held me so tight against his ear that I could hardly breathe.,"Some of them; not all. I know a considerable few who dress so little that they might as well leave it alone.",The woman raised her hands in consternation.,Immediately thirty boys and girls leaped to their feet and windows went up with a bang.,Major Jen recoiled from the young girl in amazement.,"Neeborly, ain't he?" growled Tom to his companion. "Nice, friendly sorter youngsters they raise on this God forsaken spot, I say.",“Not that, it was horrible; and people can hear you away down the road.”.
