I'm awfully sorry, Miss Jinny.",Lady Rodney, rising hurriedly, sails with offended dignity from the room.,"Watch out!" warned Billy, grasping him by the arm and jerking him to one side, "that struck elm is goin' to fall." A rainbow of flame flashed close before the boys, as the stricken tree crashed across the path, hurling forth a shower of sparks as it came to earth. Then inky darkness followed and from the black canopy which a moment ago had seemed to touch the tree tops the rain fell in torrents.,"Why aren't you dancing?" she demanded sternly, her whiskers trembling with the fervor of her interest.
