The other man brought a pail and started up the hill.,“Pretty; and Charley will be Douglas, and—”,Choosing a piece of bright yellow chalk she began to inscribe the golden text on the blackboard. She pressed too hard and the chalk cracked and fell to the floor. Pete Stolway vaulted out of his chair to capture the yellow pencil, but he had the misfortune to step on both the pieces of crayon, crushing them to sand, a heap of yellow grit.，“But Mrs. Carter’ll expect—” Billy began, yet stopped, for the physician was laughing.，Miss Gordon complied, then followed the old favorite with a two-step played in as sprightly a manner as the organ would allow.，“Take care ole boy, you’ll trip on yer lip in another minute.”“Why, ma, the children are quite respectable; I know all their mothers.” Buzz’s mamma looked a little mischievous.

“Gosh! My throat feels like I’d been garglin’ with a bumble bee,” he exclaimed. Greatly refreshed, he did full justice to the difficult roles of combined driver and audience. Jethro, delighted with the new game, tore madly round the yard, barking shrilly and demanding more speed. But Job, running sadly corner-wise, was destined from the start for a losing race.,May Nell sat still and smiled modestly. Billy stared at her, feeling still more foolish over his own mistake.,“You remember that story about a man who died for love of a girl because he knew he ought not to marry her?

Her head was held at the exact angle for ascending the ladder to perform the imposing duties of moving picture operator, and her foot was on the first rung when she suddenly thought of the collection box for the carrots the children were carrying.,CHAPTER X.—THE CIRCUS.,“Please,” answered the discomfited youth, “I aint never seen a ship of no kind.”,He laughed coarsely. “George Smith’s kid, all right. You’ve got the same high way with you.”,“Your nose is out of joint, Edith!
