NEITHER boy nor dog paused till they came to the dusty road. There Bouncer stopped and ran excitedly about the spot where the big man had taken May Nell in his arms; doubled back on his track, stopped again, and looked up at Billy, perplexity written all over his face. Billy encouraged him with word and caress; but he came at last, put his nose against Billy’s knee, and whined apologetically. “Said so, but they’re late. We’ve got an addition, the little earthquake girl.” This last was a sibilant aside. “And what’s the ‘chinning’ to be about?” she questioned, sitting on the bedside; “the fortune?”.

Dido trembled all over, whether from rage or fear Jen could not determine, and opened her mouth to give the lie to her accuser. Then she shut it again, as a heavy step was heard outside the door. A moment later and Mrs. Dallas, with a face expressive of astonishment, was standing on the threshold of the room; and Dido at her feet was making the room resound like a jungle with howlings like those of a wild beast.

“But some people like their work, don’t they?” May Nell persisted. She was exploring strange country. “Is theh faywies wound heah, Betty? Can they see us?” inquired the little boy in awe-struck tones. “All this turnin’ is good for the liver too you know,” she continued, as her son’s vinegary expression remained unaltered. Billy was off, fear lending fleetness to feet that a moment before had been leaden. He overtook his mother and Jean in the path to the Lodge. “Have you come for her?” he panted. “Do you think she’s alone still?”.
