“Isobel, play one of your pieces, let’s see how your recital helped you to-day.” Half paralyzed with astonishment Billy went with the Doctor to the Sheriff’s office; but he was out and the deputy didn’t know when he would return; thought it might be within an hour or so. There was nothing to do but wait. Billy’s perplexed, baffled face touched the Doctor. His temples were already gray, but he had not forgotten how a boy feels. “Yer a reglar Mis’ Barnum,” he praised.
