The doll was safe, however, and with fortitude worthy of emulation still smiled although sawdust again trickled from her re-opened wound.

Supper over and dishes hurried out of sight, the floor was once more cleared and the real business of the evening was resumed. He had hardly recovered from his laugh when two little girls appeared at the gateway. “There’s Twinnies! Come in, Kiddies, and see my new sister,” he called, as they hesitated. “Won’t you dive Elmo some wed ones, too?” he pleaded. “O Billy!” Jean gasped, fear for the little, delicate girl in that eery place lending sympathy to her voice..
