“St. Elmo’s lost, Ma,” wailed Maria. “We can’t find him and he’s wandered down the creek.” When Betty entered the open garden gate she noticed Nancy sitting patiently beside a gopher hole watching for the tiny inmate to appear. In order not to disturb her pet, the child took a roundabout course to the beet patch where Moses and Mrs. Wopp were working. Mrs. Bennett spoke frequently of the change in Billy.
