“ Oh,  he  has  got  mixed  up,”  Will

                                 cried,  eagerly.      “  I  must  go  and  explain

                                 to  him/ 1

                                    iL Folks  don’t  have  to  explain  to  their

                                 own  father  whose  child  they  are.             Now
                                 quit  this  nonsense,  Peg,  and  go  to  work.

                                 Mr.  Fullerton  says  you  aint  to  be

                                 trusted,  anT  I  believe  him.”
                                    Wilifred  now  realized  the  uselessness

                                 of  talking  to  Mrs.  Bagley,  but  what  was

                                 she  to  do ?      Time  was  precious.            The

                                 moments  that  should  be  employed  in
                                 finding  Peggy were  slipping away.                She

                                 could  not  wait  for  Mr,  Bolander

                                     The  entry  door  was  wide  open,  and

                                 as  the  little  girl  looked  anxiously  out
                                 into  the  sunshine,  she  resolved  to  waste

                                 no  more  words.         She  ran  out  and  flew

                                 like  an  arrow  along  the  street,  laughing
                                 at  Mrs,  Bagley, who  was  panting  behind

                                 her.
