"Ves, I remember now. Never,

"So I bring Tummy and the baby

Billy was looking very queer.
"Is that why you always have the
highest percentage of attendance, be
catlse you buy shoes for Lizzie, and
get work for Mike's father, and nurse
bubles for the Doogaus?"
Something In the man's eyes made
her drop her own quickly again. "Miss

But outside the door with his squirm
ing burden he heard his name called
softly.
"Billy!" came through the keyhole
faintly. "Oh. Billy!"
"Yes?" he turned as though to go
back.
"I love- you, Billy !" said the voice.
And Mr. Merwin, woman hater, nearly
dropped the baby.
