CHAPTER I HE long, bare room had never ~ been graced by @ picture or a curtain. Its only furniture was 20 narrow fron cots, Four girls were scrubbing the warped, wide-planked floor, three of them pitifully young for the hard work, the baby of them being only six, the oldest nine, The fourth, who directed their labors, rising from her knees sometimes to help one of her small crew, was just turned 16, but she looked, in her short, skimpy dress of faded blue and white checked gingham, not more than 12 or 13, “Sal-lee,” the six-year-old called out in a coaxing whine, as she sloshed a dirty rag up and down in a pail of soapy water, “play-act for us, won’t you, Sal-lee? ‘Tend like you’re @ queen and I’m your little girl I'd be a@ princess, wouldn’t I, Sal-lee?” The child sat back on her thin Nttle haunches, one small hand plucking at the skimpy skirt of her own faded blue and white gingham, an exact replica, except for size, of the frocks worn by the three other scrubbers. “I'll ‘tend Hke I’ve got on a white satin dress, Sal-lee—" Sally Ford lifted a strand of fine black hair that had escaped from the tight, thick braid that hung down her narrow back, tucked it behind a well-shaped ear, and smiled fondly upon the tiny plead- er. It was miracle-working smile Before the miracle, that small, pale face had looked like that of a se rious little old woman, the brows knotted, the mouth tight in a frown of concentrafion. But when she smiled she became & pretty girl. Her blue eyes, that had looked almost as faded as her dress, darkened and gleamed like phires. Delicate, wing-like eye- brows, even blacker than her hair. lost their sullenness, assumed lovely, provocative arch. Her whi cheeks gleamed. Her little pale mouth, unpuckered of its frown, bloomed suddenly, like a tea rose opening. Even, pointed, narrow teeth, to fit the narrowness of her delicate, childish jaw, flashed into that smile, completely destroying the picture of a rather sad little old woman which she might have posed for before. “All right, Betsy!” Sally cried, jumping to her feet. “But all of you will have to work twice as hard after I’ve play-acted for you, or Stone-Face will skin us alive.” Her smile was reflected in the three oldish little faces of the chil- dren squatting on the floor. The rags with which they had been wiping up surplus water after Sal- ly’s vigorous scrubbing were aban- doned, and the three of them, mov- ing in unison like mindless sheep, clustered close to Sally, following her with adoring eyes as she switched a sheet off one of the cots. “This is my ermine robe,” she declared. “Thelma, run and shut the door, . . . Now, this is my royal crown,” she added, seizing her long, thick braid of black hair, Her nimble, thin fingers searched for and found three crimped wire hairpins which she secreted in the meshes.of the plait. In a trice her small head was crowned with its own magnificent glory, the braid wound coronet-fashion over her ears and low upon her broad, white forehead. “Say *A royal queen am I,’” six. year-old Betsy shrilled, clasping MR cr RM Ml a pair of perfectly matched sap-| to be pleasant and conversational, for phe was fond of Sally, in her own way. “She has yellow curls, though I suspect her mother, who has just died and who was a stock company actress, used peroxide on it. But still it’ low and it’s curly, and we t least a hun- dred applications on file for little girls with golden curly hair.” “Thelma,” she whirled severely upon the eight-year-old child, “what's this in your bed?” Her broad, heavy palm, sweeping ex: pertly down the sheet-covered iron cot, had encountered something, a piece of broken blue bottle. “It—it's mine,” Thelma quiv- ered, her tongue licking upward to catch the first salty tear. “I traded my broken doll for it: I look through it and it makes everything look pretty and blue,” explained desperately, in the institutional whine, “Oh, please let me keep it, Mrs. Stone: 4 But the matron had tossed the bit of blue glass through the near- est window. “You'd cut yourself on it, Thelma,” she justified her- self in her stern voice, “I'll see if I can find another doll for you ia the next box of pi at comes: in, Now, don't cry like a bal You’re a great big girl. It was just a piece of broken old bottle. Well, Sally, you take charge of the new little girl. Make her feel at home. Give her a bath with that insect soap, and make a bundle of her clothes and take them down to Miss Pond.” . She lifted her long, starched skirt as she stepped over one of the scrubber’s puddics of water, then moved majestically through the door. Clara, the nine-year-old orphan, stuck out her tongue as the white skirt swished through the door, then turned upon Sally, her little face sharp and ugly with hatred. “Mean old thing!

I’m a princess! I've got on white satin and little red shoes, ain't I, Sal-lee?” Sally was marching grandly up and down the barrack-like dormi- tory, holding Betsy’s hand, the train of her “ermine robe” upheld by the two other little girls in faded gingham, and her dramati- cally deepened voice was chanting “verses” which she had composed on other such occasions and to which she was now adding, when the door was thrown open and a booming voice rang out: “Sally Ford! What in the world does this mean? On a Saturday morning!” The two little “pages” dropped the “ermine robe”; the little “prin- cess” shrank closer against the “queen,” and all four, Sally's voice leading the chorus, chanted in a monotonous sing-song: “Good morning, Mrs. Stone. We hope you are well.” It was the good morning salutation which, at the matron’s orders, invariably greeted her as she made her morning rounds of the state orphanage asy- lum, “Good morning, children,” Mrs. Stone, the head matron of the asy- lum answered severely but auto- matically.
