Janice went out into the cold buttery, and skimmed off some cream in a bowl, then poured on it some boil- ing water from the singing tea kettle, and found some biscuit to break up in it, And all at once she heard Dinora give a cry of astonishment, sitting bolt upright and staring at the picture. “Land of rest,” where did you get her, Janice?" she asked. “On the doorstep, sister; please don’t be nervous a bit. She just came to us, and it's a blessing, too. Where do you live, Bertie?” Bertie was very busy with her sup- per, but she waved the spoon in a general fashion, and said she lived 'way off on the train, “Do you suppose for a minute that she's a—a—toundling?” Diuora said thoughtfully. “I've heard of such things.

She pointed to the hearthrug. “There she is, sale and sound, and I was just going to steal her from you." “You can have her any time now, Miss Janice,” he laughed happily, gathering Bertie up in his arwms. We're much obliged.” The door was shut and bolted again, and Janice stood alone, feeling old and bewildered at the way the sun- shine had gone out of her life.
