Three times tile In'll had ; ns P*u:
Polly had not stirred from the pAiiiry.
where she had been sobbing lor a
quarter of an hour.
"It's that odious Mrs, Harton, who
came over when the flower box fell."
sh> breathed to herself 'That wo
man always does come when some
horrible thine happens lik. thl- I
v en't let her In."
So paying, Polly, roused tit last,
drew out a huge pall and file d it wnh
pt* amirs suds, contributing to
flood now and then a teardrop Sic
pot down the dustpan and broom and
enveloped herself In a pink and whit*
checked apron.
Then the back doorbell rang—two
short rings and three long ones.
"It’s Susie." she cried, th: owing lh«
dustpan into the pail and then Hinging
open the door with a clatter
"You darling!" she sobbed, pushing
her friend into the gre( ^wielor ehalr
that adorned the porch. You cun t
go in there, I almost didn't let you in
at all. I didn't hear you tit.g at tlie
front door and I Jus! knew it was Mrs
Harton.
