And she flouted herself into the school-house. Jasper stood looking ruefully after her, shaking his head. "The little de'il!" he said aloud; "the poor, pretty little de'il. She'll get her dues aplenty afore she's done." And Jasper went back to the play. Meantime, inside the school-house, the play went gloriously on to the finish, and Gardley as Nick Bottom took the house by storm.

For long he never thought of her without an icy sinking of the heart. Part 2 Weeks passed. Sam Miller gave his whole time to the search for the missing girl. Jeff supplied the means; in every way he could he encouraged him and the broken mother. For a thousand miles south and east the police had her description and her photograph. But no trace of her could be found. False clews there were aplenty.

A child that is branded a liar has undoubtedly given abundant occasion for mistrust, and has lied aplenty; but undoubtedly also he has specialized in his lying, and would be incapable of certain kinds of lies that are common enough with other children. As we are the judges of our children in all of their misdeeds, we must preserve not only a judicious attitude, but we must really be just.

The network decided the gamble of keeping him on was warranted. By the next night the Formosa crisis had broken into the news, and it was the news. The details were horrible, and they were uncovered aplenty.

Decayed mouldings, it had aplenty: great splotches on wall and ceiling, where plaster had been tried through the year and found wanting; unsightlier splotch between the windows whence the tall gilt mirror had been plucked away for cash; broken chandelier, cracked panes, loose flooring, dismantled fireplace.

I was to mind my own business. When you see him again if you ever do will you tell him I did exactly as he said?" She did not answer. What was there to say?
