"There wasn't any air under it to press it up." "Would the air pressing on the water around the glass make it do so, uncle?" asked Frank, placing the glass in the water and raising it as Susie had done. "It seems as if it might be that." "That is what it is," replied his uncle. "The air pressing on the water in the pail forces it into the glass, where there is nothing to keep it from rising."
It was Susie Martin. "One of you fellows, go in the other car," I asked the detectives. Before the man could move, Mr. Martin himself appeared. "No, Susan, I I won't allow it," he ordered. "But Elaine went," she pouted. "Well, Elaine is ah I won't have it," stormed Martin. There was no time to waste. With a hasty apology, I drove off.
"Yes," was the reply, "and now that our summer is coming, the people there are beginning to have winter." "Then," said Frank, "when it gets cooler here in the fall it is growing warmer there, and that would make their spring come in September, wouldn't it? Do you see, Susie?" "Yes," answered Susie, "but it seems all mixed up. I thought it was the same as it is here all over the world."
What Susie indeed, however, most thought of at present, in the quick, new light of it, was the wonder of Kate's dissimulation. She had time for that view while she waited for an answer to her cry.

Just then Sammie came along, and, after he had had some corn bread with preserved sweet cabbage leaves on, he went with his sister and uncle in the woods. "I am going to learn to jump rope," said Susie, quite proudly. "Don't you want to learn, Sammie?"
They were afraid that something would happen to Arthur, and Susie regretted that she had not insisted on going with him.
