Albright was in the corner room. "I will deliver these now," she said, "before it is time for Miss Sniffen." "I'm afraid she'll catch you in there some day," Polly told her with a troubled little nod. "What if she should!" Mrs. Albright laughed softly. "When I hear anybody coming I slip into the closet I have done that several times already! I do hope this letter will do Miss Twining good.
The quartette settled down to calm, now that the danger was over, but the talk still ran on Mrs. Dick. "She's been married twice before, hasn't she?" asked Miss Crilly. "Before what?" chuckled Mrs. Albright. "O-h! Did I? That's one on me, sure! Well, maybe it is 'before' who knows! What else could she be goin' off at half-past five with the milkman for?
The very ridiculousness of the whole affair was enough to make every one have a good time. The Winnebagos were there, and some of their brothers and cousins, and Dick Albright and Joe Lanning and several more boys from the class.
Arlington says ten bells How's the weather in your neck of the woods?" Instead the words were entirely different. She could not believe her eyes as she made them out. "Albright going through railway tunnel hold him up get notebook away keep Brewster out of game." Her senses reeled as she understood the meaning of the message.
She stood looking at it and wondering how soon it would be in working order, when Mrs. Albright came in. At once she saw the telephone, and stared in astonishment. Miss Sterling laughed. "No more midnight troubles!" "I am so surprised I don't know what to say." The visitor sat down. "It isn't usable yet," Miss Sterling told her.
"Is she killed?" they asked each other in terrified tones. "It's all my fault," said Dick Albright, nearly beside himself; "I should have known better than to let her go. She didn't think of the danger, but I did, and I should have prevented her. Was there ever such a fool as I?" Gladys and Migwan were kneeling beside Sahwah and opening her coat. "She is not dead," said Gladys, feeling her pulse.
Night found them in a town twenty miles north of the place from which they had started in the morning, and penniless. But Austin's friend knew what to do. His first inquiry was for the Salvation Army, and being directed to the home of Captain Albright, they knocked at his hospitable door. He invited them in and made them welcome, asking them few questions about themselves.
"She spoke of it again to-day," nodded Mrs. Albright. "She said she should somehow feel easier for you to keep them." "I hope Miss Sniffen won't rummage round and get hold of them first," returned Polly anxiously. "I guess she won't find 'em in a hurry!" chuckled Mrs. Albright. "They're in my room!"
An old, one-eyed black, with a bristly face, rested a Snider on his hip, the muzzle directed at Albright, who, in turn, covered him back with the Mauser. A couple of minutes of this tableau endured. The stricken fish rose to the surface or struggled half-stunned in the clear depths. "It's all right, boys," Grief said quietly. "Put down your guns and over the side with you. Mr.
Albright let her white nurse come over." "I'll go up at once," said the major anxiously. "Wait for me, Ellis, I'll be down in a few minutes." "Oh, Mr. Ellis," exclaimed Clara, coming toward him with both hands extended, "can nothing be done to stop this terrible affair?"
