When I was at the Home I used to say I'd rather live in an old kitchen if 't was mine, and now I've got the old kitchen I'd exchange back again in a jiffy! Do you s'pose she'd take me!" "Do you mean to " hesitated Mrs. Albright. "Yes, I mean to run away from the old man! I know you're shocked; but you haven't lived with Serono Tenney! He'll freeze me out next winter, sure as fate!

"I shouldn't wonder."
"I hope so," was the reply; "but call me if she should grow worse." "Yes, I will, though you couldn't do any good," she amended. "I could get a doctor for her." "I don't see how!"

They soon came back With their hands full of ice-cream cones, which they distributed and returned for more. "Isn't this cream lovely!" beamed Leonora to the back seat of the third car. "Delicious!" responded Mrs. Albright. "As good as I ever tasted!" declared Miss Major. Miss Castlevaine nibbled hers for a moment longer before she spoke.
"Pretty nearly," answered Polly, who had jumped from the car and was clasping the speaker's hand. Mrs. Tenney was soon surrounded by her Home associates and was so overwhelmed by the suddenness of the call that she almost forgot to invite them into the house. "Oh, we can't stay!" declared Mrs. Albright.
Captain Albright had been sorry for Austin in his perplexity and rejoiced with him in the good news, and released him from his part on Christmas Eve.
