Other eyes than Alfy's followed the pointing finger and a groan of horror burst from more than one throat. Indeed, and all too surely, Molly had "hit something, too!" Night fell on San Leon; and the searching party which had gone out in the morning, sure of prompt success, returned tired and dispirited. But their places were immediately taken by fresh recruits, Mr.
Ford?" demanded that young person, eager not only to see Wun Sing because he was one more familiar acquaintance but because she wished to settle a few old scores. "I'm so glad! I'll make him toe the mark here, see if I don't. Come on, Dolly Doodles, he's an old friend of yours, too." Alfy's eagerness infected even anxious Dorothy and gave an agreeable turn to the thoughts of all.
She was bravely trying to overcome the sudden loneliness which possessed her and in this was helped by Alfy's warning: "Dolly Doodles! Take your head out of your soup plate! Are you crazy? There goes your ribbon right into the mess!" The head was lifted so suddenly that the ribbon flew off and fell into the dish and its owner's tears ended in a giggle.
Ma'am Puss curled herself at Alfy's feet and purred herself to sleep so soundly that a tame mouse, the girl's own especial pet, came out from hiding and scampered merrily about the kitchen floor.
For as yet no news had come of the latter and the former had almost dropped out of thought save now and then in Alfy's, and always in faithful Dorothy's. Now that they were better riders and had become what their teacher called "pals" with their horses, they were daily given larger liberty.
But eighteen was a long way off as yet, and though sometimes a wonder as to where she should get the pledged one hundred dollars did cross Madam Sturtevant's mind, she put the thought aside as soon as possible. Sufficient unto that day would be its own evil, and there had been days in the past far more evil than Alfy's coming of age could ever be.
It hardly knows how, anyway. What? What do you say?" "I say look a there! Jim! Jim!" Dorothy snatched the cover from Alfy's hand and there, surely enough, was the letter D done in the curious handwriting which James Barlow had acquired; quite different both girls knew from that of any other they had ever seen. Then they stared at one another, not knowing whether to be glad or sorry.
