Its door was open and Arthur could see the whole of the interior. Dory and a young woman were standing by a bench at the window, were bending over something in which they seemed to be absorbed. Not until Arthur stepped upon the doorsill did they lift their heads. "Hello, Artie!" cried Dory, coming forward with extended hand. Arthur was taking off his hat and bowing to the young woman.

No, no, Artie, I shall stop here, and stick to my last, my dear boy, stick to my last, to the end of all things. 'You shall do nothing of the sort, Daddy; that I'm determined upon, Arthur cried vehemently. 'I'm not going to let you do any more shoemaking.

"She's afraid she's goin' to lose her Artie. Oh, these Irish mothers! they'd kape a boy till his hairs were gray, an' mek him belave it too, if they cud. I never saw but wan mother crazy to marry her son.

"The object of this meeting is, to vote on whether we'll go into the city to-morrow and get some stuff we'll need up at camp. "Artie has got a list of the things we need, and they add up to four dollars and twenty-two cents. If each fellow chips in a quarter, we'll have enough. Each fellow that wants to go has to pay his own railroad fare Alf is going with me, so he should worry.
It did not leak out until supper that Sam was coming. Warham said to Susan, "While Ruth's looking out for Artie, you and I'll have a game or so of chess, Brownie." Susan colored violently. "What?" laughed Warham. "Are you going to have a beau too?" Susan felt two pairs of feminine eyes pounce hostile eyes, savagely curious.
