The lights were turned on, and the silhouettes, changed by simple magic into laughing boys and girls, passed among the people distributing their eatables. Every one had a word of praise for them. The Atwoods, for whom the effort had been made, said little, but shook hands almost tearfully with each performer.
"The Ethels did begin it some time ago; I caught them at it," he accused, shaking his finger at his sister and cousin. "I told the girls we had been taking flowers to the Old Ladies' Home," confessed Ethel Brown. "O, you have! I didn't know that! I did find out that you were supplying the Atwoods down by the bridge with sweetpeas." "There have been such oodles," protested Ethel Blue. "Of course.
"Some time during Christmas week we ought to cheer up the old couple by the bridge," urged Roger. "The same people we chopped wood for?" asked Tom. "The Atwoods yes. It gets on my nerves to see them sitting there so dully, every day when I pass by on my way to school." "We certainly won't forget them.
So far as he had gone in this case, Morgan was confronted with two factors; the connection of this man with the case, and the bearing which Miss Atwood and her father might have upon it. Without doubt, some singular conditions surrounded the Atwoods, but his knowledge of these was still too vague to give him even a basis for reasoning.
The yarns were not elegant, but, as he told them, they were funny. Mabel Colton laughed as heartily as the rest of us. She appeared to be in fine spirits.

I reckon I could lay my hands on a few extra thousands 'most any time for a profitable deal." "Certainly, Pink," said Johnny, pleasantly. "If I strike anything of the sort I'll let you in with pleasure."
When Miss Colton, looking surprisingly presentable considering that she, too, was wearing borrowed apparel four sizes too large for her made her appearance, we sat down to a simple meal which, I think, was the most appetizing I ever tasted.
