Bobbie's telephone report to Captain Sawyer, explaining his absence from the downtown station house was greeted with commendation. "That's all right, Burke, go as far as you like. A few more cases like that and you'll be on the honor list for the Police Parade Day. Clean it up as soon as you can," retorted his superior.
"Those roses," said she. "Did you like them?" said Phyllis; "they were as fresh as fresh. I made the needle-book, but it was Bobbie's present." She skipped joyously as she spoke. "Here's your basket," said the Post-office woman. She went in and brought out the basket. It was full of fat, red gooseberries. "I dare say Perks's children would like them," said she.
Oh, please let me have the only little happiness left me!" Jinnie drew away, almost hypnotized. "I can't be a a good woman unless I have Theodore," Molly moaned. "You're very young " Her eyes sought the girl's, who was struggling to her feet. "For Bobbie's sake, Jinnie, for for "
A small, trustful smile appeared at the corners of Bobbie's mouth. "I know you do, Jinnie," he agreed. "Tell it to me." Jinnie pressed her lips on his hair. "And if I tell you, kiddie, you'll not cry any more or worry Peggy?" "I'll be awful good, and not cry once," promised the boy, settling himself expectantly. "Now, then, listen hard!"
Then she played and played and played, and ever in her heart to the rhythm of her music were the words, "His angels shall have charge over thee." Suddenly there came to her a great belief that out of her faith and Lafe's faith would come Bobbie's good, and Peg's good, and especially the good of the man shut up in the little cell. When the boy grew sleepy, Jinnie made him ready for bed.
Without comment the woman leaned over, and the boy's fingers wavered over her wrinkled countenance. "You're awful sick, dearie," he grieved, pressing against her. "Can Blind Bobbie do anything?" Peg dropped her arm around him. "I'm afraid," she whispered. "I wish Lafe and Jinnie was here." One long shiver shook Bobbie's slender body. That Peg could ever be afraid was a new idea to him.
"That's for you," whispered Sally to Bobbie with a very broad nudge, but Bobbie's eyes answered with that look pet animals throw out when in doubt of a master's exact meaning. Then, there were cited the highest averages, and the first name called was that of Miss Sarah Howland! As Miss Rutledge read the name she looked up from her reports.
Yesterday it was Bobbie's story of how a mother adopted a little boy. You remember, the mother had to have a baby to fill a big empty space, so she went to a house where some lost kiddies were and found just the one that fitted in and and but this is Ann's story to-day!
If you're a man you mustn't miss it, because it'll be a warning to you; and if you're a woman you won't want to, because it's all about how a girl made a man feel pretty well fed up with things. If you're a recent acquaintance of Bobbie's, you'll probably be surprised to hear that there was a time when he was more remarkable for the weakness of his memory than anything else.
There was a twinkle thrown in with this, and Jane next piled compliments on Sally. Never were there two "satisfactory" students so manifestly unhappy. No one could miss the nervous manner Sally tried so hard to hide, nor yet the heightened color in Bobbie's cheeks when she flatly refused to comment on the surprise. "Queer," observed Dolly Lloyd.
