Janice Day was sorry for them, but this was a case in which she positively could not "do something" to help. She could only offer her sympathy. During the days immediately succeeding the fire and the Carringford's poignant trouble, Janice Day had a mental problem to solve which occupied her thoughts a good part of the time. Daddy's broken leg was getting along nicely.
Janice had no answer for this; but she determined to tell daddy the particulars of Mrs. Carringford's trouble. Besides, she had in her mind, and had had for a long time, a desire to bring her father and Amy's mother together. She wanted them to know each other, and for a very definite reason.
Janice found herself clinging tightly to Amy Carringford's hand and Amy clinging tightly to hers, as the rubbish wagon rattled away with Delia and her grim father perched on the high seat, while the black oilcloth bag rattled around in the otherwise empty body of the cart. "Oh, Janice!" gasped Amy at last. "Oh, Amy!" rejoined her friend. "And no dinner for daddy when he comes home!"
Carringford's two older children, Gummy and Amy, for he had seen them both at the house. But he had had no idea, in spite of Janice's enthusiastic praise, that Mrs, Carringford was quite the woman she was. He saw now a very gentle, pretty woman whose soft, wavy hair was becoming prematurely gray, with an intelligent countenance and eyes that fixed one's attention almost immediately. Here, Mr.

"A correspondent of mine in Cleveland has written me about a family of Carringfords, and I shouldn't be surprised if these were the same people. If they are " "What's all the mystery, Payne?" asked Broxton Day, with sudden interest, for he saw that the lawyer meant more than he had said. "If this is Alexander Carringford's widow, I don't know but my news is in two pieces." "Meaning?"
Carringford's legal adviser in regard to this affair?" I oh " "Oh, Mr. Day!" interjected Mrs. Carringford, "a lawyer's services cost so much." "This man is my own lawyer," said Mr. Day promptly. "I assure you that he will look into this suit without charging you much, Mrs. Carringford. If Mr. Schrimpe "
She related the circumstances attached to the coming party and Amy Carringford's reason for not being able to go. "And you ought to see Amy in that pink and white dress. She's just too sweet for anything!" "All right, daughter. I agree to give your little friend the frock if her mother is willing." "I just made Mrs. Carringford agree," said Janice, bobbing her head earnestly.
"And he says there is always a silver lining to the very blackest cloud. Now I know he's right. You are the silver lining to this cloud, Mrs. Carringford you really, truly are!" If it had not been for Mrs. Carringford's presence in the house, this experience certainly would have been a very hard one for Janice Day.
