"Den how dey get in, huh?" demanded Olga, and threw another lump with terrific force. There was a howl, higher and more blood-curdling than any that had heretofore assailed their ears. One big cat scrambled up the wall, and up the window panes, seeking an exit. One of the creature's legs dragged limply. "Olga Cedarstrom!" shrieked Janice, "you have broken that poor cat's leg."
Suddenly she uttered a little exclamation. Gummy glanced ahead, too. "Yes," he said, "that's the woman. That's the one I saw that night at Stella Latham's. "It it is Olga Cedarstrom," murmured Janice. Gummy drew the old horse to a stop. Janice leaped down. The Swedish woman turned and looked into Janice's blazing countenance. Her own dull face lit up and she actually smiled.
All this wonderful fortune for the Carringfords continued to create so much excitement at the Day house, as well as in the little cottage in Mullen Lane, that for several days Janice scarcely thought about Olga Cedarstrom and the lost treasure-box. For out of the good luck of the Carringfords, bad fortune for the Days suddenly raised its head. Mrs.
I think they believe Latham wants to find the girl to make her pay for that broken dish, so they are less willing to talk about her than might otherwise be the case." "Just the same," sighed Janice, "I do wish Gummy had known just how our Olga looked." "How is that?" "Then he would have known for sure whether it was Olga Cedarstrom or not.
Latham would make trouble about the broken dish. But the Johnsons said her name was not Cedarstrom." "Mercy, what a name!" laughed Bertha. "Just the same, there is something about that girl that Stella knows, and that she said you would give a good deal to know." "Why, I can't imagine " "That's just it," said Bertha, quickly. "It sounded so mysterious.
Whether or not the Swedish girl, Olga Cedarstrom, had carried the valuables away with her, Janice felt all the time that she had only herself to blame because of the loss. And she realized that the loss of the packet of letters had saddened daddy dreadfully. "If I had not been careless! If I had put the box back into the wall-safe before I went to bed!
She would have as little to do with her as it was possible, considering that she had to go to school with her. That was at first. Then her anger had cooled. Now it was aflame again. But if Stella knew positively that the Swedish girl who had visited Mrs. Johnson had been married, and therefore her name was no longer Cedarstrom, Janice was determined to find it out.
The lumps of soft coal Olga Cedarstrom had thrown at the cats had made an awful mess of the place, Janice very well knew. As she turned the corner into Knight Street there was Arlo Weeks, Junior, just ahead of her. Arlo Junior, the cause of the morning's trouble! Arlo Junior, the cause of Olga's leaving the Days in the lurch!
For the Days, father and daughter, were dependent on hired service, and such service in the form of Olga Cedarstrom was about as incapable and stupid as fate had yet produced. Having caught the first glimpse of that mischievous youngster, Arlo Weeks, Junior, with the cats, Janice raised her window softly as far as the lower sash would go, to peer out at the strange procession.
"Didn't you say she might be the very girl who ran away from your house?" "Yes! I did think so. But it was not the same. Her friends said this girl was not named Cedarstrom." "Well, who'd want such a name, anyway?" laughed another of the party. Stella was herself one of those present; but at this time she was not speaking to Janice. She laughed maliciously when Janice Day had gone.
