To that end she set her front door hospitably open, drew two rockers out upon the porch, laid a palm-leaf fan in one, and deposited herself in the other. It was nearly an hour before Miss Clegg returned from town. She appeared very warm, but pleased with herself for having gone. As she sank down in the chair and began to agitate the fan, Mrs. Lathrop's eyes fairly gleamed with anticipation.
Just here a piercing scream was heard from across the way. "My " ejaculated Mrs. Lathrop. Susan sprang to her feet and ran to the door; as she opened it Eliza Emily was seen flying down the Clegg steps. "What is it?" screamed Miss Clegg from Mrs. Lathrop's steps. "Elijah dropped his pen," screamed Eliza Emily in reply, "an' when he reached for it he fell out o' bed an' tore loose."
Glancing at the door, I saw indeed, to my surprise, that it stood slightly ajar; hereupon I reached out to open it when it swung wide and my man Clegg stood before us. "I saw you approaching, sir," he exclaimed, bowing us in.
"Then, ah drive me back at once. Let those boxes alone. I I've important business at home which I'd forgotten." Clegg gave a vinous wink. "Lor, yer at it agin," he said with admiration.

He seems so frank an' open, too in other ways than that box.
Rosie was living away up north on the McQueen farm, a new, practical, careful money-making little Rosie. And Martha Ellen Robertson even was gone. Martha Ellen was married and now lived on an Alberta ranch and had many gold watches and all the dresses she could desire. The only familiar sight in Forest Glen for Elizabeth was Noah Clegg.
Bobby Rigby came running to the head of the stairs, followed by Jane and another young woman. James Bansemer could not have been expected to know it, but Rigby and Miss Clegg had come to tell these friends that they were to be married in December. "Kill me, eh? Not if you can't do a better job than you did the other night. Here, you reporter, ask Mr.
The letter which Susan Clegg had mailed to her cousin "Marion Prim, Knoxville," did actually reach the hands of the person for whom it was intended, and the evening of the second day after brought an answer which the two friends studied together in a mutual intellectual darkness.
Wully Johnstone's Johnny followed by opening the gate for Sissy Clegg one morning, which was quite gratuitous, for Sissy always climbed the fence anyway. Soon the older boys were vying with each other in acts of gallantry. The spirit of chivalry had been awakened and it took effect in a way the teacher had not anticipated.
