"Yes; that's my idea of teaching botany. Text-books are so dry and dull, I think." "So do I," said Midge; "I looked in a botany book once, and it was awful poky. Tell us more, Miss Hart." "Not to-day, dearie; it's one o'clock, and school is over for to-day." "One o'clock!" both girls exclaimed at once; "it can't be!"

"Yes, dearie, yes, we'll come out under the plum tree, we will," echoed Mrs. Prettyman. "See, Nursie, take my arm, I'll help you out into the warm sunshine," Robinette said. They progressed very slowly, the old woman leaning with all her weight upon the arm of her strong young helper. Then under the flickering shade of the tree they sat down together for their talk.

"Hurry up with it," said Victoire in urgent, imperative tones; and Charolais left the room at a run. "Oh, what a life you lead!" said Victoire, or, to be exact, she wailed it.

"For God's sake, Izzy, tell me or I'll go mad! Slow, dearie, so Renie can think and listen and help you. She's with you, darling, and nothing can hurt you. Now begin, Izzy, and go slow.

I would just like to see any other man or woman try it," and she looked defiantly both at Andrew and Christina. "I ran the risk of losing my berth to come here," said Jamie. "More fool, I. I have been called 'thief' and 'loon' for doing it. I came for your sake, Christina, and now you must go with me for my sake. Come away, my dearie, and there is none that shall part us more."

In the second place her mental attitude toward the whole idea was not conducive to aid or comfort, for at her side stalked always the Harrington pride of name and race, and on her lips was the constant moan: "Oh, Pollyanna, Pollyanna, to think of the Harrington homestead ever coming to this!" "It isn't, dearie," Pollyanna at last soothed laughingly. But Mrs.
