'Ah! cried Dollie, with a shudder; 'but how it would have hurt you if the Swedes had caught you! 'Dollie is quite right, said the mistress of the house. 'My late husband used to say the Swedes came from the same place where the Turks and the Tartars live, and that that was why they were so cruel.
There was something strange and unusual about his returning the borrowed cloak at that late hour. The whole thing was so unlike O'mie. "They've killed him and put him in the river," wailed Dollie Gentry. "I'm afraid he's been foully dealt with. They suspected he knew too much," and Dr. Hemingway bowed his head in sorrow.
As I looked at that little sum in my calloused hand, I said, 'Dollie, it's the first honest money you ever earned; doesn't it make you feel good? "Before long my Salvation Army friend was called away to another field of labor. I promised to write to her, and to this day I am sorry that through my own carelessness I lost track of her.
"Yes, we had, mamma; but I always get tired of loving dollie after awhile." "Do you, dear? Tell me why?" "O, because she never loves me back again." "And is that why you love me?" "That is one why, mamma; but not the first one, or the best one." "And what is the first, and best?"
Harvey was melted not only by the rescue of his sister, but by the remembrance of the dreadful injustice done Hugh O'Hara and his friends, when he allowed himself to think they had taken part in the disappearance of Dollie, who, through all the talk, continued sleeping.
Springvale will turn out to-night some," Grandpa Mead declared. And so while I revelled in a home-coming, thankful to be alone with my own people, the best folks on earth were waiting and dodging about, but courteously abstaining from rushing in on our sacred home rights. In the middle of the afternoon Cam Gentry called to Dollie to come to his aid.
She was always afraid some one was deceiving or going to deceive her, and would often make the remark, 'No one ever gets the second chance with me, no indeed. And I used to say to myself, 'I wonder what she would do if she found out who Dollie was? She was a Christian. No, I'll take that back. She called herself one, and was the secretary of the ladies' aid of her church.
"They was two others in checker clothes and dip-lid caps, and they wasn't native sons. They acted like sons of I'd hate to tell you what, Miss to the chief dollie in the show. They stole her beau and tied him to the S. P. tracks; kind of loose, though. She didn't seem to care. She jest stood around chewin' gum and rollin' her lamps at the head guy.
Surely there are many you know and would like to help lead better lives. It is in my heart to assist them, Dollie. Let us together look some of them up. I realize that few, comparatively speaking, attempt this line of work. They think it is too humiliating, degrading, demoralizing, but it is what our Savior did whilst on earth, and I have vowed to follow him."
I pictured the judgment-day with that woman who turned Dollie away being interrogated by the King of kings, and the terrible doom awaiting all who did not repent and forsake sin; but, apparently making no impression, I soon left, unable to proceed further with the work that day because of the great burden with which this poor girl's story had weighted me.
