Willa returned to her home in a more despondent mood even than before, and a telephone call from Dan late in the evening did not tend to raise her spirits. "I've canvassed every hospital and institootion in the five boroughs!" he announced. "I even tried the morgue, but there ain't hide nor hair of the old lady. Looks like the earth might have opened and swallowed her up.
It warn't a State institootion, you see; just a kind of a charity one, run by the deacons of the church; I ain't got much use for charity." "I shouldn't think you would have," he exclaimed. "But it's all behind you now, Lou. We made fourteen miles to-day from Highvale or will have when we walk down the hill to Riverburgh to-morrow, and it is only sixty miles further to New York."
"They're real comfortable, honestly. I'm just stiff " Jim groaned. "I suppose they will have to do until we reach the next town, but you should have told me." "I kin take care of myself," Lou asserted. "I've walked in pretty near as bad as these in the institootion. We'd better get along to where there's some houses 'cause it looks to me like a storm was comin' up."
You ken tell 'em I've come out in spots, and you reckon I'm going down with small-pox." "That would not be true." "Oh, shucks!" shrugged Cornelia. "Troth is a fine institootion, but, like most old things, it gives out at times, and then there's nothing for it but to fall back upon good, new-fashioned imagination." Miss Briskett rose majestically from her seat and left the room.
They seemed deeply impressed by the remark, and wantid to know if I had seen the Grate Orgin? This celebrated institootion of learnin is pleasantly situated in the Bar-room of Parker's in School street, and has poopils from all over the country. I had a letter yes'd'y, by the way, from our mootual son, Artemus, Jr., who is at Bowdoin College in Maine.
He was engaged in a mental calculation as to the amount of the deduction he should make under the head of "demage to the institootion," this depending somewhat on that of the "pecooniary compensation" she might have received for her services as the friend of Elsie Venner. So Helen slid back at once into her routine, the same faithful, patient creature she had always been.
He paid her large sums of money for her time, more than she could expect to get in any other institootion for the edoocation of female youth. A deduction from her selary would be necessary, in case she should retire from the sphere of her dooties for a season. He should be put to extry expense, and have to perform additional labors himself. He would consider of the matter.
The early managers of this institootion were a bad lot, and their crimes were trooly orful; but I can't sob for those who died four or five hundred years ago. If they was my own relations I couldn't. It's absurd to shed sobs over things which occurd during the rain of Henry the Three. Let us be cheerful," I continnered. "Look at the festiv Warders, in their red flannil jackets.
"Why, at the institootion," she responded, as though surprised that he had not already guessed. "I ain't ever been anywhere else; I've always been a orphin." Partners For a moment James Botts turned his head away lest she see the deep red flood of shame which had suffused his face.
We shall miss her very much; but it is a good cause, and she shall go, and I shall trust that Providence will enable us to spare her without permanent demage to the interests of the Institootion."
