You see it gave him a chance to explain how you got in the whack, and I have been obliged to listen to intermittent lectures on the manly art of self-defence all afternoon, first from him, then from Jappy. I have a headache, and no means of defence. He admits that he deserved it, but I am not surprised. Colly is a sporting chap. He hasn't a mean drop of blood in his body.
"I hear Jappy," cried Polly, in a glad voice, "and Ben oh, good!" as a sound of rushing footsteps was heard over the veranda steps, and down the long hall. The door was thrown suddenly open, and Jasper plunged in, his face flushed with excitement, and after him Ben, looking a little as he did when Phronsie was lost, while Prince squeezed panting in between the two boys.
"Oh, Phronsie's been going so," said Polly, looking up at the little figure above them, which had nearly reached the top in delight, "that I can't stop her. She has really, Jappy, almost all the morning; you can't think how crazy she is over it." "Is that so?" said Jasper, with a little laugh. "Hulloa, Phronsie, is it nice?" and he tossed a kiss to the little girl, and then sat down by Polly.
"Oh," said Phronsie, and leaned back satisfied, while Polly gave the order, which was presently followed by Jane with a well-filled tray. "Now," said Jappy, when he heard the account of the adventure, "I say that letter ought to go to your mother, Polly." "Oh," said Polly, "it would scare mamsie most to death, Jappy!"
The Jappy said when he met the diplomats on the subject of coolie immigration that he would prove himself the partner of the white man at the world's council boards or step back. Is it a menace or a portent? Certainly not a menace, when accepted as a matter of fact. Only the fact must be faced and realized, and the new chessman's moves recognized.
Before they got through they had quite a bundle of invitations and pleadings; for each of the three boys insisted on doing his part, so that when they were finally done up in an enormous envelope and put into Mr. King's hands, he told them with a laugh that there was no use for Jappy and himself to go, as those were strong enough to win almost anybody's consent.
Pepper; "cause I can get the yarn cheap now. I saw some down at the store yesterday I could have at half price." "I don't believe anybody'll have as good a Christmas as we shall," cried Polly, pasting on a bit of trimming to the gayest doll's dress; "no, not even Jappy." An odd little smile played around Mrs. Pepper's mouth, but she said not a word, and so the fun and the work went on.
"Jappy Frothingham!" she echoed joyously. "But I haven't heard that name for twenty years. And you're the boy whose father was a doctor, and who helped us build our Indian camp, and who had the frog, and fell off the roof, and killed the rattlesnake." "And you're the girl from Washington who could speak French, and who put that stuff on my freckles and wouldn't let 'em drown the kittens."
"What?" asked Phronsie in intense interest slipping down out of Polly's arms, and crowding up close to Jasper's side. "What did he, Jasper?" "Oh-ho, how funny!" laughed Van, while little Dick burst right out, "Japser!" "Be still," said Jappy warningly, while Phronsie stood surveying them all with grave eyes.
Beebe in town where Phronsie got her shoes, you know; that is, if mamsie can," she added, remembering how very busy her mother would be. "I'll carry them myself," said Jasper; "we're going to stay over till the next day, you know." "O!" cried Polly, radiant as a rose, "will you, really, Jappy? you're so good!"
