'Yes, mawm, said she very shortly; 'but I guess I can manage to get along by myself." I did not dare own up to the advice I had given, but I saw that matters must be hastened. Having business in Chicago about that time, I visited almost every hospital in the city, telling Mary's story in my most dramatic newspaper style.
"Then you are one of the trustees of the House of Refuge?" gasped another feminine speaker. "Yes. Won't you come in?" "No, thank you. We've just come to tell you about this young girl who has run to us for protection." "We're school-teachers, mawm." "She's in my class, and she hasn't a friend in the city and knew nowhere else to go."
"Yes, mawm; Sister Stella was always very good about that; helped me with the big words, and often wrote the whole thing out for me.

"Mary, you're not going to the rink to-night!" in Belle's most imploring tone. "Yes, mawm, I am. Lend me your wrench, Watty." "Mary, I positively forbid you to go to the rink!" "Well, I do think that's just too mean for anything. Every girl in town goes."
'I've done with that now, she said; 'did very well, too. 'And what are you going to do next? 'I dunno. Whatever turns up. I've got an offer to go to Chicago to sell a book there. I caught her by the arm as if I'd been the chief of police. 'Mary, will you please go to my house and wait there for me till I come? 'Oh, yes, mawm, if you want me to, and off she went, asking no questions.
