However, there was no call for effort on her part. Like a tigress the Japanese girl, Cio-Cio-San, sprang at the man of her own country. "You traitor!" she gasped. "You have betrayed me, your fellow-countryman, and murdered my friend!" and she drove her dagger into his breast to the hilt. Mazie closed her eyes and sat down dizzily.
She thrust a bill in the driver's hand, then raced up the steps and into the forbidding police station. A sergeant looked up from the desk as she entered. "Johnny Thompson," she said excitedly. "I want to see Johnny Thompson!" "I'd like to myself, miss," he said smiling. "There never was a featherweight like him. But he's dead." "Dead?" Mazie caught at her throat. "Sure. Didn't you read about it?
"I'll go and look her up," Van Alen offered; but he found that he was not to go alone, for Otto was waiting for him at the gate. "I ain't got nothin' else to do," the boy said; "everything is held up by the rain." It was when they came to the little stream that Van Alen had forded the night before that they saw Mazie Wetherell. "I can't get across," she called from the other side.
"But we're all glad it wasn't put to the test," Mazie observed, as she looked up at the clear sky with the greatest of pleasure.
Even the children seemed to understand that the one unpardonable sin was to let the blind boys on the porch know that they were the objects of any sort of interest. One day Mazie Sanborn came. She brought a new book for Mrs. McGuire to read an attention she certainly had never before bestowed on John McGuire's mother.
Well, now he's blind. An' if you think he's forgot what Dorothy Parkman said, you'd oughter been with me when she came to see him with Mazie Sanborn one day, or even when they just called up to him on the piazza one mornin'." "Well, well, very likely," conceded the man irritably; "but I still must remind you, Susan, that all this was some time ago. Keith's got more sense now."
Now, climb up into that tree, girls, because they'll be here in a minute or so, I'm afraid!" "Mabel first, please, Max!" said Mazie, as all of them hastened over to the tree that had been selected as the harbor of refuge on account of the fact that its lower branches seemed to invite an ascent.
"Why, Keith Burton, what's the matter?" laughed Mazie. "You look as if you'd seen a ghost. I mean oh, forgive that word, Keith," she broke off in light apology. "I'm always forgetting, and talking as if you could really SEE. But you looked so funny, and you brought out that 'Dorothy Parkman' with such a surprised air. Just as if you didn't ever call her that in the old school days, Keith Burton!
Among those in the throng was Mazie Mortimer, Johnny Thompson's one-time pal. She had gone to the theatre alone. When Johnny was in Chicago, she had gone with him, but now no one seemed to quite take his place. As she hastened to the elevated station the shouts of the newsboys struck her ears. At first she heard only those two electrifying words, "Johnny Thompson."
Keith told Susan that afternoon that if Mrs. McGuire did not keep people away from that porch when he was out there with John, he would not answer for the consequences. Susan told Mrs. McGuire, and Mrs. McGuire told Mazie Sanborn, at the same time returning the loaned book all of which did not tend to smooth Miss Mazie's already ruffled feelings. To Dorothy Mazie expressed her mind on the matter.
