"My cabin is forty-two," said Marjorie, who was once more a tourist, on her way upstairs. "Here is a steward," said Delight, "he will show us the way." The steward was invisible, but either of the girls spoke in his voice, as occasion demanded. "This way, madam," said Midget, as she led Delight to the door of her own room. "This is your stateroom, and I hope it will suit you."
Haswell called for whiskey, and was served by a waiter in a spotted apron, whose dank hair fell over a sallow and oily face. Save for himself, there were only four other customers. In a corner partition a slovenly woman in bedraggled finery berated the man who sat with bloated eyes across from her. The waiter looked on sardonically. At another table were two derelicts from one of the Garden side shows. A truculent and beady-eyed dwarf whose face hardly showed above the boards was brow-beating a cringing giant of unbelievable immensity. "You crabbed my act, you big stiff," shrilled the midget truculently and his huge vis-
I won't have you shy with me any more. Is that understood? I'm not an ogre." "I think you are rather," murmured Dinah. He bent over her, his lips upon her neck. "You midget! And you think I'm going to devour you? Well, perhaps I shall some day if you go on running away. There's a terrible threat! Now hold up your head, Daphne Daphne and let me have that kiss!"
But in this they were not very successful, as the kittens liked the balls so much they played with any one they could catch. When Mr. Maynard came home, true to his word, he sent Marjorie a gift. The bell rang, and there on the doorstep lay a parcel. It proved to contain two picture puzzles. "Oh, goody!" cried Midget. "These are just what I wanted.
Marjorie's were nearly all from Rockwell, and though there were none from any of her family, that did not bother her, for she knew they would come in the afternoon for the "party." At four o'clock the "party" came. Midget and Delight, watching from the window, saw James and Thomas come across the street, bringing between them a great big something, all wrapped in white tissue paper.
"What are we going to do?" said Molly. "If I let go of you, you'll go smash into the water, and I'll fly up to the top!" "Keep hold of me, then," replied Midget, who had a wonderful power of adapting herself to a situation. And so the two girls, each with one hand grasping a bucket chain and their other hands tightly clasped, stood face to face half-way down the old well.
Merry, madcap Midget became a sober-faced little girl, who was all the more pathetic because she tried to be cheerful. Mrs. Maynard felt worried about the matter, and proposed to her husband that she should take Marjorie, and go away for a trip somewhere. "No," said Mr. Maynard; "let her fight it out. It's hard for her, but it's doing her real good, and bringing out the best side of her nature.
In all my public career I've never met a person more honest in business or more fearless with thugs and undesirables. Ten devils couldn't stop him if he thought he was right and even a midget could, and did, shame him out of some of his atrocious efforts.
"I went to church with Mrs. Lannarck, went to Sunday School, and took part in the entertainments. They insisted I was a drawing card and they featured the appearance of a midget on the program. It was all right by me if it met the approval of the Lannarcks. "During the war, the committee featured me in the Bond Drives. There was a big fellow I teamed up with, named George Ruark.
She was not specially interested in her book, but Kitty had gone to see Dorothy Adams, and King was off somewhere, so she had no one to play with. Presently Sarah entered. "There's somebody wants you on the telephone, Miss Marjorie," she said, and Midget jumped up, wondering who it could be. "Hello," she said, as she took the receiver. "Hello," said a pleasant voice; "is this Marjorie Maynard?"
