"But they haven't gone to the hills yet," returned his mother. "Your father has ridden over to the Three Stars and Nails has gone to Tolopah." "Oh, goody!" exclaimed Horace. "We may be able to go, after all. Momsy, won't you try to make father take us?" It was only with this last question that Mrs.
Clara went to her mother and kissed her tenderly, whispering, "Courage, momsy, I've got something nice for you." Then she turned and said, "You are too excited, Belle. I'll do everything, and make the little we have go a great way. You would waste things.
"I'll stay now hand tend ter heverything," said Mrs. Wheaton, with a stout, cheery kindness that could not be disguised even in her whisper; but Clara awoke with a start and said, "What is it, momsy?" Then she sprang up, and after a brief glance at her mother threw herself with a long, low cry on the lifeless form. "Leave hall ter me," said Mrs.
Wilder understood the purpose of her son's eager inquiries, and the disclosure did not tend to quiet the anxiety she felt over the outcome of the pursuit. Yet she only said: "That is a question for your father to decide. I think, though, that you would want to stay here and protect me." "But you are in no danger, Momsy. Besides, Ned and Hop Joy are here."
They began to say "that boy with the funny name is considerable of a boy," and things like that. Mr. Day gave him a little money, although Gummy did not want to take that. "You treat your little brothers and sisters with it, Janice's father said laughing. "They didn't have the fun of seeing you put out the fire." "We-ell," said the thoughtful boy, "I'll see what Momsy says about it first."
Yet there was a wistfulness in her voice that caused Horace to look up, and, at the sight of her face, he left his chair, ran and put his arm around her neck, exclaiming: "If you want to call me baby, you can, Momsy! I don't care. Tom and Larry are the right stuff and they won't laugh." Ere either of the brothers could reply Hop Joy appeared. "Ned he goee pool," he announced.
"Oh, but I am afraid of him," sighed Amy. "He spoke so threateningly." "Yes, Momsy and Amy think he has something up his sleeve," said Gummy, carelessly. "But I think Abel Strout is licked, thanks to Mr. Day." Janice was very careful to repeat the particulars of this scene Gummy had so vividly related to her father in the evening.
"Come on, Momsy!" said her big boy. "I'm not afraid. If worse comes to worst, it won't be so long before I can support you and the kids, anyway." Now Janice thought that was a very nice speech and she remembered to tell daddy about it afterward. They went into the living room and Mr. Day introduced Mrs. Carringford to his companion. The latter looked hard at Gummy.
Bute opened her eyes and called, "Clara!" "Right here, momsy, dear, holding your hand." "It's strange I can't see you I feel so much better, too sort of rested. It does seem now as if I might get a little rest. Don't wake me child to give me anything and rest yourself." She smiled faintly as she closed her eyes, and very soon Clara could never wake her again.
Don't kick about the old name before Momsy. You see, I guess Uncle John wanted them to name a boy after him; and maybe they thought if they did so it might do me some good sometime." "Oh, Gummy! That your uncle would give you money because you were named after him?" "Yes," said Gummy, nodding. "I don't know. But " "And your uncle's never been heard from? You never saw him, even?"
