"No!" was the answer, almost fierce in its utterance. "She isn't sick. Don't be a fool." "What's foolish about that? I didn't know but she might be. There's mumps in town and " "She's all right; so shut up, will you! There, Ase!" he added. "I'm the fool myself. Don't mind my barkin'; I don't mean it. I am about sick, I cal'late. Be better to-morrer, maybe." "What's got into you?
Miss King gave her a hand glass before replying. Lois sat up in bed and looked at herself. Both sides of her face were swollen. "Mumps!" she exclaimed. "Oh, what a sight I am," she added, laughing. Polly and Betty came up to inquire for her, after breakfast, and heard the news. "Mumps!" they both said at once. And Polly cried. "Why, Betty, that's what was wrong with the Whitehead team."
Billy theatrically touched a distended cheek. "These here is mumps," he said impressively; "an' when you got 'em you can make grown folks do perzactly what you want 'em to. Aunt Minerva's in the kitchen right now makin' me a 'lasses custard if I'll be good an' stay right in the house an' don't come out here in the yard an' don't give you the mumps.
Dear Letitia, The appearance of mumps in a small family of fourteen like yours, is indeed one of those dispensations which teach us how mysterious are the ways!

He saw at once that Mrs. Glegg was a bit of game worth running down, and longed to be at the sport; "we'll stay out upo' the gravel here, Mumps and me will.
All of the Royer boys noticed that Dan Baxter did not turn up at roll call, nor did the bully put in an appearance that night. "Got a day off," said Mumps, but that was all he could tell. Late on the following day Tom was walking toward the gymnasium when he caught sight of Baxter just entering the school grounds. He at once ran toward the bully.
There was a month of school yet; an especially bitter thought, for had he not lately been out of school a week with mumps; and during that very week had not the teacher's father died, so that he was cheated out of the resulting three-days' vacation, other children being free while he lay on a bed of pain if you tasted pickles or any sour thing?
From home they had been sent to Putnam Hall, a military academy of high standing, and here they had made many friends, including those already mentioned, and several enemies, among the latter being one Dan Baxter, who was known as the school bully, and John Fenwick, better known as Mumps, the bully's toady. They had also made a bitter enemy of Josiah Crabtree, the headmaster of the Hall.
They thought they'd take it home with them; They didn't know, you see, The mumpy germs were waiting there As slyly as could be. But when they took the cup, alas! Those eight germs gave eight jumps And landed in those eight maids' throats, And gave them each the mumps." The months of March and April had come and gone. The days had passed in unvarying monotony for the most part.
They likewise indulge in chamomile tea and such-like compounds, and rub themselves on the slightest provocation with camphorated spirits and other lotions applicable to mumps, sore-throat, rheumatism, or lumbago.
