Every one of them loves the old man God bless him! He was a good father to me." "I would love him, too, Sandy, if I did not see him eating my children's bread. And neither he nor they get enough.
"Look, Uncle Tad, you've turned on her eyes!" And, surely enough, the electric eyes of Sallie Malinda were glowing brightly. Uncle Tad must have stepped on the switch button in the toy's back and turned it on. "But I guess she's all right," went on Sue, as she turned off the switch and then turned it on again to see that it was working as it should. "You didn't hurt her, Uncle Tad," she said.
The air is a-comin' from that quarter, an' chances are we'll find the hole sumwhar over yonder." "I think I see it," said Frank, eagerly. "Just above that little spur there's a black looking crevice in the rock." "As dark as my hat," added Hank; "an' I reckon as how that's whar Sallie lives when she's t' home. Now t' invite ourselves int' her leetle parlor, boys!"

As it was, she only exclaimed, "What?" in an intensely interested tone. "Why, look here! I brought it along to show you."
Then a scratching sound was heard on the stump, and who should come up it but Sister Sallie, with Dr. Possum. The doctor said "He!" and he said "Hum!" and he said "Ahem!" Then he felt Billie's pulse and made him put out his tongue. Then Dr. Possum exclaimed: "Why, this little squirrel isn't sick at all! No, sir! Not at all. My goodness me; no, indeed! Why, the very idea! Sick? I guess not!"

How she really felt toward Nan, the latter did not know; nor did this uncertainty bother her much. Now that her father's trouble with Mr. Ravell Bulson was cleared up, Nan did not worry over anything but the seemingly total disappearance of the runaways, Sallie and Celia or, as they preferred to be known, Lola Montague and Marie Fortesque.
