"Oh, Tom!" she murmured, clasping her hands, "I don't want to think of it. If this awful war would only end!" "It's the only war so far that hasn't ended," he said. "And I have a feeling, anyway, that it may not last long. Henri and I have got to hurry back to finish it up. Leave it to us, Ruth," and he smiled. But Ruth sighed. "I suppose I shall have to, Tommy-boy," she said.
"Mercy's sake! is that the time, Tommy-boy? Why, the crazy man himself must be keeping them! Do you suppose the King of the Pipes has captured Ruth and Chess?" "Don't try to be funny," advised Tom. "It may be no laughing matter." "Well, I like that!" "I don't think that Chess would keep her out so late if everything was all right. Sure they were not going to Copley Island?" "Sure.
But when the car had gone a little way along the road, the girl of the Red Mill exclaimed: "Dear me! I fear that man will make trouble. I I wish Tom were here." "Don't say a word!" gasped Helen. "But not only because he could handle this Western bully do I wish Tommy-boy was home and the war was over." "Why don't you offer Dakota Joe a job in your picture company, too?" drawled Jennie Stone.
Tell her to wire her answer, and let it be 'yes. We'll take both cars. Father won't mind." "Oh, but!" cried Helen. "How about a chaperon?" "Oh, shucks! I wish you'd marry some nice fellow, Sis, so that we'd always have a chaperon on tap and handy." She made a little face at him. "I am going to be old-maid aunt to your many children, Tommy-boy. I am sure you will have a full quiver.
"And I know Tommy-boy is aching to go." "I thought," said Ruth rather gravely, "that he might really take to business this summer. Doesn't your father need him?" "Plenty of time for work, Tommy thinks," rejoined Tom's sister gaily. But Ruth did not smile.
His bronzed and smiling face was not to be mistaken even at that distance. Helen suddenly cried: "Hold me, somebody! I know I'm going to faint! That's Tommy-boy." Ruth, however, gave no sign of fainting. She dashed off the steps of the car and ran several yards to meet the handsome soldier. Then she halted, blushing to think of the appearance she made.
I've got this thing fixed up so it will hobble along a little farther. Let's take the lane there and go down by the river road, and see what it's all about." "Good idea, Tommy-boy," agreed Ruth, as she got into the tonneau and sat down beside Helen. "Fancy! taking moving pictures out in the open in mid-winter," Helen remarked. "Although this is a warm day."
"Oh, Tommy-boy!" exclaimed his sister, "I don't believe she cares so much for Chess. I really don't." "Well, that is not here nor there. What's to be done? Where's Mr. Hammond or Willie?" "They haven't got back from Chippewa Bay with the Gem." "This clumsy old Tamarack is too big for me to handle alone. And the boys have all gone to bed by this time."
Sarah Kingdon, a widow just arrived from Philadelphia, and desperately gone on young Mr. George Moriway, also fresh from Philadelphia, and desperately gone on Mrs. Kingdon's money. The tips that lady gave the bad boy Nat! I knew I couldn't make you believe it any other way; that's why I passed 'em on to you, Tommy-boy.
So Helen and Jennie were introduced, and the matron said she would find two rooms in the nurses' quarters for the visitors. But first the three girls must go to Ruth's little cell and have tea while they talked. "First of all," Helen began. "How is Tommy-boy?" "He is perfectly well as far as I know," Ruth said gravely. "Goodness! You are not mad with him?" "Of course not.
