She's the gamest kid I ever met and pretty as they grow. Just think of her pulling off this getaway to-night. It was a man-size job, and that little girl never turned a hair from start to finish.

"Which last is some compliment," Thayer concurred heartily. "Oh, Paula," Dick said across to his wife. "I just got word that Graham arrives to-morrow morning. Better tell Oh Joy to put him in the watch-tower. It's man-size quarters, and it's possible he may carry out his threat and work on his book." "Graham? Graham?" Paula queried aloud of her memory.
