"Yes, dear," said Cousin Jack, for no one else could speak. "Middy's gone away for a little while." "I know," said the child, contentedly, "Middy gone to Gramma's to see Kitty!" "Why, perhaps she did!" exclaimed Mr. Maynard. But Mrs. Maynard had no such hope. It was too unlike Marjorie to do such a thing. "Well, let's find out," urged King.

"And when Gramma's rested, we can pull the trailer and kind of hike along toward them apples," Grandpa said stoutly. But Grandma looked as if she'd never be rested.
