Sally thinks nobody‘s worth looking at if they didn‘t come over to America when our family didâ€"she hasn‘t gumption enough to relize that if some people hadn‘t come over later, we‘d all still be living on crullers and Dutch punch!" i Then Miss Cornelia‘s mind seifed upon a sentence in a hurried flow of her sister‘s last instructionsâ€"a sentence that had passed almost unâ€" noticed at the timeâ€"something about Dale and "an unfortunate atâ€" tachmentâ€"but of course, Cornelia, dear‘ she‘s so youngâ€"and Pm sure it will come to nothing now her father and I have made our attitude Nevertheless, she was more conâ€" cerned with "the problem of Dale" than she would have admitted.

"And instead she acts more as if she were walking on pinsâ€"anâ€"needles.

She gathâ€" ered her Paisley shawl more tightly about her shoulders. "Who is itâ€" oh, it‘s only you, Lizzie," as a pleasâ€" ant frish face, crowned by an oldâ€" fashiBned pompadour of graying hair, peeped in at the door. "Good morning, Lizzieâ€"I was just going to ring for you. Has Miss Dale had breakfastâ€"I know it‘s shamefully late." "Good morning, Miss Neily," said Lizzie, ‘"and a lovely morning it is, tooâ€"if that was all of it," she added somewhat tartly, as she came into tMe room with a little silver tray whereupon the morning mail re posed. weightily, on the problem of Dale. "Problem of Dale indeed!" thought Miss Cornelia scornfuilly, "Daie‘s the nicest young thing I‘v& seen in some timeâ€"and she‘d be ten times happier if Sally wasn‘t always tryâ€" ing to marry her off to some young snip with more of what fools call ‘eligibility‘~ than brains‘!

"Was it a bad dream that ran away from me and out the back door, as fast as Pappy‘s pig? No, Miss Neilyâ€"it was a manâ€"seven feet tall he was, and eyes that shone in the dark andâ€"â€"" "Well, it‘s true‘for all that," inâ€" sisted Lizzie, stubbornly. "And why did the light go outâ€"tell me that, Miss Neily? They never go out in the city." Well, this isn‘t the city," said Miss Cornelia, decisively. "E‘s "tha counâ€" tryâ€"and very nice it isâ€"and\ we‘re staying hore all summer. I suppose I may be thankful," she went on ironically, "that it was ounly your grandmother you saw last night. It might have been the Batâ€"and then where would you be this morning?" ‘"I‘d be stiff and stark with candles at me head and feet," said Lizzie gloomily. "Oh. Miss Neily, don‘t talk of that terrible creature, the Bat!" She came nearer to her misâ€" tress, ‘"There‘s bats in this house, tooâ€"real bats," she whispered imâ€" pressively.

Lizzie, with mournful satire. "Oh, Miss Neily, Miss Neily â€"do let‘s go back to the city beâ€" fore he flies away with us all!" Miss Cornelia chuckled. "Of course there are bats," she said. "There are always bats in the country.

"And what of the letter ye had when ye first moved in here?" "The Fleming house is unhealthy for strangers,‘ it said. ‘Leave it while ye can,‘" . "Some silly boyâ€"or some crank."
