"See" she said proodly. "I been makin' a picture!"

The sketch showed something that might have been a house. There were windows and a door, rather dispropor-

roof with & tionate, and on top a chimney from which smoke was issu ing. Yes, there was even a garden in front of the house with a flower, almost as tall as the dwelling Itself, blooming in the foreground.

"Now, Ruthie, run along," her mother and harshly. "Don't bother Gale with your nonsense. The poor girl'a near at her wit's end—”

Her father had certainly taken tho
