Black Peter, feline Romeo and veteran of many a fierce duel, had beengone now for several days, and Mrs. Butler was greatly conâ€" cerned, for next to the humans of her family, she loved the household _ *I‘m afraid he‘s gone for good," she remarked, mournfully, to fiveâ€" yearâ€"old Penny. (‘Then she considâ€" ered her child, for, contrary to her usual behavior in situations of this sort, Penny went on calmly dressing her doll, remarking comâ€" fortably, "Don‘t worry, Mom, Peâ€" ter‘ll be all right." Mrs. Butler‘s heart sank. Was this apparent callousness, she wonâ€" dered, one of these phases which overilap each other with such breathâ€"taking rapidity? Or was the child developing a fickleness â€"a lack of feeling for those near and dear to her? She was restrained from further speculation by a shout from Jon, in his piercing nineâ€"yearâ€"old soâ€" "Hey, mom, here comes the minâ€" ster! He‘s at the gate, now." * Then he turned to Penny, his tanned face smug 3enuth the Dutch hairâ€"cut. "I guess you‘d better get in your tree," he remarked. > His mother caught her breath. The tree, of the lowâ€"spreading varâ€" iety, stood in the Butler‘s back yard, and was known to be Penny‘s port in time of storm. It sheltered alike Penny‘s grief, her guilt and her desire to escape wiping dishes, Therefore, judging by that crack of Jon‘s, it followed that Penny was in trouble. % A quick glance out of the winâ€" dow, and Mrs. Butler blessed Aunt Minnie Horton and her rheumaâ€" tism. ‘The Rev. Townsend had been halted at the front gate, and there he would remain for a good pen to her? Well, "Matey" must go at once. "Matey" was a good handy man, and the children adored him, but his conversation had a briney tang, and was often spiced with weird and startling phrases. And Penny picked up these things that quick! Mrs. Butler mentally threw up her hands. What was this that had been going on under her roof? Seâ€" crecy, connivance â€" bribery, even! ‘There was no time for diplomacy. "Out with it!" she told Jon. "Well, Jon began, not too reâ€" luctantly. He took a deep breath and brought out his statement with dramatic effect, "Penny sweared turning to Jon, what had that to do with:Reverend Townsend?

Reâ€" membering what her brother had said that very day, she beamed and snuggled closer, piping virtuously, in a childish contralto thatâ€"carried to the furthermost parts of the room: "I mus‘n‘t say ‘Judas Pries‘ in church, mus‘ I, Jonny?" ing for It ws ‘Crimson with rage and humiliaâ€" tion, Jon had marched her from the place. ° Now, as Mrs. Butler glanced from the window, she saw that the Reverend Townsend was almost at the door.
