house and starting through the yard.

"It doesn't seem to me as though I really wanted but one thing in all
this big, beautiful world!" said his cousin, with longing in her voice.

"What's that, child?" asked her aunt.

"I want daddy to come home."

Marty went off whistling. Aunt 'Mira rocked a while, "Ya-as," she
finally said, "if Broxton Day would only let them Mexicaners alone an'
come up here to Polktown----"

Janice suddenly started from her chair; her cheeks flushed and her eyes
sparkled. "Oh! here he is!" she murmured.

"Here _who_ is? Who d'ye mean, Janice Day? _Not yer father?_" gasped
Aunt 'Mira, staring with near-sighted eyes down the shadowy path.

Janice smiled. "It's Nelson," she said softly, her gaze upon the manly
figure mounting the hill.
