She can lie down on a bench in the shade, and feel the fresh ocean air. That will be better than having her out in the sun." "Indeed it will," said Mrs. Bunker. "Thank you very much." With some dry bathing-suits and towels, the girl kindly made a sort of bed on a bench for Margy, and there the little girl was tenderly put to rest by her father.

"If I could get her a glass of cold water----" "I'll get you one," offered the bathing cashier. "We have some ice water inside." "You are very kind," said Mrs. Bunker. "We went in bathing from this place not very long ago, but I did not see you here then." "No, I come only in the afternoons," said the girl.

Russ, Rose and the other children had been asked to stay outside and play in the sand, but now, having been told by Aunt Jo that Margy was nearly recovered, they came in the bathing pavilion office to look at their little sister. Just at this time there were not many people wanting bathing-suits, so the cashier who had been so kind was not very busy. As Rose and the others stood looking at Margy, and also at the cashier, Vi suddenly exclaimed: "Why, I know her!" "Who?" asked Mrs. Bunker. "Her," went on Vi. She pointed to the cashier.
