WHEREIN ELNORA RECEIVES A WARNING, AND BILLY APPEARS ON THE SCENE It would be difficult to describe how happy Elnora was that morning as she hurried through her work, bathed and put on the neat, dainty gingham dress, and the tan shoes.

She had a struggle with her hair.

It crinkled, billowed, and shone, and she could not avoid seeing the becoming frame it made around her face.

"Not to be changed at the case," she told herself.
That her mother was watching she was unaware.
