"What in the world's the matter, Elnora ?" he asked.
"I am half afraid!" she panted.

What happened ?" "Uncle Wesley," said Elnora, "I had more money than I brought home last night, and I put it in my case.

Some one has been there.

The ground is all trampled, and they left this note." "And took your money, I'll wager," said Sinton angrily.
"No," answered Elnora.
