I WANTED you yesterday." "Did you? Well, I'm glad 'tisn't any farther away from yesterday than to-day is, then," laughed Pollyanna, advancing cheerily into the room, and setting her basket carefully down on a chair.

But now I want you to see what I've brought you." The woman stirred restlessly. "Just as if how it looks would make any difference in how it tastes," she scoffed--but she turned her eyes toward the basket.
"Well, what is it ?" "Guess! What do you want ?" Pollyanna had skipped back to the basket.
