noon and see little Dan'l. "Little Dan'l had ought
to see other children once in a while, and Sarah Dean
makes real nice cookies," he stated, pleadingly.

Sally Patterson laughed good-naturedly. "Of
course she can, Mr. Wise," she said.

The next afternoon Sally herself drove the rec-
tor's horse, and brought Content to pay a call on
little Dan'l. Sally and Sarah Dean visited in the
sitting-room, and left the little girls alone in the
parlor with a plate of cookies, to get acquainted.
They sat in solemn silence and stared at each other.
Neither spoke. Neither ate a cooky. When Sally
took her leave, she asked little Dan'l if she had had
a nice time with Content, and little Dan'l said,
"Yes, ma'am."

Sarah insisted upon Content's carrying the cookies
home in the dish with a napkin over it.

"When can I go again to see that other little girl?"
asked Content as she and Sally were jogging home.

"Oh, almost any time. I will drive you over --
because it is rather a lonesome walk for you. Did
you like the little girl? She is younger than you."

"Yes'm."
