in the air. In the green old dooryard at the Red Mill, under the spreading shade trees, two girls are shelling a great basket of dried lima beans for the winter's store. The smaller, black-haired girl begins the conversation. -Suppose Jane Ann doesn't come, Ruth?- -You mean on this morning train?- responded the plumper and more mature-looking girl, whose frank face was particularly attractive. -Yes.- -Then Tom said he would go back to meet the evening train-and we'll go with him, - said Ruth Fielding, with a smile. -But I could not go this morning and leave poor Aunt Alvirah all these beans to shell.- -Of course not, - agreed her friend, promptly. -And Jane Ann won't feel offended by our not meeting her at Cheslow, I know.- -No, indeed, Helen, - laughed Ruth. -Jane Ann Hicks is altogether too sensible a girl.- -Sensible about everything but her name, - commented Helen Cameron, making a little face. -And one can scarcely blame her. It is ugly, - Ruth responded, with a sigh.
