Sylvia stood beside her father, her face one big sparkle, while a more subdued, but equally rapturous, gleam shone from the doctor's eye as he gazed on the adored child from who...

"No," replied Gladys with a peal of laughter, "I didn't mean anything like that. I meant that you look different from the way you used to look, that's all. You've changed since...

Katherine did not know whether she was more astonished or relieved at the sudden flight of the man on the stairs. "I suppose I do look pretty wild," she reflected, "but I didn't...

"Does anyone want to go in to the city this afternoon?" asked Nyoda, as they rose from luncheon. It had been a rather silent, dispirited meal, and quickly gotten over with. "I h...

Katherine Adams stepped from the train at Oakwood, glanced expectantly up and down the station platform, hesitated a moment, and then, picking out a conspicuous spot under a gla...

After lunch the Winnebagos and the boys gathered around Nyoda in Uncle Jasper's study to hear her read aloud from "The Diery of Jasper M. Carver, Esqwire." She held the book up...

The Winnebagos woke bright and early the next morning, eager to begin the search for the secret passage again, but whatever plans they had formed were driven entirely out of the...

"Indeed, we _will_ have the party anyhow!" said Nyoda emphatically. "We'll outdo ourselves to make Sylvia have a hilarious time to-night. The time to laugh the loudest is when y...

Among the furniture stored in the study was one piece which Nyoda had pounced upon with an exclamation of joy the night before when she opened the room to please the Winnebagos....

"I can't imagine," said Nyoda, thoroughly mystified. "But there's one thing sure, and that is, Uncle Jasper had some very potent reason for putting that shutter over that window...

Nyoda looked grave over the tray she was carrying down to the kitchen. "No better yet; a little worse this morning, if anything. Her fever has gone up one degree during the nigh...

Sylvia's illness increased during the day; her fever rose rapidly and the coughing spells grew more violent and more frequent. Nyoda turned Hercules over to Sherry and Justice a...

The eminent surgeon had just made his examination of Sylvia and pronounced the verdict that had sent all their rosy air castles tumbling about their ears: "Nothing can be done....

Hinpoha drew up a footstool under her feet, and sank back into a cushioned chair with a long sigh of contentment. All day long she had been helping the others search for the sec...

"Daggers and dirks!" exclaimed Sherry, weakly sitting down on the car step when it was finally borne in upon him that Katherine's highwayman was none other than Sylvia's father,...
