“I would forgive her,” said Jinnie, timidly.

It seemed as if Jinnie had been visited also by the real Kris Kingle. Mrs. Tyke was permitted to go unpunished.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied.

Except for the Frontispiece, illustrations in this eBook have been positioned next to paragraphs they reference, and page number references in the captions have been removed, as they’re not needed.
