The child's eyes brightened. “Isn't that nice!” she returned. Then she lifted Anna Belle and whispered something into her ear.
“No secrets,” said the doctor.
“I was just reminding Anna belle how we are always taken care of,” returned Jewel.
The young man regarded her with increasing interest and curiosity.
“Don't you wonder how I knew that your fare was paid?” he asked.
“How did you?”
“I met Mr. Evringham hurrying through the station. He said his granddaughter was on this train and asked me to look out for a little girl with a doll.”
“Oh,” returned the child, pleased, “then you know grandpa.”
“I've known him ever since I was no bigger than you are. But even then,” added the doctor mentally, “I hadn't supposed him capable of sending this baby out from the city alone.”
Jewel watched the kind eyes attentively. “So you see,” he went on, “all I had to do was to look for Anna Belle.”
