"Er feller an' girl comin' t' the dance seen it," she answered with some hesitation.
"And you know who did it?"
"Uh-huh," nodded the girl.
"Who was it?"
"Ah shan't tell you-all!" exclaimed Julie, a challenge snapping in her black eyes.
"That is all right, my dear, if you do not wish to speak. How is your friend, Lum Bangs, to-day?"
"He ain't no friend of mine. Ah don't know nothin' 'bout how he is, an' Ah don't care." Julie blazed as she said it.
The Overland girls smiled. Grace's question, they thought, had been answered.
"Thar comes somebody," cried Julie, distracting the attention of all from the subject.
