Just as soon as Lucindy could be spared, she ran down to the tree post-office, put a note into the tin box, and returned. This, Carrie Hess got as soon as recess came, and the scheme worked out successfully, as the event proved.

“Is it there now?” asked Barry.
“I do’no, I seed it there this mornin’.”
