We for salt, salt, salt," sang Flyaway (meaning mi, fa, sol).

Who cutted im in two?" said Flyaway, and dropped to sleep again.

" Horace wished the conductor had been in that car, so he could have seen Miss Flyaway trying to prop her mother's head against her own morsel of a shoulderabout as secure a resting-place as a piece of thistle-down.

After they had all been refreshed by a nice dinner, and Flyaway had caught a nap, which took her about as long as it takes a fly to eat his breakfast, then Mr. Parlin suggested that they should visit the Blind Asylum.

" Flyaway shut her eyes, just to give herself an idea of their condition, and ran against Horace, who saved her from falling.

"Is she blind-eyed?" whispered Flyaway, gazing at her earnestly.

" The superintendent and visitors knew that he meant sect and they laughed at the mistake; all but Dotty and Flyaway, who did not consider it funny at all.

Flyaway was seated in a chair, busily engaged in picking dirt out of the heels of her boots with a pin.

" "Have you truly?" asked the children, gathering about Flyaway, and kissing her.

They call her Flyaway, because she can't keep still a minute.

"O, Flyaway Clifford, you've broken a teapot!"

" "I shouldn't think it was," said Dotty, looking around for Flyaway, who was riding in a lady's chair made by two admiring little girls.

O, 'tis as beautiful as flowers!" "Booful as flowers!" echoed Flyaway, who was one of the passengers; while Dotty wondered how Octavia knew the difference between green and white.

"Well, it will," said simple Flyaway; "I hear it going.

" "So'm I," groaned Flyaway.

"Aunt 'Ria," said Dotty, in raptures, "don't they have good times here?" "Yelly good times," said little Flyaway, clutching at her mother's dress.

Is there anything you would like to give away?" Flyaway winked slowly, trying to think what she had at home that she no longer wished to keep.

"Well, ladies, are you ready to go?" asked Mr. Parlin, taking Flyaway by the hand.

Flyaway did not like this at all.

And so this may be your last ride on Flyaway.

" "You haven't said 'thank you' for your last ride on Flyaway.

" "But she speaked to me first," said Flyaway.

Seeing that my efforts to annoy him failed, I gave in, and we were soon done, and then started for the riverMr Beecham clad in a khaki suit and I in a dainty white wrapper and flyaway sort of hat.
