is on fire and your Mr. Harris is putting it out, and he says for you to jump out of the window."
"Oh," screamed Miss Fanny, hopping out of bed and rushing wildly around the room, "which window?"
"Any window," said Patty, who was hunting in the closet for the camera.
So Miss Todd, half unconscious of what she was doing, but with a blind intention of obeying the orders of her fiancé, climbed over a window sill and jumped out.
As a veranda ran all around the second-story of the Hurly-Burly, she found herself standing just outside her window on a very substantial balcony and feeling decidedly chilly in the night air.
"Here are some clothes," said Patty, grabbing up whatever came handy, and putting them out the window to Miss Todd. "Is there anything you want saved particularly?"
For Patty had taken a pillow-case from its pillow, and in it had placed the bundle containing her mother's picture, and Bob's camera.
"Yes," said Miss Todd; "that book of poems,—it was Jim's first gift to me,—oh, and my hat."
