The exciting incidents of the evening were not concluded by the departure of the injured Mark and the despatch of dinner. As the Norwoods came out upon the lighted porch they heard voices on the lawn near the wrecked aeroplane.

"Who is Chapman shooing off the place?" asked Mrs. Norwood of her husband.

"Neighborhood children, I suppose," said Jessie's father carelessly. "Come to see the wreck.

The chauffeur had evidently been peremptory in his remarks to the uninvited callers. A shrill voice replied to Chapman's warning:

"You needn't be so grouchy about it. We wouldn't carry off anything. It ain't no good, anyway--not even for kindling. We just wanted to look at it."

"Oh, Henrietta!" cried Jessie, running across the lawn. "Don't go. We haven't seen you for a week."

"And you ain't going to see me for another, if that man is going to chase us off your place, Miss Jessie," said the sharp little voice. "We wasn't doing anything."

"Of course you weren't, Henrietta," agreed Jessie. "And Chapman did not understand."
