Elnora and Billy remained until the butterflies disappeared.
Then they lighted the lanterns, repainted the trees and followed the home trail. "Do you 'spec you'll get just a lot of moths ?" asked Billy, as he walked beside Elnora. "I am sure I hardly know," said the girl.
"This is a new way for me. Perhaps they will come to the lights, but few moths eat; and I have some doubt about those which the lights attract settling on the right trees. Maybe the smell of that dope will draw them.
