"You are going to be asleep before you know it." Billy opened his eyes and braced himself.

"I can walk," he said proudly.
"All right, we must start.

Come, Elnora! Good-night, folks!" Mrs.
Comstock set Billy on the floor, and arose gripping his hand.

"You take the other side, Elnora, and we will help him as much as we can," she said.
Elnora stared piteously at Margaret, then at Wesley, and arose in white-faced bewilderment.
"Billy, are you going to leave without even saying good-bye to me ?" asked Wesley, with a gulp.
Billy held tight to Mrs.Comstock and Elnora.
"Good-bye!" he said casually.

"I'll come and see you some time." Wesley Sinton gave a smothered sob, and strode from the room.
Mrs.Comstock started toward the door, dragging at Billy while Elnora pulled back, but Mrs.Sinton was before them, her eyes flashing.
"Kate Comstock, you think you are mighty smart, don't you ?" she cried.
"I ain't in the lunatic asylum, where you belong, anyway," said Mrs.
Comstock.
