I will! I guess I can do as I've a mind to!" After a little further thought, and a determined wag of the head, Patty rang her bell, and when the maid came she said, "Bring my chocolate, please, and then get out a suitcase, and pack it for me." "Yes, Miss Patty," replied Jane, and until her breakfast came, Patty's mind worked rapidly.
"Jane, I'm going to elope," she announced, as the maid reappeared with a tray.
"Yes, Miss Patty," and though Jane's eyes flew wide open, she made no verbal comment.
"Don't look as if you had been shot!" said Patty, laughing; "I'm going alone, but you are to help me get off.

Pack the things I tell you and then order the little car for me.

I'm not going to tell you where I'm going, for I don't want any one to know.

But after I'm gone, you may give Mrs.Fairfield a note I will leave with you.

Understand ?" "Yes, Miss Patty," and Jane began at once to lay out the desired clothing.
"And," Patty went on, "if any one calls or telephones or asks for me in any way, just say that I've gone away for a few days to recuperate after the exertions of the House Sale." She carried out her plan with no trouble at all.
