Freckles

CHAPTER XIX
10/26

It screamed and screamed; and the fire kept coming closer and closer.
"The old woman ran out with the other people and saw what had happened.
She knew there wasn't going to be time to wait for firemen or anything, so she ran into the building.

She could hear the baby screaming, and she couldn't stand that; so she worked her way to it.

There it was, all hurt and bleeding.

Then she was almost scared to death over thinking what its mother would do to her for going away and leaving it, so she ran to a Home for little friendless babies, that was close, and banged on the door.

Then she hid across the street until the baby was taken in, and then she ran back to see if her own house was burning.
