watching the dancing shimmer of color on the ceiling, a tall,
broad-shouldered man followed close behind him.
"Dr. Chilton!--oh, Dr. Chilton, how glad I am to see YOU!" cried

"It is all right, my dear; don't worry," soothed Miss Polly,
agitatedly, hurrying forward. "I have told Dr. Chilton that--that
I want him to look you over--with Dr. Warren, this morning."
"Oh, then you asked him to come," murmured Pollyanna,
contentedly.

adoring happiness that had leaped to Dr. Chilton's eyes was
unmistakable and Miss Polly had seen it.
