Golden, who had little money, would be worse than those
which came to her father's office, for Mr. Brown never seemed to worry
about the bills.
As the children looked at the letters on the counter, wondering whether
or not to take them in to Mrs. Golden, she herself came out of the back
room. She looked at the children and then at the letters.
"Oh, some mail!" she exclaimed. "I hope it's from Philip about the
legacy! If it is, I'm sure it will completely cure my headache, which is
much better."
Eagerly Bunny and Sue watched to see Mrs. Golden open the letters.

distant city. But if Bunny and Sue thought to see a look of joy spread
over the store owner's face they were disappointed.
"Did he--did your son send you the legacy?" asked Bunny, as the letter
was folded and put back in the envelope.
"Well, no, not exactly," was the answer. "It seems there is some trouble
about it. I hoped Philip could come home to help me, but he can't, and
it will be some time before we'll get any money from that legacy--if we
ever get it.
