June breeze hurried up from the harbor to the big house on the hill, and fluttered playfully past the window vines into the childrens convalescent ward. It was a common saying at the hospital that the tidal breeze always reached the childrens ward first. Sometimes the little people were waiting for it, ready with their welcome; but to-day there were none to laugh a greeting. The room was very quiet. The occupants of the little white cots had slept unusually long, and the few that had awakened from their afternoon naps were still too drowsy to be astir. Besides, Polly was not there, and the ward was never the same without Polly.
