_S.O.S._ Mickey, his responsibility weighing upon him, slept lightly and awakened early, his first thought of Peaches. He slipped into his clothing and advancing peered at her through the grayness. His heart beat wildly. "Aw you poor kid! You poor little kid!" he whispered to himself as he had fallen into the habit of doing for company.
