Oh, Uncle Cliff, you can't think how it hurts me to see him fading away in that place, when when there's sunshine going to waste on the Blue Bonnet ranch, and ponies eating their heads off in the stables."
'I know who has been putting that in your head, rejoined her son disconsolately; 'that's Little Bethel again. 'Oh, Kit, don't talk like that.
