'What did he do then? When I told her simply that I'd met him 'down and out' at Buenos Ayres, she was so sorry. The mere trifling fact that he'd robbed one woman and swindled half-a-dozen others didn't matter. Of course, I couldn't tell her the details of Gladys' story he had me there!

But this I am going to say, I know it was God's great mercy, His great kindness it was that took the hate out of my heart. I forgave my brother that day and God forgave me. That's all there is to it.

Ther' ain't nothin' in the world I wouldn't do to stop them tears. Come to home, gal come to home."

"He. is not in the top, sir," responded little Reefpoint, chuckling like to choke himself. "Where the devil is he, sir?" "Here, sir," squealed Timothy, his usual gruff voice spindling into a small cheep through his great perplexity. "Here, sir." "What are you doing there, sir? Come down this moment, sir.
