His immature and uncomprehending sympathy warmed her chilled heart as nothing else could have done. She had a great new sensation of leisure; there was all day to potter about in and no one to prepare for in the evening. Life was now timeless, without the clock of man's habits. Nothing mattered.

"And how do I know the Minturn dam will burst, Dr. Davison?" asked Mr. Potter, tartly. "You don't know it. I'm only advising that precaution."

Potter waved the boy away, and stood looking at Jasper with folded arms and a heavy frown upon his face. "Come, come, Jabe! you keep a mill. You grind for the public, you know," said Jasper.
