Better come along, coz, and keep us off the rocks." Evadne was silent. "I like such a girl as that," he continued. "She has common sense and makes a fellow feel comfortable. These moral altitudes of yours are all very fine in theory, but the atmosphere is too rare for me." "It is no real kindness to make you satisfied with your lowest. I want you to rise to your best.
"Why, Pompey, do you know him?" A great joy transfigured the black face. "He is my Frien'," he said simply. Evadne leaned forward eagerly. "Oh, Pompey, if that is true, then you can help me find him." Pompey smiled joyously. "Miss 'Vadney don't need ter go far away fer dat. He is right here." "Here!" echoed Evadne faintly.

"So, my dear brother," the letter ran, "I am giving you this responsibility as only a brother can. I have left Evadne absolutely untrammelled. I have no fear that my little girl will abuse the trust. She is wise beyond her years, with a sense of honor as keen as your own." The Judge's head sank upon his hands. It was for Evadne's good he had persuaded himself.
