Back at the house they were met by the little bent man, who had tossed upon his bed all day in the fires of his hell. He looked searchingly at them to be sure that Follett had kept his secret.
"Come, sit here close by the fire, dear no, around this side. It's all over now." "Oh! Oh! My poor, sorry little father he was so good to me!" She threw herself on the ground, sobbing. Follett spread a saddle-blanket over the huddled figure at the foot of the cross. Then he went back to take her in his arms and give her such comfort as he could. The Gentile Carries off his Spoil
As often as Follett wakened through the night he saw him sitting there, sometimes reading what looked like a little old Bible, sometimes speaking aloud as if seeking to memorise a passage.

I spoke to you about this some time ago!" I wrote to my old friend, Mr. Dexter H. Follett, of Boston, for two shepherd dogs. Mr. F. is not an honest old farmer himself, but I thought he knew about shepherd dogs.
It must be some one that he wanted to lie beside. Poor little sorry father! Oh, you will have to be so much to me!" The train was under way again. In the box of the big wagon, on a springy couch of spruce boughs and long bunch-grass, Prudence lay at rest, hurt by her grief, yet soothed by her love, her thoughts in a whirl about her. Follett, mounted on Dandy, rode beside her wagon.
