Her distressed countenance and haste proclaimed her a messenger of disaster. "Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" she exclaimed excitedly. "Where is Mr. Barnes?"

"It is healthful to go back to past pain," I said, half dissatisfied. "Is it so?" doubtfully, as he turned away with me. "I don't know, child. Now and then He has to punish us, or cut out a cancer maybe.
He had changed from an ill-doing, idle lad, into a man, noted even in that busy community for his attention to business, a man who took pains to seek a fair reputation for honesty and generosity among his fellow-townsmen.

David stood gazing after him with astonished eyes. "I responsible for him! That can hardly be.
