We have the scenery, the children have nearly learned their parts, but we have no place to give the show." "Well, I've come to tell you where you can find a place," said the hardware man, and Bunny and Sue clapped their hands in delight. "This is very kind of you, I'm sure, Mr. Raymond," said Mr. Brown. "I didn't know there was any place in town I hadn't thought of.
I expect it's someone sent from Tresedder farm; and if so, he'll want to see your father alone." Mr. Raymond frowned. "No," he said; "the time is past for that." A fist hammered on the door. Mr. Raymond threw it open. "Brigantine on the sands! Half a mile this side of the light-house!" Taffy saw across his father's shoulder a gleam of yellow oilskins and a flapping sou'-wester hat.

I have no fear that Raymond will fail in his duty to dear Daniel at such a time. Come back early to-morrow, Sabina. I shall get a telegram, as soon as Raymond can despatch it, and shall hold myself in readiness to go at once and stop with Daniel.
