The next morning Faith and her father were ready to start at an early hour. Uncle Phil, Aunt Prissy, the boys and "Scotchie" walked with them to the shore. "You will come back when summer comes, won't you, Cousin Faith?" said Donald. "You'll come for a visit even if you don't stay and go to school."
Faith reached the road without further mishap, and was soon walking up the path. There was no one in sight; not even Scotchie was about. A sudden resolve entered her mind. She would slip up-stairs, change her dress, and not tell her aunt about the torn dress. "Perhaps I can mend it, after all," she thought.
"I don't see what made 'Scotchie' growl so," added Donald. "I'm glad he did," responded Faith. "Come on; let's hurry, or we won't have much time on the ice," so off they went across the field.

"Paste me wan, Scotchie," he said. "'Tis owin' to me." Without a word the Scotchman gave the blow, catching the little man full in the chest and knocking him half a car-length. That was enough. Gallagher picked himself up out of the gravel, the lust of battle hot upon him.
Here, 'Scotchie, go to the shop with Faith," she concluded. Faith started for the square building on the further side of the yard, and the big dog marched along beside her. Donald and little Philip came running to meet her. "I'm going to make you a bow and some arrows, Cousin Faith," said Donald, pushing open the shop door.
