"Let him go," begged Joel, just as much distressed; "he won't touch the bag, I don't believe, again, Candace." "Oh, I won't, I won't," promised Van wildly. "I don't want the bag; do let me go, Candace." "Yer see, Mas'r Joel was a-helpin' me," said Candace, slowly releasing Van's jacket collar, "an' 'twarn't none 'o his fault dat he stopped kerryin' de letters."
