The child has an unfortunate experience with a hot stove and tender fingers bear the cruel scar. Must some one always watch him, year after year, to save him from a succession of burns? He is taken to school by his mother; must she forever accompany him to insure his safe arrival? Is there no way of understanding a present experience except by passing through it?

"Five thousand pounds," said Henry, as bold as brass. "Five thousand pounds!" cried Mr. Carden. "A workman insure his life for five thousand pounds!"
