"God bless him; God bless Master Farwell!"
"I only know"--Priscilla's eyes were dim--"I only know--they are good

my wife away with me on the steamer."

"The Garden is a rich place, my love."

her dear old joke.
"And so little--for so much!"
"That's not the language of the Garden, good man!"

wrecked shrine.
"You are right, my girl!" Then Travers stopped and faced her, his eyes
glowing with love and courage. "And to-morrow--is not yet touched!" he
said.
