I confess that the news surprised me; and I write to you for an explanation.,"The fact is David has not been quite himself since this trouble about Isabella," he said, gravely, "and he thinks it best to go away for a time. You know how he tortures himself over trifles.",The long trip across the continent proved to be no hardship for Bob. It was the first time he had ever gone alone on so long a journey and he could not help but feel a certain sense of liberty. He made friends with everybody on the train and many tired travelers saw the scenery through his enthusiastic eyes, finding beauty in what ordinarily would have seemed to them commonplace.,“There will be so many that we have found it easier to figure in what we call acre feet.

I sent ’em just as far away as I could from the place trouble was likely to happen without letting ’em get suspicious. They slipped out one at a time before you doubled the guards, Mr. Taylor,” he finished with a smile.,“Oh, Betty,” he begged, “Pease dive me some.”,“Did the little kids take it hard?”,Suddenly the still and silent air was rent by a noise that has no equal in the world.
