he stands and looks away towards Mars' Nat's cottage and the white
churchyard on the hill?

Ah, Bud and Ivy have not had their awakening; but the little brother and
sister are not the only ones who fail to see more than the surface of
John Jay's nature. Under the bubbles of his gay animal spirits runs the
deep current of a strong purpose, and in these moments he is keeping
silent tryst with a memory. He thinks of his promise, and his heart goes
out to his Reverend George on the other side of the toll-gate.

THE END.
