"It's so much easier to be bad; and I often wonder at it," whispered Sarah, through Kathie's shimmering curls. "But if some one would make all that is right and good attractive, as your uncle says—I wish I could live with you awhile. I don't believe you ever have anything to worry you!"
"Yes, I do," answered Kathie; "I have to try pretty hard sometimes."
Sarah studied her in surprise. "But if I were to try I never could be half so good."
"Will you try?" Kathie uttered it with unconscious earnestness, and the light that so often shone about her came out in her face.

Steve brought a bag of nuts to put in the wagon, and Jim shook hands rather sadly with Uncle Robert.
"He is one of the right kind"; and with that he went back to the barn, whistling thoughtfully.
