"I don't know, only a granddaughter; I don't know if it's the same name. Why, have you seen the child?"
"I can't tell if it's the same," answered Richards, "but I've got a story for you to-night. I have been thinking all the afternoon I had a treat for Jennie."
"Is it a duty story, farher?" asked his little daughter.
"Yes, it is a duty story."
"Oh, that's good!"
Whenever her father had a story to tell of anything which had happened to him during his daily duties, Jennie always called it a "duty story," and she was very eager for such anecdotes.
