"But it is important to you, Verty."
"Yes, indeed it is."
"Ask her this evening."
"Do you advise me?"
"Yes. I think you ought to; indeed I do."
"Well, I will," Verty said; "and I know when ma mere understands that I am not happy as long as she does not tell me everything, she will speak to me."
"I think so, too," said Redbud; "and now, Verty, there is one thing more—trust in God, you know, is everything. He will do all for the best."
"Oh, yes," the young man said, as they turned toward Apple Orchard house again, "I am getting to do that—and I pray now, Redbud," he added, looking toward the sky, "I pray to the Great Spirit, as we call him—"
Redbud looked greatly delighted, and said:
"That is better than all; I do not see how any one can live without praying."
