"Jesus knows I love Him " repeated the child.
"Miss Daisy, He knowed it before He's the Lord."
"Yes, but He wants people to show they love Him, June."
"Do, don't! Miss Daisy," said June, half crying. "Can't ye go to sleep? Do, now!"
It was but three minutes more, and Daisy had complied with her request. June watched, and saw that the sleep was real; went about the room on her noiseless feet; came back to Daisy's bed, and finally went off for her own pillow, with which she lay down on the matting at the foot of the bed, and there passed the remainder of the night.
CHAPTER XV.

"Daisy, do you want to go fishing?"
"No, I think not."
