Grant! We won’t say a word about him, for Arkie says except you promise never to speak of God, she will tell papa, and he will send you away.” “Davie,” said Donal with solemnity, “I would not give such a promise for the castle and all it contains--no, not to save your life and the life of everybody in it! For Jesus says, ‘Whosoever denieth me before men, him will I deny before my father in heaven;’ and rather than that, I would jump from the top of the castle.

And you won’t say any wicked things, will you? for Arkie reads her Bible every day.” “So do I, Davie.” “Do you?” returned Davie, “I’ll tell her that too, and then she will see she must have been mistaken.” He hurried to his cousin with Donal’s suggestion.

Have you any sins, Davie?” “Yes; I am very wicked.” “Oh! are you? How do you know it?” “Arkie told me.” “What is being wicked?” “Doing bad things.” “What bad things do you do?” “I don’t know, sir.” “Then you don’t know that you are wicked; you only know that Arkie told you so!” Lady Arctura drew herself up; but Donal was too intent to perceive the offence he had given.

You wouldn’t believe how splendidly he did it, Arkie--_out and out_!” concluded Davie, in a tone almost of awe.
