“Good-bye,” Marion said, and she bowed towards the distant shore; she was smiling, but her lips were quivering.

“We shall meet in the sweet by and by,” Flossy quoted, but her voice trembled.

“There is a chance to do grand work first, that the final meeting may be infinitely larger, because of us.”

This the leading voice in the singing said, as he held out his hand to say good-bye.  And as they took it some of the girls noticed for the first time that it was Mr. Roberts; as for Flossy, she had known it all the time.

“We are going to try to do some of the work, Mr. Roberts,” Eurie said; “I have found the road to Bethany since I saw you, the real road, and we are going to try and keep it well trodden.”

He was shaking hands with Flossy, as Eurie spoke, and he still held her hand while he answered:  “Good news!  There is plenty of work to do.  It is well that Chautauqua has gathered in new reapers.  I am coming to your city, next winter; I shall want to help you.  Good-bye.”
