Question: Q: CHAPTER III 

And a heart at leisure from itself To soothe and sympathize.--Miss Waring 

Recovery had fairly set in, and 'better' was the universal bulletin, eating and drinking the prevailing remedy. 

Henry Ward had quickly thrown off his illness. The sense that all depended on him, acted as a stimulus to his energies; he was anxious to be up and doing, and in a few days was down-stairs, looking over his father's papers, and making arrangements. He was eager and confident, declaring that his sisters should never want a home while he lived; and, when he first entered his brother's room, his effusion of affection overwhelmed Leonard in his exceeding weakness, and the thought of which during the rest of the day often brought tears to his eyes. 

Very grateful to Dr. May, Henry declared himself anxious to abide by his advice; and discussed with him all his plans. There had been no will, but the house and land of course were Henry's. The other property gave about £2000 to each of the family; and Averil had about as much again from the old aunt, from whom she had taken her peculiar name. The home of all should, of course, still be their present one; Averil would teach her sisters, and superintend the house, and Leonard continue at the school, where he had a fair chance of obtaining the Randall scholarship in the course of a year or two. 'And if not,' said Henry, 'he may still not lose his University education. My father was proud of Leonard; and if he would have sent him there, why should not I?'

1. Who was grateful?
2. To whom?
3. Did he promise to abide by?
4. Did he tell everything to to him?
5. Was he in good health?

Q: CHAPTER XIX. 

ABOUT THE ROBBERY. 

If Ralph had been astonished before, he was doubly so now. He looked from one to another of the men in amazement. 

"Do you really think I am one of the thieves?" he gasped. 

"It's mighty suspicious," responded Jack Rodman. "You were seen in the neighborhood of the post office to-night, and then this knife business is a clew." 

"I don't think Ralph will run away," said Bart Haycock. "I myself think he is innocent." 

"Thank you for those words," said the boy. "I am innocent." 

"Then you have no objections to our making a search about here," said the constable. 

"Not any objection whatever," said Ralph, promptly. "Search where you please." 

"I'll help you," said Uriah to the constable. 

"Hadn't you better hold me tight?" suggested Ralph, with a sarcasm which was entirely lost on the miserly storekeeper. 

"Well, I dunno," hesitated Uriah. 

"I will see to it that he doesn't run away," said the blacksmith. "This makes me sick, Ralph," he added, in a low tone. "I know you are as innocent as a babe. That post office was robbed by professionals." 

The constable and Uriah knocked on the cottage door and Mrs. Nelson let them in. She was greatly surprised when Jack Rodman declared his errand. 

"Ralph is indeed innocent!" she exclaimed. "You may search the premises all you please." 

The constable and Uriah took a lamp, and the search began. Every nook and corner of the cottage was gone over, but nothing that looked like what had been taken--money and registered letters--came to light. 

Answer the following questions:
1. Who did Jack think was a thief?
2. Who thought he was innocent?
3. Where was Ralph seen tonight?
