WILL HE COME BACK?
It was the custom in Doctor Dunn's household that, immediately after dinner, his youngest son would spend half an hour in the study with his father.

It was a time for confidences.

During this half hour father and son met as nearly as possible on equal terms, discussing, as friends might, the events of the day or the plans for the morrow, school work or athletics, the latest book or the newest joke; and sometimes the talk turned upon the reading at evening prayers.

This night the story had been one of rare beauty and of absorbing interest, the story, viz., of that idyllic scene on the shore of Tiberias where the erring disciple was fully restored to his place in the ranks of the faithful, as he had been restored, some weeks before, to his place in the confidence of his Master.
"That was a fine story, Rob ?" began Doctor Dunn.
"That it was," said Rob gravely.

"It was fine for Peter to get back again." "Just so," replied his father.
