All Peter's "doors of daring" had hitherto opened into places from which he issued weeping, with sprained ankles, bruised hands, skinned knees or burned eyelashes. ALL PETER'S DOORS OF DARING HAD HITHERTO OPENED INTO PLACES FROM WHICH HE ISSUED WEEPING WITH SPRAINED ANKLES BRUISED HANDS SKINNED KNEES OR BURNT EYE LASHES
t business statement, which showed a decided turn for the better, that he was willing to add a thousand dollars to the capital and irrigate some more of the unimproved land on the ranch. "If Jack has really got hold out there, he can come home every two or three years," he thought. "Well, perhaps I shall succeed in getting part of them together, part of the time, if I work hard enough; all but Tom, whom I care most about! Now that everything is in train I'll take a little vacation myself, and go down to Beulah to make the acquaintance of those Careys. If I had ever contemplated returning to America I suppose I shouldn't have allowed them to settle down in the old house, still, Eleanor would never have been content to pass her summers there, so perhaps it is just as well." The Peter-bird was too young to greatly dare; still it ought perhaps to be set down that he sold three dozen marbles and a new kite to Billy Harmon that summer, and bought his mother a birthday present with the money. AS SO ENCOURAGED BY THE LAST BUSINESS STATEMENT WHICH SHOWED A DECIDED TURN FOR THE BETTER THAT HE WAS WILLING TO ADD A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE CAPITAL AND IRRIGATE SOME MORE OF THE UNIMPROVED LAND ON THE RANCH IF JACK HAS REALLY GOT HOLD OUT THERE HE CAN COME HOME EVERY TWO OR THREE YEARS HE THOUGHT WELL PERHAPS I SHALL SUCCEED IN GETTING PART OF THEM TOGETHER PART OF THE TIME IF I WORK HARD ENOUGH ALL BUT TOM WHOM I CARE MOST ABOUT NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS IN TRAIN I'LL TAKE A LITTLE VACATION MYSELF AND GO DOWN TO BEULAH TO MAKE THE ACQUAINTANCE OF THOSE CAREYS IF I HAD EVER CONTEMPLATED RETURNING TO AMERICA I SUPPOSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO SETTLE DOWN THE OLD HOUSE STILL ELEANOR WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CONTENT TO PASS HER SUMMERS THERE SO PERHAPS IT IS JUST AS WELL THE PETER BIRD WAS TOO YOUNG TO GREATLY DARE STILL IT OUGHT PERHAPS TO BE SET DOWN THAT HE SOLD THREE DOZEN MARBLES AND A NEW KITE TO BILLY HARMON THAT SUMMER AND BROUGHT HIS MOTHER A BIRTHDAY PRESENT WITH THE MONEY
