CHAPTER SIX.
In Which Hiram Blenkinsop Has
Number of Adventure
The Shepherd ' of tl IVr Is had
caupht the plague of Influenza in
March and nearly lost his life with It.
Judfe Crooker and Mr. and Mrs. Sin
fletoii ami iheir daughter and Father
CNeil and Mrs. Ames and Hiram
Blenklnsop had taken turns In the
nursing of the boy. 11 had come out
If it with Impaired vitality.
The rubber tree used to speak to him
In those days of his depression and
a?, "ti win lie summer soon."
"Oh, dearl But the days pass to
lowly," Bob would answer with
1Kb.
Then tlie round nickel clock would
ay cheerfully, MI hurry them along as
fast as ever I ran."
"Seems ns tf old Time was loslnij
tXie use of his les," said the Shep
herd. "I wouldn't wonder if some we
had run over him with an automobile."
"Everybody Is trying to kill Time
these iity." t irked the clock with a
merry chuckle.
Bob looked at the clock and laughed.
"You've ft some sense," lie declared.
"Nonsense!" the clock answered.
"You can talk pretty well," said the
boy.
"I can run, too. If I couldn't, no
body wr.uld look at me."
"TW more I look at you the more I
think of Pauline. It's n Ions time since
the went away." said the Shepherd.
We must all pray for her."
"Not I," suid the little pine bureau.
"Do you see that Ions scratch on my
Side? She did it with a hatpin when
I belonged to her mother, and she used
to keep Ii.t dolls in my lower drawer."

ot;e-had beun to share his couti-!

spend a night with the sick Shepherd. I
Christmas had lain on the foot ot me
bed and f -It the lovins caress of the
boy. The heurt of the world, that
loves above all things the touch of
a kindly !ihi1, whs In this little
creature, often, when Hiram was
wulklng out In the bitter winds.
Christmas would ed.v awuy when his
master's Imvk was turned. In u jltTy,
he was out of sight ami making with
all haste for the door of the Widow
Moran. There, he never failed to re
ifivu some token of the generous
woman's understanding of the great
need of dogs a bone or u doughnut
or a slice of bread soaked In meat
gravy and a warm welcome from
the boy almve stairs. The boy ulways
had time to pet him and play with
him. He wns never fooling tin days
away with an ux and a saw in the cold
wind. Christinas admired his, mast
er's ability to pick up logs of wood
and heave them about and to make
a great deal of noise with an axe
but. In cold weather, ail that was a
bore to him. When he had been miss.
Ing, Hiram Rler.klnsop found him, al
ways, on Bob Moran's bed.
May had returned with Its warm
sunlight. The robins had come back,
Tbe blue martins had taken xsses
slon of the bird house. The grass had
turned green on the garden bor

golden glow of dundellous. The leaves
were coming bnt Put Crowley wr.s no

dream. S.i o::e day. I:e converted hia
tank Manor into "a ro'l bl enough
to choke a d.'i" and took the early
luon.iiig train to Hard mead, having
left Chrisiiius at the Widow Moran's.
In the mil: city he bought a high
silk hut and a gold-headed cane and
a new suit of clotUs and a boiled
shirt a;id a high collar and a red
necktie. It didn't matter to him that
the fashion and fit of his garments
were not quite In keeping with the
silk hut and gold -headed cane. There
were three other Items In the old
dream of splendor the mother, the
prancing team, at d the envioua re
marks f the otil-mkers. His mother
was gone. Al there were no prune
ing hordes In Itazrlmead, but be could
hire an automobile.
In the course of his celebration he
uffced a lady whom lie met In the
tnvt. If she would kindly be his
mother for a day. He meant well
hut the lady U-Ing younger than
Hiram and nt accustomed to such
familiarity frot strangers, did not
feel complimented by tbe question.
They fled from each other. Soon.
Hiram bought a big custard pi, in a
hake-shop and had it rut Into small
ish pieces and. having purchased pie
and plate, went out upon the street
with it. He ate what he wanted of
the pie and generously offered the
rest of it to sundry people who passed
him. It was not ' impertinence In
Hiram: it was pure generosity a de
sire to share his riches, flavored. In
same degree, by a feeling of vanity.
It ballH-ned that Mr. J. Patterson
IUn; came along and received a
tender of pie from Mr. Blenklnsop.
"No! said Mr. Bins, with that old
hammer whack In his voice which
aroused bitter memories In the mind
of Hiram.
That tone was u great piece of Im
prudence. There was a menacing'
gesture and a rapid succession of
footsteps on the pavement. Mr. Bicg's
retreat was not, however, quite swift
enough to save hliu. The pie landed
on his shoulder. In a moment, Hlrom
was arrested and marching toward
the lockup while Mr. Blng went to
the nearest drug store to be cleaned
anil scoured.
A few days luter Hiram Blenklnsop
arrived in Blngvllle. Mr. Singleton
met him on the street and saw to
his deep regret that Hiram had been
drinking.
"I've liuide up my mind that re
ligion is Rood for seme folks, but It
Won't do for me," said the latter.
"Why not?" the minister nsked,
"I can't afford it."
"Have you found rell'-'lnn a lux
ury':" .Mr. Singleton asked.
"It's grand while it lasts, but. It's j
like p'ison gettin' over it," said
Hiram. "I feel kind o' ruined."
"You look it," said the minister,
with a glance nt Hiram's silk hat ,
und Soiled clothing. "A long s;ell
of sobriety Is hurd on u man If he
quits It sudden. You've had yotir day j
of trial, my friend. We nil have'
to be tried soon or late, reo
ple begin to say, 'At last he's come
around all right. He's a good fellow.'
And the Lord nays: 'Perhaps lie's
worthy of better tilings. I'll try him
and see.'
"That's His way of pushing people
along. Hiram. Hedoesn't want them
to st.ind still. You've had your trial j
nnd failed, but you mustn't give up,
When your fun turns Into sorrow. a'
It will, com bnck to rae and we'll!
try again."
Hirnm sat dozln? In a corner of the j
bar-room of the Eagle hotel that Jay. i
He had been ashamed to go to his'
comfortable room over the garage.)
He did not feel entitled to' the hos-;
pltality of Mr. Singleton. Somehow, j
he couldn't bear the thought of going'

ioiin from tilt Shepherd'a room and
iirt-ete.1 !.; umster tJ fond afeo- j
tioa. The two went away together, i
Tliey walked Bp a deserted street J
and around to the old graveyard. ,
When it was quite dark, they groped
their way through the wvedy, brlered j
ai.sl, Wlwevn niosw-covered toppling !
stones, to their old nook under the
ash rrec. There Hiram made a bed
of lioughs. picked from the evergreens
that grew in the graveyard, and lay
down upon It under bis overcoat with
the dog Christmas. He found It Im
possible to sleep, however. When he
closed his eyes a new thought began
Ludging him.
It Mimed to be saying, "What are
you going to do now, Mr. Hiram
r.lenkilisop?"
He was pleased that It seemed to
say Mr. Hiram Blenklnsop, He lay
for a long time looking up at the
starry moonlit sky, and at the marble,
eather-smtted angel on the monu
ment of the lleverend TlmdJeus
uvL who had been lying there,
among the rude forefathers of the
village, since lMk Suddenly the
angel began to move. Mr. Blenklnsop
observed with alarm that it had dis
covered htm and that Its right fore
finger was no longer directed toward
the sky but was pointing at his face.
The angel had assumed the look and
voice of his Old Self and was saying :
"1 don't see why angels are always
cut In murble an' set up In grave
yards with nothing to do but point at
the sky. It's a cold an' lonesome busi
ness. Why don't you give me u Job?"
His Old Self vanished and, as It
did so, tbe spotted angel fell to
Coughing and siieeziug. It coughed
and sneezed so loudly that the sound
went echoing In the distant sky aud
so violently that It reeled und seemed
to be in danger of falling. Mr. Blenk
lnsop awoke with u rude Jump so that
the dog Christmas barked In alarm.
It was nothing but the midnight train.
from the south pulling out of the
station, which was near the old grave
yard. The spotted ungel stood firmly
In place und was pointing at the sky
as usual.
It was probably uu hour or so later,
when Mr. Blenkinsop was awakened
by the barking of the dog Christmas.
He quieted the dog and listened. II
heard u sound like that of a baby cry
ing. It awoke tender memories In the
mind of Hirum Blenklnsop. One very
sweet recollection was about all that
the hurrcti, bit'ter years of his young
manhood had given him worth huv
ing. It was the recollection of a
little child which hud Wine to his
home in the first jeur of Ids married
life.
"She lived elghlewu months and
three days ami four hours," he used
to say, In speaking of her, with a
tender note in hi,volce.
Almost twenty years she had been
lying l'i i lie old graveyard near the
ash tree. Since then the voice of a
child crying ulwuys hulted his Hteps.
It Is probable that, in her short life,
the neglected, pathetic child Pearl
that having Ixen her name had pro
tested much against a plentiful lack
of comfort und sympathy. '
So Mr. BleiikliisopV agitation at
the sound of a baby crying some
where near him, in the darkness of
the old graveyard, wns quite natural
and will be readily understood. He
rose on his elbow und listened. Again
he heard the small, upleullng voice.
"By thunder! Christmas," be whis
pered. "If thut ain't like Pearl when
she was a little, teeny, weeny thing
no biggcr'u a pint o' beer! Say, It
Is, sir, sure as sitil"
He scrambled to his feet, suddenly,
for now, ulso, he could hear the
voice of a woman crying. He groped
his way In the direction from which
the sound came and soon discovered
the woniun. She was kneeling on a
grave with a child In her arms. 'Her
grief touched the heart of the man.
"Who be your he asked.
"I'm cold, and my baby Is sick,
and I have no friends," she sobbed.
"Yes, ye have!" said Hiram Blen
klnsop. "I don't care who ye be;
I'm yer friend and don't ye forglt It."
There was a reassuring note in the
voice of Hiram Blanklnsop. Its gentle
ness had In It a quiver of sympathy.
She felt itnnd gave to him an un
known, Invisible man, with Just a
quiver of sympathy In his voice
her confidence.
If ever otie was In need of sympa
thy, she vas at that moment. Site
felt that site must tqieuk out to some
one. So keenly Bhe felt tlie impulse
i inui sue mm ivn spcAKing to uie
stars and tlie odd gravestones. Here
: at last wns" a humnn being with a
quiver of syrniiuthy In his voice.
i "I thought I would come honte.

the girl moaned. "I rtsh 1 could dia."
"No, ye djm't, either!" said Hh-ain

no kind o doubt o what they'll aaj

The young woman followed him oot
of the old graveyard aud through tbe
dark, deserted streets until they came
to the cottage of tbe Widow Moran.
They passed through the gate Into
Judge CToofcer's garden. Under the
Shepherd's window, Hiram Blenkln
sop gave tlie baby to Its mother and
with his hands to his mouth called
"Bob!" In a loud whisper. Suddenly
a robin mounded Ids alarm. Instantly,
the Shepherd's room was full of light.
In a moment, he was at the wtndow
sweeping the garden paths and the
tree tops with his searchlight It
fell oil the sorrowful figure of the
young mother with tbe child in her
arms and stopped. She stood looking
up at the window bathed In the flood
of light It reminded the Shepherd
of that glow which the wise men saw
In the manger at Bethlehem.
"Pauline Baker!" he exclaimed.
"Have you come back or am I dream
ing? It's you thanks to the Blessed
Virgin! It's yon! Come 'around to
the door. My mother will let yon
In."
It was a warm welcome that the
girl reo-ifed in tbe little home of the
Widow Moran. Many words of com
fort and good cheer were spoken In
tlie next hour or so. after which the
good womaa made tea and toast and
broiled it chop nnd served them In
the Shepherd's room.
"Cod love ye, child! So be was a
married man bad 'cess to him an'
the likes o' him!" (die said as she
came In with the tray. "Mother o'
Jesus! "What a wicked world it Is!"
The prudent dog Christmas, being
ufrald of babies, hid under the Shep
herd's bed, and Hiram Blenklnsop
lay down for the rest of tlie night on
the lounge tn the cottage kitchen.
Arr hour after daylight, when the
Judge was walking In his garden, be
wondered why the widow and the
Shepherd were sleeping so late,
