thinkin' it was time he was shown
up
Mrs. Bishop rose YEARLY to order the
cook to get his supper ready, and re-
turned to the veranda just as Alan was
coming from the stable. He sat down
on the steps, lashing the legs of his
dusty trousers with his riding whip.
It was plain that he had something
OF Importance to say, and they all
waited in impatient silence.
Father" he said, "I've had a talk
with Rayburn Miller about your land.
He and have lately been working on
little idea of mine. You know there
are people who will lend money on real
estate. How would it suit you to Dor
row $4,000 on that land, giving that
alone as security?''
There was a startled silence, and
Bishop broke it in tone of great irri-
tation.
do you take me fer a plumb fool?"
he asked. "When I want you an Mil
Ter to dabble in my business, I'll call
on you. twenty-five thousand, I say!
If I could exchange every acre of it
fer enough to lift the mortgage on this
farm an keep a roof over our heads.
I'd do it gladly. Pshaw!"
There was another silence, and then
Alan began to explain.
While he talked Mrs. Bishop sat like
a figure cut from stone, and Bishop
leaned forward, his elbows on his
knees, his big face in his hands. 1t
was as if tornado of hope had blown
over him, shaking him through and
through.
"You been dom this to hep me out"
he gasped. "an' l never so much as
axed yore opinion one way or another"
"1'd rather see you make money out
of that purchase than anything in the
world" said his Son. with feeling.
