Garland could raise his eyes, Tip had
flung himself into his arms sobbing:
II amt big enough to lick all the loaf
ers in town, but 1 lick all their sons,
and Cts says 1 am CROWN fast. Oh,
you do love me and Cts, don't you, Mis-
ter Garland?"
Yes" said Garland, gravely, and
kissed his wet face. Then he took
him by the hand and told him how low
and mean a bar-room fight was, and
that he must never tell Celia what had
happened. He tried to explain to him
what was necessary to resent, and
what was not; ne spoke sympathetical-
ly as he always didS and Tip absorbed
every word.
Now let us forget it," said Garland,
Tip, your grammar is very uncertain.
Why do you not try to speak as your
sister does?"
"The boys I play with don't speak
that way" said Tip.
Neither does Cy Pettingil-he speaks
as you do" said Garland.
Tips hand trembled and clasped Gar
lands tighter. Learn me what to
say, Mister Garland" he said after a
silence.
II will" replied Garland. "how would
you like to go to school in Boston,"
"When?"

her, can you, TiD?'
NO" said Tip.
"Well-we'n see-you need not speak
of this to your sister; 1 will-er-dis-

Garland.

as they walked up the gravel path.

grains from his coat.
'"Tip, dear, have you been naughty"
asked Celia
Nope" said Tip so promptly that
even Celia laughed, and Tip retired to
bed glowing with virtuous resolves.
Celia went up 10 his room and waited
until he had said his prayers. She
was troubled by the fervency of his
prayer for Garland, but Joined family
in the Amen, and covered Tip with the
white sheets.
"Mr. Garland says he loves you. Cis,"
said Tip, holding his lips to be kissed.
Celia caught her breath and laid one
hand on the bedpost.
Tip" she faltered.
'Yep-an' me, too" said Tip bliss
fully.
He fell asleep soon: Celia stood and
watched him in the moonlight. She
was thinking of Garland; Tip was
dreaming of him.
When She came down, Garland was
busy among the lilies with bullseye
lantern and butterfly net, and she took
chair on the verandah and watched
him. Two Imperial moths had fall

dropping the great yellow and violet
brown moths from his cyanide jar into
her lap. ARE they not pretty Cellar"

his eyes saw it; the shadows on the
pasture, the long light over the hills.

morning meadow sheeted with cob

color in the morning sky, she
had stopped to lift clover-drunk but
terfiy and examined the rainbow span
of its wings, she fingered at
the bars, listening to the music of the
meadow brook along the alders. So
when he asked her if the moths were
beautiful, she smiled and saw that they
were; and when he asked her to hold

Up and down they moved, to and fro
through the lilies and clustered pinks.
but the moonlight was too clear and
the swift sphinx moths did not visit
the garden that night
He was standing still, looking at the
lilies, and she was swinging the lantern
idly. About Tip he said abruptly.

for him."
''I know it is not" she said, sadly.
