"Of course it's so, man. replied the
other, shaking him vigorously by the

Pike turned quizzical eyes upon his
friend and folded the letter he held in
his hand.
"Much obliged to you, Tom" he said.

could see the worn steps leading up to
the veranda and himself approaching
half fearfully along the gravel walk
that led in from the rusty gate.
On the veranda sat the big man with
the heavy features and the corncob
pipe, and he heard the voice again bid
ding him come up. And then there
was call to some one within, and a
woman emerged with a white bundle
in her arms.
"Show her to Dan" he heard the
mans voice say, and then, when the
woman had removed a bit of the fan
mel covering from the little face and
he had looked upon it, startled, abashed
and marvelously choking as to the
throat, the big voice went on again:
"Shes going to be Ethel, Dan, that
bundle of infancy. And maybe some
of these days she'll be getting herself
in tight place, and it's going to be up
to you, Dan, to help her out, and
you're going to promise me that you'll
do it, boy. Horace, the other kid, he'll
grow up maybe to have sense, and
he'll look out for himself, but it's a
tough place for girls, Dana mighty

voice In which the boy had given the

CHAPTER l.
IT'S A GIRL"

Bank building, the gaunt young man
with the stern features and the kindly
gray eyes that always seemed a perpet.
ual rebuke to the face in which they
were set ruminated over the letter he
held in his hand. His back was to the
door-a half glass door which was also
the main and only entrance to the
room and which bore upon its trans
lucent surface in ragged letters, worn
by the polishing the glass had under
gone, the words, Daniel Voorhees,
Pike. Attorney at Law"
Pike himself had a queer twist of
feature, a sort Of whimsicality that
pervaded the very atmosphere about
him, and the smile with which he re.
garded the letter he held had a world
Of "Reminiscences and sadness in It,
AS he gazed at it the letter seemed
to fade into nothingness, and in its
place there rose the picture OF a day
years before, Il day that caused the
dingy walls of the Office to become
tenuous and gauzy, and through the
gauze he seemed to see another office
ramshackle sort of place. with a tin
sign showing through the window
which Informed the passerby that real
estate was the commodity dispensed
within. To Pike the picture grew yet
more distinct, and in the broken bot
tom cane chair he saw the figure of
heavy faced man in his shirt sleeves
engaged In smoking a corncob pipe
In another corner Of the room he
could see red headed boy porting over
a pine table, laboriously copying in a
round hand some title deeds Then.
through the reaches of the past, he
seemed to hear the heavy faced man
remove the pipe from his mouth and
heard him speak.
Dan" he said. "it's GIRL"
And he heard the gasp the boy gave
forth as he turned about on his stool
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1909-07-02

required promise and the awe with
which he heard that the newest atom
of humanity to arrive was already
motherless, and then the picture faded
again. Then came a succession of sim
liar views.
He saw the dingy real estate ONCE
grow into respectable brick building
and then into handsome stone edifice,
and the heavy featured man turn
grayer and grayer and more somber
and more Woodworking, and he could
remember the day when the tiny Ethel
was brought to the Office for the first
time and Of the manner In which she
began to grow up. He recalled the day
when she reached the mature age of
twelve and of how he had presented
to her Bible for a gift and Of the
manner in which he had blushed for
all his twenty-five years.
And then he recalled the day when
John Simpson had confided to him
that the "kids" were to be given ad-
vantages and were to be sent abroad
to school. There came a blank after
that, but he recalled as If 1t had been
but yesterday the feeling with which
he had gone off into a corner and
wrestled with the grief that had beset
him. He could even see the fiuttering
hand that waved to him from the car
window as the train took her and her
Brother away.
Suddenly the door behind him opened
and shut quickly, and quick steps
caused him to drop his feet to the
floor He turned and found a visitor
at his elbow.
