CHAPTER VIII.
Tim

"Hi! Duke! hi! Don't YOU know
an ole friend?"
Rose was in the garden gathering
a bunch of sweet peas. She looked up
and saw youth with a shiny ebony
face leaning against the gate
why. Tim," she said, Il am glad
to see you"
"Thankee, Miss Rose replied the
youth, doffing his battered hat with
an easy native grace, thought I'd
come around and see how you-alrs
gettin on"
Come in" she said Duke knew
you, didn't he?"
Yes, he thought first minnlt he'd
growl-but soon as | spoke he knew
me; he alters was a powerful KNOWN
dorg."
Where did you come from, Tim?"
Come from Fairmont, last place.
Doctor anywhere around?"
He isn't at home just now, but
Perez is"
Guess I'll pay my respects to Miss
Gardner"
AS they walked up the yard to-
gether they met Mrs. Gardner coming
from the barn with a basket of eggs
why, Tim" she said, lis that
you?"
IT'S me, sound as a nut. You are
looking uncommonly WELL Miss Gard
ner."
Thank you, ! am very we'll"
And the doctor, 'spose he's about
as ushal?"
He is we'll. You did not stay long
in Fairmont, TIM"
NO; had to work to hard, and it
was cold; shrunk me all up an give
me rheumatic"

"Oh, yes, had breakfast in Fair

He usually hires men from Ash
brook for the haying season"
"P'haps he might have chores, or
somethin."
He is not at home, now"
80 Miss Rose said, P'haps I bet
ter wait till he comes"
Yes, he will be here this after
noon. heard him say a few days ago
that he needed another hand on the
place" said Mrs. Gardner with a
smile.
Tim showed two rows of glistening
teeth.
Guess I'll pay my respects to Miss
Sophrony and Perez. S'pose Don an
Rebekah are all right?"
Yes, you'll find Don in the barn. "

Indeed she is and has two pretty
Kittens" said Rose.
We'll, I'll hang around till the doc
tor comes back" said Tim, bowling
and replacing upon his head the well
worn hat, which he had all the time
been holding in his hand
Tim had worked on the farm the
summer before and had been well lik-
ed. He was handy and good natured
and in the main reliable. He liked to
take things easy, after the easy man
ner of his race, but he could work
WELL if need were. DR.. Gardner, hav-
ing little for him to do in the winter,
had found him a place as porter in
store in Fairmont, telling him that
in the spring he could come back if
he chose. He stayed but few weeks
at that place, however, and then dis
appeared, and they heard nothing
from him until he turned up at the
gate.

afternoon, you didn't stay long at

Listen, said the artist, there's

and tall graceful blonde, with a veil
that sopranos always wear and as
unmindful as a statue of the sheep's
eyes glances of the tenor.
After the quartet had finished and
rustled down into their seats and
dropped their hymn books down on
the floor beside their chairs and the
enor had pulled his blonde mustache
and whispered something to the So
prano, and the bass had slipped a
couple of cough lozengers into his
mouth and was trying to eat them
without moving his jaws, an orches-

said the artist, lets go before our

But man with long gray beard
arose away up in the front of the tab

"The doors of the tabernacle are

" "Those who cannot spend the en-

There was long silence and then
the organist appeared. He sat down at
the organ but no sounds came from
It.

whispered the artist. There's a band
or something playing about a lille

We listened. The sounds became
louder. Its the organ" said the
artist.
1t was wonderful music. Sometimes
the notes of the organ had the roar
and majesty of thunder and the great
tabernacle seemed to rock from the
volume of the sound. Then they died

That's the idea" said the artist
Il can imagine that lady tourist say

The artist hung back, but the

The organist took us to the key.

ZACH, blease," said the Baedeker
boys in unison.
The organist ran his fingers over
the keys and then the great organ
thrilled with the booming martial
music of Die Wacht am Rhine.
The German contingent stood up as
suddenly as though they had been
yanked from their chairs. Their
heels clicked together and their
hands came to their heads in salute.
We all stood up out of courtesy. The
