missionary work in China, and secures
the pulpit in Blunts town. Blunt is
overjoyed to receive letter from
Alice, telling him she is coming. The
minister does not understand the old
sailor, and does not approve of his
manners and language. The boy
however, falls in love with his grand
dad, and the two become chums.
Clayton tries to persuade Alice to
keep the boy away. but seeing that it
pains her to think of breaking up the
friendship between her father and
their son, he does not mention the
matter again until one day the child
comes running into the hause as a
church committee is being entertained,
carrying a pail OF clans, which he
triumphantly says: Are damn good
eating, for grand-dad says So"

Alice is Inundated before her guests,
and the minister decides to take a
firm stand. 1t is planned to send the
boy away to Clayton's mother for a
while, SO the old mans feelings will

the talk and rushes to Blunt and tear
fully tells him the whole story.

cides to go away and study etiquette.

keeps calling for the old man, and
Clayton is compelled to telegraph
Blunt, pleading with him to make all
haste home. The crisis in the boys
condition Is approaching as Blunt
comes into the room and drops at the
bedside with tears streaming down his
face The little eyes open slowly and
look blankly around till they spy the
face of the old man. With a scream
of joy the little arms are clasped
about Blunts neck-and the child's
life is saved
