CHAPTER X.
The Turn Of the Tide.

The Turn Of the Tide.
From time immemorial the history
Of the popular hero has ever been the
same. To king and patriot, to the
favorite girl at school and the small
boy who Is leader of the gang" to
politician. to preacher. to actor and
author, comes first worship then
eclipse. The great Napoleon did not
escape this common fate; and the pub
lie idol who was kissed only yesterday
for his gallant deeds IL scorned today
for having permitted the kissing. Oh,
caprice Of the human heart! Oh. cry
Of the race for the unaccustomed!
From that first anniversary of his
entrance into the home, Abraham felt
his popularity decrease-in fact more
than decrease. He saw the weather
vane 90 square about. and where he
had known for three hundred and
sixty-flve days the gentle. balmy feel
Of the southwest zephyr. he found him
self standing Of . sudden in . cold.
bleak northeast wind. The change be-
wildered the old man, and reacted on
his disposition. Az he had blossomed
In the sunshine. % now he began to
droop In the shade. Feeling that he
was suspected and criticised. he began
to grow suspicious and fault-nndins
himself. His old notion that he had
no right to take . womans place In
the institution came back to his brain.
and he would brood over 1t for hours
at time. sitting out on the porch with
his pipe and Ansy.
The old wife grieved to think that
father was growing old and beginning
to show his years. She made him some
tansy tea, but neither her persuasions
nor those of the whole household could
induce him to take 1t. He had never
liked "doctoring" anyway. although he
had submitted to It more or less during
the past year in unconscious subservi-
ence to his desire to increase his popu-
larity; but now he fancied that where
once he had been served az . king by
all these female attendants, he was
simply being "pestered" a. q punish
ment for his past behavior with Blossy.
All, with its surprising ending that
had been q humiliating affair; and he
felt too that he would be long in for.
giving Mrs. Darby for not having con.
fded to him her actual intentions.
Now he was afraid to be decently
courteous to one Of the sisters for fear
that they might accuse him Of light
dalliance again; and he scarcely ever
addressed the new member who came
to take Blossy's little room, for he had
been cut to the quick by her look Of
astonishment when she wal told that
he belonged there.
In his mental ferment the old man
began to nag at Angy. Sad though Il
II to confess Of hero honestly loved.
Abraham had nagged . little all his
married life when things went wrong.
And Angelina. fretted and nervous,
herself worried almost sick over
fathers condition. was guilty once In
. while out Of the depths Of her anxi-
ETY. Of naggins back again. So do We
hurt those whom We love best - We
would and could hurt no other.
