a dressing-gown and carrying a candle
in his hand.
The constable explained his suspi-

he had Just run up to town to see that
all was right. After chatting for lit

a glass OF wine. He lit the dining room

The Story
of a Big
Man in a
Big Town

After a little while, "It's too bad!- he
half whispered, his lips forming the
words-and his meaning was hat 1t
was too bad that the strong brother
had been the one to go. For this was
his last thought before he walked to
the coupe and saw Mary yertrees
standing all alone on the other side
of the drive.
She had Just emerged from a grove
Of leafiess trees that grew on a slope
where the t0mbs were many. Against
such a background Bibbs was not in
c%ongruous, with his figure, in black.
so long and slender, and his face so
long and thin and white; nor was the
u~ndertaker's coupe out Of keeping, with
the shabby driver doing ON the box
and the shaggy horses standing pa
tiently in attitudes without hope and
without regret. But for Mary yertrees,
here was a grotesque setting-she was
a vivid, living creature OF a beautiful
world. And a graveyard Is not the
place for people to look charming.
She also looked startled and con-
fused, but not more startled and con-
fused than Bibbs. All his life Bibbs
had kept himself to himself-he was
but a shy onlooker in the world. New
ertheless, the startled gaze he bent
upon the unexpected lady before him
had causes other than his shyness and
her unexpectedness. For Mary Ver-
trees had been a shining figure In the
little world Of late given to the view
Of this humble and elusive outsider,
and spectators sometimes find their
hearts beating faster than those Of the
actors in the spectacle. Thus with
Bibbs now. He started and stared; he
lifted his hat with incredible awkward
ness, his fingers fumbling at his fore
head before they found the brim.
"Mr. Sheridan" said Mary, "I'm
afraid you'll have TO take me home
with you. l. She stopped, not
lacking a momentary awkwardness of
her own.

mered. "Pll-In be de- Won't you
get in?"
In that name and in that place
they exchanged their first words. Then

CHAPTER xi.

Standing In the black group under
gaunt trees at the cemetery, three days
later, Bibbs unwillingly let an old, old
thought become definite in his mind
the sickly brother had buried the
strong brother. and Bibbs wondered
how many million times that had hap
pened since men first made a word
to name the sons Of one mother. AL
most literally he had buried his strong
brother, for Sheridan had gone to
pieces when he saw his dead son. He
had nothing to help him meet the
shock, neither definite religion nor
philosophy" definite or indefinite. He
could only beat his forehead and beg,
over and over, to be killed with an
ak, while his wife was helpless except
to entreat him not to stake on her
self adding a continuous lamentation.
Edith, weeping, made truce with

CHAPTER x--continued.

He expanded this theme once more;
stranger throughout the long drive.
Darkness had fallen before they
reached the city on their return, and
1t was after five when Sheridan al
lowed Herr Favre to descend at the
door of his hotel, where boys were
shrieking extra editions of the evening
paper.
NOW, good night, Mr.. Farver," said
Sheridan, leaning from the car to
shake hands with his guest. "Don't
forget I'm goin' to come around and
take you up to- Go on away, boyv'
A newsboy had thrust himself al
most between them, yelling. "Extry!

horrable accident. Extryv

The boy moved away philosophicaily
'Extry! Extry!" he shrilled. Three
men killed! ExtryI Millionaire killed
Two other men killed! Extry! Extry!
"Don't forget, Mr.. Farver." Sheri
dan completed his interrupted fare
wells. "IIl come by to take you up
to our house for dinner. I'll be here
for you about half-past Eve tomorrow
afternoon. Hope you 'njoyed the drive
as much as l have. Good night-good
night" He leaned back, speaking to
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1916-06-29


Moving slowly away, he caromed
against two people who were turning
out from the pavement to cross the
street. They were Roscoe and his
| wife.
where are your eyes, Bibbs? ?" de-
handed Roscoe. "Sleep-walking. as
usnal?'
But Sibyl took the wanderer by the
arm. "Come over to our house for a
little while, Bibbs," she urged. II
want to-"
mo, I'd better"
"Yes. I want you to. Your fathers
gone to bed, and they're all quiet over
there-all worn out. Just come for
a minute"
He yielded, and when they were in
the house she repeated herself with
real feeling: "'All worn outv Well, il
anybody Is, you are, Bibbs! And 1
don't wonder; you've done every bit Of
the work of it. You mustn't get down
sick again. I'm going to make you
take a little brandy"
He let her have her own way, fol-
lowing her into the dining room. and
was grateful when she brought him a
tiny glass flied from one OF the de-
canters on the sideboard. Roscoe
gloomily poured for himself Q much
heavier libation In a larger glass; and
the two men sat, while Sibyl leaned
against the sideb0ard. reviewing the
episodes Of the day and rseaiiiag. -

Sibyl and saw to 1t that the mourn
Ing garments were beyond criticism.
Roscoe was dazed, and he shirked, JUS
flying himself c%uriously by saying he
never had any experience in such
matters" So 1t was Bibbs, the shy
outsider, who became, during that
dreadful little time, the master of the
house; for as strange a thing as. that.
sometimes, may be the result of a
death.
"Dust to dust" said the minister,
under the gaunt trees; and at that
Sheridan shook convulsively from head
to foot. All of the black group shiv-
cred except Bibbs. He had been close
upon dust himself for a long. long time,
and the machine shop, IL he had to go
back to 1t, would probably bring him
closer still. To Bibbs' knowledge, no
one and nothing had eve prevented
his father from carrying through his
plans. He had the gift of terrible
persistence, and with unlocked conf.
dence that his way was the only way,

a man" OF Bibbs, who understood very
well, In his passive and impersonal
fashion, that 1t was q way which might
make, not a man, but dust Of him. But
he had no shudder for the thought.
The truth about Bibbs was in the
poem which Edith had adopted. But
he had not hidden his feelings about
his father where they could not be
found. He was strange to his father,
but his father was not strange to him.
He knew that ~Sheridan's plans were
conceived In the stubborn belief that
they would bring about a good thing
for Bibbs himself; and whatever the
result was to be, the son had no Bit
~tcrncss. Far otherwise, for as he
looked at the big. woeful figure, shak-
ing and tortured, an almost unbearable
pity laid hands upon Bibbs' throat.
Roscoe stood blinking, his lip CULVER

dan leaned IN half collapse against

father was the one who cared.
|-ws over. Men In oyeralls
stepped forward with their shovels,
and Bibbs nodded quickly to Roscoe,
making . slight gesture toward the
line or waiting carriages. Bibbs gaxed
steadfastly at the workmen; he knew
that his father kept looking back as
he went toward the carriage. and that
was q thing he d1u act want Ia see
