''Not at ALL" said Bibbs. ''I'm going
20 stand by the old zinc eater till five
O'Clock. / tell you 1 like it!''
'"Then suppose that's the end Of

II don't know about that" Bibbs
said, thoughtfully; "but the zinc eater
doesn't interfere with my thinking, at

lead just the life I'm leading now to
the end of my days."
''You do beat the devilv' exclaimed
Quincy. "Your fathers right when he
tells me you're mystery. Perhaps
the Almighty knew what he was about
when he made you, but it takes a lot
OF faith to believe it! Well, I'm off.
Go on back to your numbering old ma

he was trying to show you how to do
something you were already doing a
great deal better than he could. You
tell him I'll be around to look at, it
and change the dressing tomorrow
morning. Goodby."
But when he paid the promised visit
the next morning he did more than
change the dressing upon the damaged
hand. The injury was severe of its
kind, and Quincy spent long time
over it, though Sheridan was rebellious
and scornful, being brought to a de-
gree Of tractability only by means of
horrible threats and talk of amputa-
ton. However, he appeared at the
dinner table with his hand supported
in a sling, which he seemed to regard
as an indignity, while the natural in
quiries upon the subject evidently
struck him as deliberate insults. Mrs.
Sheridan, having been unable to con-
tain her solicitude several times dur
ing the day, and having been checked
each time in a manner that blanched
her cheek, fastened to warn Roscoe
and Sibyl, upon their arrival at five,
to omit any reference to the injury and
to avoid even looking at the sling If
they possibly could.
