Sibyl and saw to It that the mourn
ing garments were beyond criticism.
Roscoe was dazed, and he shirked, JUS
flying himself curiously by saying he
never had any experience in such
matters" So it was Bibbs, the shy
outsider, who became, during that
dreadful little time, the master Of the
house; for as strange 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 long, long time,
and the machine shop, if he had to go
back to it, would probably bring him
closer still. To Bibbs' knowledge, no
one and nothing had ever 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,
he would hold to that way Of making
a man. Of Bibbs, who understood very
well, in his passive and impersonal
fashion, that it was way which might
make, not 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 good thing
for Bibbs himself; and whatever the
result was to be, the son had no bit
terness. 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
ing; Edith wept audibly; Mrs. Sheri-
dan leaned in half collapse against
her husband; but Bibbs knew that his
father was the one who cared.
It was over. Men in overalls
stepped forward with their shovels,
ana Bibbs nodded quickly to Roscoe,
making slight gesture toward the
line Of waiting carriages. Bibbs gazed
steadfastly at the workmen; he knew
that his father kept looking back as
he went toward the carriage, and that
was thing he did not want to see.

coupe, and Bibbs followed, closing the
door.

CHAPTER XII.

Bibbs went home bordering. He did
not understand why Sibyl had laughed.
At home,- uncles, aunts and cousins
from out Of town were wandering
about the house, several mOurnfully
admiring the "Bay of Naples" and
others occupied with the Moor and the
plumbing, while they waited for trains.
Edith and her mother had retired to
some upper fastness, but Bibbs inter-

in search of him. He ranSacked the
house, discovering the missing antique
at last by accident. Passing his Ia

heard a murmUrous sound, and paused
to listen. The sound proved to be q
quavering and rickety voice, monotO-N
nously bleating:

Shuttle says, He shall have neither
son nor nephew among his people, nor
any remaining in his dwellings, Bill

Bibbs opened the door softly. His
father was lying upon the beds in his
underclothes, face downward, and
Uncle Gideon sat near by, swinging
backward and forward in a rocking
chair, stroking his long, white beard
and gazing at the ceiling as he talked,
Bibbs beckoned him urgently. but
Uncle Gideon paid 40 attention.

Sheridan did not know what he said.
But in those first words and in the
first anguish of the big, stricken face

accusation:
