Bob's thought of it--few out across
the valley with its tidings of good
will.
TO theplttle Shepherd It seemed TO
say: "Bing- Bing-Bmg- Bing-Blng /.
Coming. Coming, Coming! "a"
Many of the friends of his mother
mostly poor folk of the parish who
worked in the mill--came with simple
gifts and happy greetings. There were
those among them who thought 1t
blessing to look upon the sweet face
of Bob and to hear his merry laughter
over some playful bit of gossip and
Judge Croker said that they were
quite right about it. Mr.. and Mrs. ].
Patterson Bling were fever to feel this
blessing. The Shepherd of the Birds
waited in vain for them that Christ
mas day. Mrs. Bling sent a letter of
kindly greeting and twenty-dollar
gold piece and explained that her hus-
band was not feeling quite up to the
mark" which was true.
I'm not going" he said decisively,
when Mrs. Bling brought the matter up
as he was smoking in the library an
hour or so after dinner mo cripples
and misery in mine at present. thank
you / wouldn't get over It for a
week. Just send them our best wishes
and twenty-dollar gold piece"
There were tears in the Shepherds
eyes when his mother helped him into
his night clothes that evening.
81 hate that twenty-dollar gold
piecel" he exclaimed.
''Laddie boy Why should We be
sayin' that?"
The shiny piece of metal was lying
on the window sill. She took it in her
hand.
ITS as cold as a snow-bankl" she
exclaimed.
II don't want to touch it, Tn shiv-
ering now" said the Shepherd. Put 1t
away in the drawer. 1t makes me
sick. 1t cheated me out of seeing Mr..
Bing."

hired girls ate with the family-save
on special occasions when city folk
were present. Mrs. Collins and the
Glligans seemed TO enjoy this privi-
lege, but Susan Crowder, having had
ali ancestor who had fought in the
Revolutionary war, couldn't stand it.
and Martha Featherstraw preferred to
eat in the kitchen. Indeed there was
some warrant for this remarkable sit
uation. The Gllligan sisters had
brother who was a magistrate in a
large city and Mrs. Collins had son
who was a successful and popular
butcher in the growing city of Hazel
mead.
That part of the village known as
IrshtOwn and a settlement of Poles
and Italians furnished the man help in
the mill, and its sons were also seen
more or less in the fields and gardens.
Ambition and education had been
working In the minds of the young in
and about Bingville for two genera
tions. The sons and daughters of
farmers and ditch-diggers had read
Virgil and Horace and plodded into the
mysteries of higher mathematics. The
best Of them had gone into learned
professions; others had enlisted in the
business of great cities; still others
had gone in for teaching or stenog-

ors and merchants-some of whom
were deservedly well known-and J.
Patterson Bing, the owner of the pulp

one could almost say that its most

hired girls. They were few and sniffy.

the choice of their employers. They

ers and the frequency and quality of

CHAPTER TWO


The Founding of the PhyIlistines.
One little word largely accounted
for the success of J. Patterson Bing.
1t was the word mo" 1t saved him
in moments which would have been
full of peril for other men. He had
never made bad investment because
he knew how and when to say no"
1t fell from his lips so sharply and
dccisiveiy that he lost little time in
the consideration of doubtful enter
prises. Sometimes 1t fell heavily and

VIII in him. He didn't mean to hurt
any one.
'Time is a thing of great value and
what's the use of wasting II in idle
palaver?" he used to say.
One day. Hiram Blenkinsop. who
was just recovering from spree, met
Mr. Bling at the corner of Main and
School streets and asked him for the
loan of a dollar.
"No sirv' said Mr.. J. Patterson
Bing, and the words sounded like two
whacks of a hammer on a nail. mo
SIR he repeated, the second whack
being now the more emphatic Il don't
lend money to people who make bad
use of it,"
"Can you give me work." asked the
unfortunate drunkard.
"NOi But If you were a hired girl.
I'd consider the matter"
Some people who overheard the
words laughed loudly. Poor Blenkin-
sop made no reply, but he considered
the words an insult to his manhood in
spite Of the fact that he hadn't anv

was not enough of 1t TO stand up and
be insnIted-that Is sure. After that
he was always racking his brain for

fish. Bling was scrimper and
grinder. IF the truth were known
about Bing he wouldn't be holding his

A certain young globe-trotter, pos
sessed of more money than brains, was
recently travelling in Syria. While
journeying through the interior he was
prevailed upon by one of the sons of
the prophet to purchase at very large
price a quantity of what was described
as Syrian lambs fleece.
This, when he returned to London,
he sent to his tailor with orders to
line an overcoat with it. A few days
after he called to try on the coat.

Intolerance is the text of our au-
thor in this chapter on The American
Revolution. Through the veil of ro-
nance he thrusts a searching WHY?
Why is each little settlement at the
others throat when not at the Indians,
and in the interim preaching the gos-
pei Of love?
Each had founded its own law and
religion; those not agreeing travelled
from one to the other or to the woods.
Why was Roger Williams prosecuted?
Because he claimed that all sects had
a right to equal protection under the
law, and that the king had no right
to steal the lands from the Indians.
But-that was what the pious Puritans
themselves were doing.
In the second period the colonies
have become English. But they agree
less than ever. The British English
are expressing the AmericaI English.
What is making deadly enemies of
brothers of the same race? True, the
American working-man shares the A.
merican business mans hatred of the
English business man, and the Declar-
alton of independence rings out that
all men are born free and equal! But
while success hangs in the balance,
each is jealous of economic advantage,
and the farmers sell at a good price to
the English army food needed by the
American army.
Then opens the third period, in
which we are now living. One wave
of prosperity succeeds another, and
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness are enjoyed to the full. Every
thing is lovely, or, at least, ought 10
be. And whoever raises any doubts
and disturbs this dream by any matter
of-fact questions, is disloyal-why2
