CHAPTER sIx-contlnued.


Hiram sat doing in corner of the
bar-room Of the Eagle hotel that day.
He had been ashamed to go to his
comfortable room over the garage.
He did not feel entitled to the hos
pitality of Mr.. Singleton. Somehow.
he. couldn't bear the thought of going
there. His new clothes and silk hat
were in state which excited the
derlsion of small boys and audible
comment from all observers while he
had been making his way down the
street. His money was about gone,
The barkeeper had refused to sell
him any more Glrink. In the early
dusk he went out of doors. 1t was
almost as warm as midsummer and
the sky was clear. He. called at the
door, of the Widow Moran for his
dog. In a moment Christmas came
down from the Shepherds room and
greeted his master with fond affec-
ton. The two went away together.
They walked up a deserted street
and around to the old graveyard.
When it was quite dark, they CROPPED
their way through the weedy, hriered
aisles, between moss-covered topping
stones, to their old nook under the
ash tree. There Hiram made bed
of boughs, picked from the evergreens
that grew in the graveyard, and lay
down upon it under his Overcoat with
the dog Christmas. He found it i'm
possible to sleep, however. When he
closed his eyes a new thought began
nudging him.
1t seemed to be saying, what are
you going to do now, Mr.. Hiram
BlenkinsOp?"
He was pleased that it seemed to
say Mr. Hiram Blenkinsop. He lay
for long time looking up Mt the
starry moonlit sky, and at the marble
weather-spotted angel on the monu
ment of the Reverend Thaddeus
Sneed, who had been lying there
among the rude forefathers of thu
village, since 1906 Suddenly thu
angel began to move. Mr.. Blenkinsol
observed with alarm that it had dis
covered him and that its right fore
finger was no longer directed TOWARD
Inc SKY out WAS pOlHllnB Ut his iheS
The angel had assumed the look ant
voice of his Old Self and was saying
81 don't see why angels are Away
cut in marble an set up in, grave
yards with nothing to do but point n
the sky. It's a cold an lonesome bnsi
ness. Why don't you give me job?
His Old Self vanished and, as
did so, the spotted angel fell t
coughing and sneezing. II couehe
and sneezed so loudly that the SCUM
went echoing in the distant sky an
so violently that 1t reeled and SCENE
to be in danger of failing. Mr.. Blenl
insop awoke with rude jump so tha
the dog Christmas barked In alarm
1t was nothing but the midnight tfai
from the south pulling out of tn
station, which was near the old grav'
yard. The spotted angel stood firml
in place and was pointing at the SIX
as usual.
It was probably an hour or so late
when Mr. BlenkinsOp was awakene
by the barking of the dog Christina
He quieted the dog and listened. 4

Phyllis smiled as she stood look

"How beautiful you look" the fond
mother exclaimed. "If ne didn't pro-

"But he did" said Phyllis. II tried
to keep him from 1t, but ne just would

The girls face was red and serious.
She sat dawn In q chair and began
to remove her hat. Mrs. Bling rose
suddenly, and stood facing Phyllis

There was a calm note OF firmness
in the voice OF the girl She was pre-
pared for this scene. She had known
II was coming. Her mother was hot
with irritating astonishment. The
calmness of the girl In suddenly be-
ginning to dig a grave for this dear
