SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER LIN the village of Bing-
vile thirteen-year -old Robert Emmett Mo-
ran, crippled son of a poor widow, is
known as the Shepherd of the Birds. His
world Is his mother and friends, his
little room, the flower garden of Judge
Croker, and every flying thing he sees
from his window. The painting of pic
lures Is his enjoyment and little Pauline
Baker, small daughter of a neighbor, the
object of his boyish affection. To him,
]. Patterson Bing, the first citizen of
Bingville, Is the ideal of really great
man.
CHAPTER 1.-THE village becomes
money mad. rejecting the great world in
Its state of unrest The Bing family is a
leader in the change. To them the village
has become provincial" Pauline Baker,
victim of her surroundings, elopes with a
stranger. and her parents are unable to
trace her.
CHAPTER III.--Severe winter weather
brings distress to Bngville Spoiled by
false prosperity the citizens have failed
to look ahead, and many suffer absolute
privation. The Reverend Otis Singleton,
one of the few in the village who seek to
stem the tide of extravaganza and folly,
effects a reformation in Hiram Blenkin-
sop, town drunkard and general BLACK
Shaar
CHAPTER IV.-Mainly owing to Judge
Croker, the village awakes to it's short
sightedness in having considered money
the essential, and negecting the real
things of life and true democracy. Some
of the leading men also receive a lesson,
in the increasing waywardness of mem
bers of their families

to choke a dog" and took the early
morning train to Hazelmead, having
left Christmas M the Widow Moran's
In the mill city he bought high
silk hat and a gold-headed cane and
a new suit of clothes and a boiled
shirt and a high collar and q red
necktie. It didn't matter to him that
the fashion and fit of his garments
were not quite in keeping with the
silk hat and gOld-headed cane. There
were three other items in the old
dream of splendOr-the mother, the
prancing team. and the envious re-
marks of the onlookers His mother
was gone. Also there were no pranc-
ing horses in Hazelmead, but he could
hire an automobile.
In the course of his celebration he
asked lady whom he met in the
street, if she would kindly be his
mother for a day. He meant we'll
but the lady being younger than
Hiram and not accustomed to such
familiarity from strangers, did not
feel cOmplimented by the question.
They fled from each other Soon,
Hiram bought a big custard pie in a
bake-shop and had it cut into small
iSh pieces and, having purchased pie
and plate went out upon the street
with it. He ate what he wanted of
the pie and generously offered the
rest of it to sundry people who passed
him. 1t was not impertinence in
Hiram; it was pure generosity-a de-
sire to share his riches, favored. in
some degree, by a feeling of vanity.
1t happened that Mr.. j. Patterson
Bling came along and received q
tender of pie from Mr.. Blenkinsop.
"No!" said Mr.. Bing, with that old
hammer whack in his voice which
aroused bitter memories in the mind
of Hiram.
That tone was a great piece of i'm
prudence. There was a menacing
gesture and a rapid succession of
footsteps on the pavement. Mr.. Bings
retreat was not, however, quite swift
enough to save him. The pie landed
on his shoulder. In a moment, Hiram
was arrested and marching toward
the lookup while Mr.. Bing went to
the nearest drug store to be cleaned
and secured.
A few days later Hiram Blenkinsop
arrived in Bingville. Mr.. Singleton
met him on the street and saw to
his deep regret that Hiram had been
drinking.
1--WE made up my mind that re-
ligion is good for some folks, but 1t
wont do for me-" said the latter.
"Why not?" the minister asked.

"Have you found religion a lux.

People were wont to speak of her, and
rightly, as "the salt of the earth" She
would do anything possible for a
! friend. But Mamie Bling had asked too
| much. Moreover, always it had been
understood between them that these
half-playful oaths were not to be taken
too seriously. OF course, "the fish had
to be fed" as Judge Crooker had once
put it. By "the fish," he meant that
curious under-life of the villa ge-the
voracious silent, merciless, cold
I blooded thing which fed on the sins
and follies Of men and women and
which rarely came to the surface to
bother anyone.
"The fish are very wise" Judge
Croker used to say. "They know the,
truth about every one and its well
that they do After all, they perform
an important office. There's many a.
man and woman who think they've
been fooing the fish, but they've only
fooled themselves"
And within day or two, the Sc
crets Of the Bing family were swim
ming up and down the stream of the
under-life of Bingvile.
Mr.. Bling had found situation in
the plant which was new to him. The
men We're discontinued. Their wages
were "sky high to quote a phrase of
one of the foremen. Still, they were
not satisfied. Reports of the fabu-
lous earnings of the mill had spread
among them. They had begun TO
think that they were not getting a
fair division of the proceeds of their
labor. AT meeting of the help rad
ical speaker had declared that one of
the Bing women wore a moose of pearls
on her neck worth half a million dol
lars. The men wanted more pay and
less work. A committee of their lead
ers had called at Mr. Bing's office with
a demand soon after his arrival. Mr.
Bing had said mo-. with a bang of his
fist on the table. A workers meeting
was to be held week later to act upon
the report of the committee.
Meanwhile, another cause of worry
had come or rather returned to him.
Again, Phyllis had begun to show
symptoms of the old trouble. Mrs.
Bing, arriving at dusk from a market
trip to Hazelmead with @Sophronia
Ames, had found Phyllis lying asleep
among the cushions on the great
couch in the latter's bedroom. She en-
tered the room softly and leaned over
the girl and looked into her face, now
turned toward the open window and
lighted by the fading glow in the west
ern sky and relaxed by sleep. 1t was
a sad facet There were lines and |
shadows in it which the anxious moth !
er had not seen before and-had she
been crying? Very softly, the woman |
sat down at the girls side. Darkness
fell, black, menacing shadows filled |
the corners of the room. The spirit of |
the girl betrayed its trouble in sor-
rowful groan as she slept. Roger De-
lane was coming next day. There was
every reason why Phyllis should be |
happy. Silently, Mrs. Bing left the |
room. She met Martha in the hall.
81 shall want no dinner and Mr.. Bing |
is dining in Hazelmead," she whis- |
pered. Miss Phyllis is asleep. Don't |
disturb her"
Then she sat down in the darkness |
of her own bedroom alone.
