Ellen was as innocent as Gibbs OF any
prearranged planning to that effect
They simply felt the possibility In the
air.
Presently Gibbs mind had seized
strongly upon the idea. He would go
TO New York, and find a studio. and see
what the prospect was of painting por-
traits there. After Tommy's birth. al

Now Gibbs began TO think he would
like to show his father the stalwart
Tommy who spoke two languages at
FIVE. and played his little violin so
nicely.
Then, abruptly. it was settled. and
they began to wonder how they had
managed to stay away so long. Ellen.

sometimes In her packing to look out
of the undraped studio window. They
had been so happy here since the mar

And then came the memory of Fifth

sound of ones own tongue spoken on

smile again.
She smiled now as the little boy and

Gibbs was young at thirty-eight. de-

playing bridge. and was glad to get
into the fresh air, after the hot smok-

When a frail ship landed on a strange
shore,
1t was the Pilgrims boat of yore.
Then a boat was lowered from the
ships side
And little it seemed on the ocean SO
wide
But the boat was ground upon a
large rock
And the wind OF these people did
mock.
The long hard winter these people
did brave
And when spring came there was
many a grave
On side of the hill meath a field of
corn
For the Indian these people had
scorn.
But n day in November when hope
was grown dim
From those in the village there rose
a great din
For there, out in the ocean so blue
Was a ship sent from England to
the people so true.
So we should give thanks to our
wonderful fate,
When we remember the ship came
almost too late
And think Of u blessings and send
up prayers
To the Heavenly Father who watches
and cares
