Evringham cleared his throat. "Madam," he said, lowering his voice, "that child has a most amazing talent." "Jewel's voice, do you mean?" "She'll sing, I'm sure of it," he replied, "but I mean for music in general. Eloise is an accomplished pianist. She has one piece that Jewel especially enjoyed, the old Spring Song of Mendelssohn. Probably you know it." Julia shook her head. "I doubt it.
"I'm sorry you have been allowed to be notional. Children should eat what is set before them. Taste of it." "I I couldn't, please." Jewel's face was averted. Mrs. Forbes touched an electric bell. The maid reappeared. "Remove the omelet, Sarah, and bring Miss Julia a glass of milk." That was the order, but oh, the tone of it!
Ballard about it to-night." As soon as Eloise had seen her grandfather drive to the station she eluded her mother, and gathering her white negligee about her, went softly up to Jewel's room and stood at the closed door. All was still. She opened the door stealthily. With all her care it creaked a little. Still no sound from within.
"God's children love one another every minute, every minute." "So Mr. Reeves told you where you can go to church," said Eloise, replying to Jewel's last bit of information. "Yes, and" the little girl was going on eagerly to suggest that her cousin accompany her, when suddenly Dr. Ballard's eyes seemed looking at her and repeating their protest. She stopped, and ate for a time in silence. Mrs.
"I can understand your mother's being too self-respecting to pass thirty," he returned, "but just why your father shouldn't, I fail to understand." "Why, it's error to be weak and wear spectacles and have things, isn't it?" asked Jewel, with such swift earnestness that Mr. Evringham endeavored to compose his countenance. "Have things?" he repeated. Jewel's head fell to one side.
"I'm satisfied with my minister," returned Zeke, almost smiling. Eloise and Mr. Bonnell came out to the carriage, so there was no further time for talk. The subject remained in Jewel's mind, however. On Wednesday morning, just before Mr. Evringham went to the station, the child seized him in the hall. "Grandpa, don't you think it would be nice to go in the trolley car to church to-night?"
Anna Belle, who always gave unwinking attention to the lesson, was in Jewel's lap, and the child twisted out the in-turning morocco foot as she spoke. "Why, I'd know that one thought of God couldn't be afraid of another," she replied in the conclusive tone to which Eloise could never grow accustomed.
The doctor carefully selected a bottle of liquid and set it on the table. "I think this one will do us." Jewel's remark on the train about materia medica recurred to him, and he smiled. "Dr. Ballard, aren't you a Christian?" she asked suddenly. He glanced up. "I hope so." "Then you'll forgive me if I won't take medicine.
The countenances of the others showed consternation. Mrs. Forbes turned pale. Had Zeke done anything, or left something undone? She dropped her tray and hastened after Mr. Evringham. Eloise noticed that Jewel's eyes were closed. In a minute the child pushed back from the table, and without a word to the others she hurried to the scene of trouble. She met Mrs.
"And what is impudent?" "Don't you know?" suspiciously. "No, sir," replied the child, some anxiety clouding her bright look. "Is it error?" Mr. Evringham regarded her rather blankly. "It's something you mustn't be," he replied at last. Jewel's face cleared. "Oh no, I won't then," she replied earnestly. "You tell me when I'm it, because I want to make you happy." Mr. Evringham cleared his throat.
