The fun became so fast and furious that it was obliged to end in sheer exhaustion; so when Tom came in an hour later, he was unable to revive it sufficiently to secure the stolen glass of beer which he had coveted. Sam Kimper did not seem to notice the disappearance of the more active portion of the family. Taking the baby in his arms, he sat with closed eyes while his wife cleared the table.
"All the more reason why others of the same kind should have some encouragement to do better, my child." "But, mother," persisted Eleanor, "what possible good will it do that Kimper girl for us merely to recognize her in the street?" "You may do as much more for her as you choose, if you think mere courtesy is not enough.
Then Sam devoted himself to practice by talking aloud, and Tom became so amused by the changes in his father's intonation that he finally was obliged to go home and tell his mother and Mary. "Stop that, right away!" exclaimed Mrs. Kimper, as soon as Tom got fairly into his story. "Your father ain't goin' to be laughed at in his own house, by his own family, while I'm around to stand up for him."
Prency, that gal has broke my heart. I don't have no influence over her at all. You want me to help you out about your daughter. I am goin' to do it just as far as heaven will give me the strength to do it. Now I want to throw myself right at your feet an' beg you, for the love of God, to try to do somethin' for my child." "Why, Mr. Kimper, certainly," said the judge's wife.
"You said you wanted these shoes made out of soft leather an' with pretty thin soles, Mr. Bartram?" "Yes, yes; make them any way you please." Then the lawyer left the room and closed the door with a crash that caused the new cobbler to look up apprehensively. Little by little the Kimper family was made more comfortable and put in better condition for the coming winter.
If dat's de vay mit dem men, vy isn't it true dat Sam Kimper is a good deal better off mit vat he's got dan he vould be midout anyding at all in de vay of religion?" "Oh, Conrad," said the deacon, "you were brought up in darkness and error! You don't understand. I've got that Sam Kimper on my mind so much that I'm just keeping our minister after him all the time."
Then Eleanor's eyes took a very different expression, and she began to devote herself intensely to her sewing. "If you are very sure," said Bartram, "that your husband is not at home, I must seek him elsewhere, I suppose. Good day! Ah, I beg pardon. I did not notice I was not aware that it was you, Miss Kimper.
Prency," said he, resuming his work again with violent energy, "it's the hardest question that ever come up to me in all my life. It's harder than bein' in jail or breakin' off drinkin' or anythin' else that I ever tried. It's even harder than goin' to work; I give you my word it is." "Mr. Kimper," said the lady, "I'll tell you what I'll do.
It don't seem, ma'am, to me that it's very big business for a smart feller like him to be in, when he knows what a common sort of a feller I am, an' what little I've got, an' how much I need all that I've got, if I'm goin' to keep straight any more." "Mr. Kimper," said the lady, "try not to look at it in that way. He is not trying to break you down; he is trying to satisfy himself.
