Oh, it's so nice to be able to run to my dear father whenever I want to, and always to be so kindly received that I can't feel any doubt that he loves me dearly. Ah, how I pity poor Maxie that he can't see you for weeks or months!" "And don't you pity papa a little that he can't see Maxie?" he asked, with a smile and a sigh. "Oh, yes! yes indeed!
"And perhaps I'll learn to like writing letters, when it's just to please Maxie and comfort him," said Grace, wiping away her tears and trying to smile. "I hope so, darling," her father replied, bestowing another kiss upon the sweet little tear-stained face. "But now, my dears," he added, "put on your hats; it is time to go back to the Dolphin."
Blosser, I want to tell my husband about it he'll be awful interested. Say, listen, Poppa, this gentleman here knows Maxie Hockstein out in Grand Rapids." ... "Do you think so, really? A lot of people have said that very same thing to me.
I'm so sorry for you, papa, and I mean to do all I can to supply his place. What do you suppose Maxie is doing just now, papa?" "Doubtless he is in his room preparing his lessons for to-morrow. The bugle-call for evening study-hour sounds at half-past seven, and the lads must be busy with their books till half-after nine."
Dey had a big dinnah ready foh me, but I wuz too excited to eat. I worked foh Mastah Maxie too, helpin' with de horses an' doin' chores. Mammy cum' an wuz de cook. I got some clothes and a few cents an' travelers give me small coins foh tending dere horses an' I done done odd jobs here an dere.
You must tell me." "My father our father " He covered his face with his hands and sobbed aloud. "O Max, what about papa?" she cried wildly. "Oh, don't say anything has happened to him! I couldn't bear it! oh I couldn't! but I must know. O Maxie, tell me what it is?" She had put her arms round his neck and laid her cheek to his. He returned the embrace, hugging her tightly to his breast.
"That's quite true, but it's a great deal easier to preach than to practise," she said. "Maxie, would you be sorry to have me sent away?" she asked, her voice taking on a beseeching tone. "Why, of course I should," he said. "We've gone through a good deal together, and you know we've always been rather fond of each other, considering that we're brother and sister," he added laughingly.
"And how rich we feel with our dear, dear father! to say nothing of our dear, sweet Mamma Vi and the two darling babies!" responded Lulu, putting her arm about his neck and her lips to his. "Yes; and our dear big brother Maxie," added Grace. "Yes, I was just going to mention him," said Lulu. "I am both very fond and very proud of Max.
"Well," exclaimed Lulu, "Max used his talent to do good that time. Didn't he, papa?" "He did, indeed," replied the captain. "I hope that poor horse will, as a consequence, receive better treatment in future." "I'm so glad Maxie could frighten the man so and make him stop treating it so dreadfully," remarked Grace, with a sigh of relief.
Where did he come from, Max?" Rosie asking, "Whose is he?" "Mine; a present from papa," replied Max, sitting proudly erect, and patting the pony's neck; "but I don't know where he came from, aunt Zoe. You'll have to ask papa if you want to know." "You're in luck, Maxie," she said lightly. "Yes, indeed. I was born in luck when I was born my father's son."
