"I've got it, and I've been at work on it this whole morning." Ellis Holbrook, about that time, conquered a most puzzling example in algebra; but he felt not prouder than did Tip. "Thomas," said Mr. Burrows to the head boy in Tip's arithmetic class, "you may take the twenty-third example to the board." "Can't do it," answered Thomas promptly. "Henry may do it, then."
Tip looked distressed; he didn't know what to say next; he stooped down to her at last, and spoke softly: "Oh, Kitty, I'm sorry for you! if you only would love Jesus, it would make you happy." "I want to I want to!" sobbed Kitty; "I would if I knew how." Tip's heart gave a bound of joy a surprised bound, too; he had not expected it so soon.
Nobody was to be seen; he was sitting in the hollow at the foot of the hill, and under the shade of a low branching tree. And there he knelt down to pray; and Satan drew himself away, for the spot around that kneeling boy was holy ground. Tip's soul had gained the victory. "Freely ye have received, freely give." Whether Tip felt it or not, there were some changes in his home. Mrs.
The place so familiar by day was estranged to his eyes in that pale light, and he was glad of old Tip's company, for it seemed a time when there might very well be ghosts about. The water stretched a sheet of smooth, gray silver, with little tufts of mist on its surface, and through these at last he could see the ducks softly gliding to and fro, and he could catch some dreamy sound from them.
Thad went into detail so as to let the tall Chief understand they already knew all about the discovery, and had been told, in fact, even before he was. "Yes, we took a hunt up there in the woods this morning," explained the other, with a broad smile; "and ran across some tracks that looked like Tip's.
Bob heard the rustling, and, glancing around, puckered his lips as if he were going to whistle, and, snatching the book, read the name which Mr. Holbrook had written therein; then he whispered, "You don't say so! When did we steal a Bible, and turn saint?" The blood growing hotter and redder in Tip's cheeks was his only answer; but he felt that his temptation had begun.
I long I long I long to be there!" If somebody had only known Tip's thoughts as he stood there listening to the beautiful Sabbath school hymn! If somebody had only bent down to him, and whispered a few words, just to set his poor wandering feet into the narrow way, how blessed it would have been: but nobody did. Ah, never mind! God knew, and took care of him. "They that seek Me shall find Me."
I I did worse than that." Tip's voice sank to a solemn whisper. Mr. Holbrook, too, was silent and sad; at last he said, "What, Edward! do you mean to give up, and go back to the old life?" And he remembered, years after, just how painfully his heart throbbed while he waited for Tip's answer; it was prompt and plain: "No, sir; God wouldn't even let me do that." And then for a minute Mr.
Below us, a narrow strip of evergreen wound away to the south as far as our eyes could reach, and at wide intervals thin columns of smoke sifting through the trees marked the abodes of the dwellers of Tip's Elysium. Peace must be there, if peace dwells in a land where all that breaks the stillness seems the drifting of the smoke through the pine boughs.
He dances pretty tolerable frequent, too! He's got to do it to-night, an' he'd better hurry up some!" Soon after the sound of the striking clock had died away, Tip's keen eyes saw a figure steal around one side of the house from the rear. "Here comes Rip, now. He's on time," thought Tip. "Huh! It's a pity -fer -him that he wouldn't take a new think an' chase me.
