Because Gallio prided himself on his supreme disregard of human life though he never extended the theory beyond his own he naturally rode forty miles to the Mission with a tiny brown girl-baby on his saddle-bow. 'Here is something for you, Padri, said he. 'The Kols leave their surplus children to die. 'Don't see why they shouldn't, but you may rear this one.
A girl-baby three years old could have fooled Methusaleh in his prime, an' that means after he'd had about six hundred years of experience. She's a wonderful invention, woman. All the while before Barbie left, she was tryin' to plan out what use she was goin' to put her edication to.
Then her husband also died, and Dora took up dressmaking, supporting herself and her delicate little girl-baby. Daniel adored this child. She had been named for him, although her mother had been aghast before the proposition. "Name a girl Daniel, uncle!" she had cried.
She carried a boy-baby in her arms: hitherto a girl-baby, apparently about a year old, had been the youngest. Three of the bigger girls were her nurses, but they shared their treasure with all the rest. Among the Little Ones, dolls were unknown; the bigger had the smaller, and the smaller the still less, to tend and play with. Lona came to me and laid the infant in my arms.
The whole service was to me an inspiring illustration of New Testament order and simplicity, for my address and the sermon of Doctor Ashmore which followed had been preceded by free participation of members of the church, in which one happy father arose to give thanks for the birth of a girl-baby, after five sons had been given him a great change from the time when new-born girls were despised and often thrown out into the street.
"I have heard my mother say," he said, "that when a boy is born, the Fairy of the Moon ties an invisible red cord round his right foot, and the other end of the cord round the foot of the girl-baby whom he is to marry." "That is quite true," said the maiden; "and this is an invisible cord to people who are awake. Now I will tell you my name, and remember it when you hear it again. It is Yun-Ying."
