The coming of the child had taken from her life many hours of association with Billy, sweet as only mothers know; yet May Nell’s influence had softened and refined Billy, enlarged his vision. “When I heerd Par swear I run inter the kitchen, an’ there he stood with suthin red orl down his face an’ neck.
