Pat Bliggin’s mind was undoubtedly wandering, so a drastic question was in order. “We left him by the creek, Ma, playing in the sand,” was the reply. “When Betty and me tried to make him come in he slapped us.” If he was more thoughtful, quiet, at home, his hours of play were more keenly enjoyed as they grew daily fewer.

You’re dreadfully hurt! I must send for Doctor Carter, and—” They all went off, a merry, noisy troop. And the disappearing sun was the last to say to Billy “Good-night.” Now he crept through the brush by the roadside till he came close under the west wall. The setting sun blazed red fire at him from the windows, reminding him sharply of the hour..
