Picking up the hair-brush, he held

facedly. "I can ’t see extry well th ij

"W hy, Abe! I t ’s slicked ez slick e<

wife reached up as he bent his ta ll
angular form over her, and smoothed
again hla thin, wet locks. He laughed
a little, self-mockingly, and she
laughed back, then urged him into the
hall, and, slipping ahead, led the wajf
dow nstairs. A t th e first landing, which
brought them into full view of the
low er hall, he paused, possessed with
the mad desire to run aw ay and hide,
for a t the foot of the stairw ay stood
the entire flock of old ladies. Twenty-
nine pairs of eyes were lifted to him
and Angy, tw enty-nine pairs of lips
w ere sm iling a t them. To th e end of
his days A braham rem em bered those
sm iles.
R eassuring, unselfish and
tender, they m ade the old m an's h eart
swell, his em otions go w arring to'
gether.
He wondered, was grateful, yet hei
grew m ore confused and afraid. He
stared amazed a t Angeline, who
seem ed the em bodim ent of self-posses­
sion, lifting h e r dainty, proud little
gray head higher and higher. She
turned to A braham with a protecting,
m otherly little gesture of command
for him to follow, and m arched gab
lantly on down the stairs. Humbly,
trem bling a t the knees, he cam e with
gingerly steps a fte r the little old wife.
How unw orthy he was of h er now!
How unw orthy he had alw ays been,
yet never realized to the full until this
moment. He knew w hat those sm iles
m eant, he told him self, w atching the
uplifted faces; they were to soothe
his sense of sham e and hum iliation,
to touch with rose this dull gray color
of the culm ination of his failures. He
passed his hand over his eyes, fiercely
praying th at the tears m ight not come
to add to his disgrace.
And all the while brave little Angy
kept sm iling, until with a truly glad
leap of the h e a rt she caught sight of
a blue ribbon painted in gold shining
on the breast of each one of the
tw enty-nine women. A pale blue rib­
bon painted in gold with—yes, peering
her eyes she discovered th a t it was
the word "W elcom e!” The forced
sm ile vanished from A ngeline's face.
H er eyes grew wet, her cheek white.
H er proud figure shrank. She turned
and looked back at her husband. Not
for one Instant did she appropriate
th e com plim ent to herself. "T his is
for you!” h er sp irit called out to him,
w hile a new pride dawned in her
w orking face.
F orty years had she sp en t apologiz­
ing for A braham , and now she under­
stood how these tw enty-nine generous
old h e a rts had raised him to the pedes­
tal of a hero, while she stood a heroine
beside him. Angy it was who trem bled
now, and Abe, gaining a m anly cour­
age from th at, took hold of her arm
to steady her—they had paused on a
step n ear the foot of the sta irs—and,
looking around with his whimsical
sm ile, he dem anded of the bedecked
company in general, "Ladles, be yew
’spectin' the president?"
Cackle w ent the cracked old voices
of the tw enty-nine in a chorus of ap­
preciative laughter, while the old
heads bobbed a t one another as if to
say, "W on’t he be an acquisition?"
And then, from among the group there
cam e forw ard Blossy—Blossy, who had
sacrificed m ost th a t tills should come
to pass; Blossy, who had sa t till mid­
night painting the gold-and-blue rib­
bons; Blossy, the pride and beauty
of the home, in a delicate, old, yellow,
real lace gown. She held her two
hands gracefully and m ysteriouely be­
hind h er back as she advanced to the
foot of the stairs. Looking steadily
in A braham ’s eyes, she kep t a-smillng
until he felt as it the w arm th of a
belated spring had beamed upon him.
“The p re sid e n t!” H er mellow, well-
m odulated voice shook, and shd
laughed w ith a m ingling of generoug
Joy and ten d er pity. "A re we expect­
ing the president? You dear, modeel
man! We a re welcoming—you!”
Abe looked to Angy as if to say,
“How shall I tak e it?" and behold! the
m iracle of his wife’s bosom swelling
and sw elling with pride in him. He
turned back, for Blossy was m aking a
speech. His hand to his head, he
bent his good e ar to listen. In terras

had found a stanch old oak for their
clinging. "M e?" queried A braham ot
him self and, with another silent
glance, of Angy.
