The door was opened by a woman whose eyes looked as if she hadforgotten how to smile, but a light flashed into them at sight of hervisitor. She hurriedly dusted a chair with her apron, and as thebishop took it he lifted to his knee one of the little ones clingingto the mother's skirts. There were four little children, but one lay, pale and motionless on a bed in one corner of the room.
"She is sick?" inquired the bishop, his voice full of sympathy, as helooked at the small, wan face.
The woman'...s eyes filled with tears.
"Yes, " she answered, "I doubt I'm goin' to lose her, an' I feel Iought to be glad for her sake--but I can't. " She bent over the littleform and kissed the heavy eyelids.
"Tell me all about it, my daughter, " the bishop said, and the womanpoured out her story--the old story of a husband who provided for hisfamily after a fashion, when he was sober, but left them to starvewhen the drink demon possessed him. He had been away now for threeweeks, and there was no money for medicine for the sick child, or foodfor the others.
