What would you say, Jippy, if you had a sister they said was goin' to die ? " " I reckon I could n't do any better 'n say 'please, God, don't let her.'" " Then git right down on your knees, an' say it three or four times, — but not too loud, for fear she '11 hear." Jippy knelt by the bedside, clasped his dirty hands over his eyes, and said slowly: — 64 THE BOYS' REVOLT. " Please, God, don't let Sam's Alice die." "Give it once more, Jippy, an' try a little louder." Three times was the petition r...epeated fervently, earnestly, devoutly, and who shall say that the waiting- angels did not carry the prayer to the Throne as swiftly as if it had come to them in more courtly phrase. 14 1 hope it '11 do some good," Jippy said, with a sigh* as he arose to his feet; "but I ain't square enough myself to have sich things count. I '11 go now to see what I can do toward earnin' money, an' you may expect me back 'bout dark. Don't git to feelin' bad* 'cause the fellers '11 help out till you 're better; an* there ain't any use worryin' while you 're so much banged-up." Then Jippy hurried away without waiting for a reply.
