u knew the King, our Father. There is no vain regret for
the King's child.'

"'Then I--I, too, am the King's child?' asked the man, his face amazed but
radiant, for he began to understand a great many things.

"'You, too,' returned Purity, and she nestled to him and he held her close
while the bird hovered above their heads and sang with clear sweetness,
'Love, love, love; true delight, true, true, _true_ delight.'"

The story-teller ceased. Jewel saw that the tale was finished. She jumped
up from the hassock and clapped her hands. Then she ran to Mr. Evringham
and climbed into his lap. It was so dark now on the veranda that she could
scarcely see his face. But he put his arms around her and gathered her to
her customary resting place on his shoulder. "Wasn't that _lovely_,
grandpa? Did you think your story was going to end that way?"

He stroked her flaxen hair in silence for a few seconds before replying,
then he answered, rather huskily:--

"I hoped it would, Jewel."
