"Here conies Henry," Ellen said.
She could always tell Henry, even
when he. was far away, because of the
slow way lie stumped across the field.
Mother looked up from the pile of
blankets she was folding and sighed.
"He probably wants something. He
always does," she said.
Henry was their neighbor on the
Pimo Indian reservation. He was not
a very good neighbor and he was not
a very good farmer. Pima land is hard
to farm, It has very little water and
crops are scant. But Henry made less
of it than most people. Ellen's father
and the tribal elders tried to help him.
But nobody could do much for him.
Henry did not like 4o work; he just
liked to sit. His square adobe house
usually needed repairs. But one part
of it was always in good condition.
That was "the shade" at the side. A
"shade" is a kind of arbor covered
over with green river weeds. There
Henry could be found sitting on any
hot day. In the cool weather he could
be found sitting In the sun at the
other side of the house.
Now here he came, just when Ellen
and her parents were packing for the
all-day drive to Vah-ki for the yearly
church camp meeting.
"My best cow is sick," Henry said.
"I shall come and see," father said.
He stopped putting the blankets and
food into the. wagon. He and Henry
walked across the field,
"That Henry:" said Mother.
Indians do not talk very much.,4But
Ellen knew tl,kat,,her mother thought
Henry a great nuisance.
Father knew how to look after
sick animals. He was always ready
to help. Fifteen years ago ho had
gone to the mission school for Ind-
ians. He had always been a Christian, ,
as most Pimas are, for the Presby-
terian Church has worked among
them for many years, At the school
he had learned many things, both
from books and from people. Some-
times he would tell Ellen and her
mother about school. But One thing
he never told them. It was that when
he had been a boy at the mission
school he had wanted to become a
missionary. Beyond the Pima reserva-
tion lived the Papago tribe. Most of
them were not Christians. The Pima
churches planned to send their own
missionaries to the Papagos. How
much, how very much Father had
wanted to give his life to this world
But his own father became sick and
needed him at home. Quietly Father
put away his own wishes and went
back to his village. There for fifteen
years he had farmed and helped his
neighbors, and once a year had made
the long journey to Sacaton or Vah-ki,
or wherever the yearly camp meeting
was held.
Ellen waited through the long
hours until Father came back. He said
Henry's cow would get well. But by
that time it was nearly dark.
"We'll eat supper and start," Father
said, "It is mote pleasant driving at
night anyway."
Across the Desert
An hour later they were on their
way and by the time it was really
dark Ellen was asleep in the bottom
of the \wagon. Bumpety-bump the
wagon went across the desert. Bump-
ety-bti-mnp: Mother nodding against
Father's shoulder, was almost asleep,
Father turned and looked at her,
"This is far enough for tonight,"
he said, "We shall start again before
sunrise."
Within a quarter of an hour the
horses were unhitched and staked out
and Father, Mother and Ellen were
all asleep in the botttom of the Wagon,
blankets over and under them, and
the bundles of food and pans pushed
into the corners.
At The Camp Meeting
Earty in the morning the little
family were bumping their way again
and before noon, they teethed the
village where the camp meeting was
to be held. The wagon was soon tin,,
packed and their own camp set uti.
Then they went to see What was going
on, They found a Pinta minister and

leader.

The Pima minister asked Father to
help with keeping the records and
writing up reports, Mother was asked
to see that new people, not familiar
with camp meetings, knew what was
going on each day.1 Miss Ford asked
Ellen to help her with the new child-
ren who were coming.
It was a wonderful camp meeting. It
lasted four days. In the daytime there
were worship services, Bible classes,
children's story hours, and playtime.
In the evening the campfires burned
far into the night. They made a pretty
sight, twinkling brightly in the dark-

them for friendly talks, There were
