Yet such experiences never shook his faith in Cousin Henry. His constancy was very like Pluto s. There are men, as well as dogs and boys, who will take kicks from one and resent a look from another. 53 THE HIRED HAND AND THE Hired Hand was Johnnie s oracle. His auguries were infallible ; from his decisions there was no appeal. The wisdom of experienced age was his, and he always stood willing to impart it to the youngest. No question was too trivial for him to consider, and none too abstruse fo...r him to answer. He did not tell Johnnie to "never mind" or wait until he grew older, but was ever willing to pause in his work to explain things. And his oracular qualifications were genuine. He had traveled had even been as far as the State Fair; he had read from Robinson Cru soe to Dick the Dead Shot, and, more than all, he had meditated deeply. The Hired Hand s name was Eph. Perhaps he had another name, too, but if so it had become obsolete. Far and wide he was known simply as Eph. Eph was generally termed "a cur ous feller, " 54 THE HIRED HAND AND "HA NTS" and this characterization applied equally well to his peculiar appearance and his inquiring dispo sition.
