"Chad." the "little shepherd" did not know who he was nor whence hecame--he had just wandered from door to door since early childhood,seeking shelter with kindly mountaineers who gladly fathered andmothered this waif about whom there was such a mystery--a charmingwaif, by the way, who could play the banjo better that anyone else inthe mountains.
