friends and be named them ono by one who had oolleoted at her home near by to wish them well and at la8t of that real home coming the ettlibg down in tbe poor little attio rooms which hia lovo and thought bad made so oweot and snag and oosy and the violets bho put io quickly dont forget tho violets tim ho paused again and she watohel him keenly and anxiously yes moll he resumed presently dont let us shirk it old girl then but hia voine aoanded strange and she oould barely catoh the wordsthen oarae that grand first dinner party of oars you and me for guests and fish fried abu it was with potatoes fried potatoes and i do nit know what besides andyoaaughod no becauao i ooutdnt help to book them do you remember moll do you remem ber and throwing baok his head timothy barat suddenly into a laugh so strange and wild that it well nigh tore poor mollys heart in two then as suddenly eeasing he buried his faoe in bis hand- and cobbed as though bis heart must break white the quiet tears rau eevn bis old oheek too and what could bbe say to comfort htm for nine and thirty years that little anniversary feast had been celebrated ao wo r thilyely eryi temotthathap py-firat- ward way aoross that q uiet bit of the pai k paused for a moment to gazo at a soma- what unusual sfght it was that of tho littlo old man weak and tottering himself but pushing bravely and bteadily on with eyes firmly flied on the still far distant gates and carrying on his baok her thin arms clasped about hia neak her hands flrmily grubpod in liis an old eiok woman moljy his wife a young girls woe meal together repeated and now oh my alolli my moll he sobbed you must m without it tnduy ivo no money left not even a penny poor girl my poor old rrl she darod not tro3t herself to fpaak only stroked the irey headsoftly tenderly suddenty he raided it und looking not at htr but at the doctors shilling he pointed eagerly to it molll but she shook her head sadly it was for the cab tim there is neither train uor bus to belp me and i mub go in you know he ait still once more lost in thought then jumping dp excitedly he stood before her and spoke fast and eagerly moll think i you know the park quite wear coald yon with my arm my btronjjvarm dear ooold you walk to its gates ill carry yon through its not jar and then why then its bat a step on tbe other bide to the hospital door do you see old woman do you pee moll nodded but looked confused the nod however apparently 8ntiefod liira for he offered no further explanation only aaked it she minded beiur left by heraej for a bit and then smiling mysteriousl disa left alone molly lay still too tired and weak to wonder maoh at anything while her mind wandered dreamily back again over the page of that old life story whose joys and sorrows seemed today to hatve beoome so btrangely merged in one till at last she remembered no more tbe tired eyes closed wearily and calmly and peace fully old molly slept timothys reentrance awakened ber and she smiled a welcome hearts are kind and nioro than one friendly offer qf help bad been given to timothy but though ratelur for the offers be had seemed aljxoat impatient at the delay and declining all assistance had plodded quietly on againj ho could hardly have told how often he had stopped to rest alnco first that strange journey bad begun certainly each time that tbo sholtcr of a headly seat had been gained often of oeoessity when there had been no suoh help at hand somehow he had fancied btcdbelf bo jnuch stronger than had proved to be tbe case for it burely could not be that molly was heavier than be had imagined and she so weak and ill at first her cough bad been terribly bad and it had torn and hurt him so to hoar it but of lato it had seemed to get bettor and at lastit bad ceased altogether and very gratefully timothy bad thanked god for that a few moments ajgolfcey had atop- edtorestagainforthaiait timeandher bad questioned ber tenderly an te how she did her face looked paler bo thought bat sheseemed easy and happy and she smilod so sweetly at him ai ehe answered rather drowsily quite comfortable tim othy only very sleepy goodnight my man and he had kisbcd tar lips tenderly and rovently as he always did and then oheered and comforted had once more pushed on ah there was the park gatea almost reached at last and indeed it was time for his old arms ached terribly and his old knees threatened to fail himaltogether ho spoke encouragingly to her from time to time hue she had evidently fallen asleep for slio diduot imswfl hira it wkabattflr eo he thought for now she could not gacsa how tired be was and it would have hurt and vexed him sorely had she known it his good old loving moll 1 only a few more weary steps and the gates were really gaitiod passing through them on they went tlicsd two btrange travelers and the fittlo band of urohins- in thoir wake noticed that just before the great door of the hospital osoqb in sight the old man panted mors and more and his poor littlo stock of strength seemed almost exhausted yes tbe labor of love svm all but over now one more effort aud the goal waa reached worn and weary and spent with fatigue but btill olaeping tight that prec ious burden timothy stu retted up the lbt bteps and asfriendly arnos drew him into tbe safe shelter of that lire lit hull and kindly faces looking pitinj1y into lii- the plaoeeare7dsuddenly to beoomo confused and misty the voices to recede further away till at labt wrapped in a merciless unoonsoiousuess he remembered 00 roor faithful unto death bli tqbk was done that kiss in the park sealed their last good bye and bis loving old arms had carried her titheend for as thty geotly unclasped er arms from aboat hia neck they say molly was dead they would so willingly have kept him on at least for a day or two till ho should have recovered somewhat from the shock of tbe first sad awakening bat the old man was firm the littlo attio room was hi for a week or two louger and then why then there was the house he said the dreaded law of separation had lorft all power to hort him now he would just take one more look at her and then go tenner they went with him to where she lay tho matron and the doctor rjot the friend ly yonng doctor of tho morning but an other whose face looked unsatisfied and tired something had gone amiss with bis life springs of lato and siaoo then he had ceased to believe in tho divine possi bility of good either human or divine and now be eyed timothy with a haifoorloas halfpitying gaze the latter ahed no tear bad shod none indeed since first they broke tho news to him tbe comfort of them might come later perhaps and there was limes enough he stood by her bids now perfectly com posed and oalm soannlag earnestly each stilt feature as though to learn it the better by heart then he laid bis honest old workworn hand on hers and kept it there for a moment the ring whispered the doctor to the matron it may buy hiro a drop of 00m- fori at least lot him have it she hesitated then touching timothy geutly on the arm she pointed to it you will like to have it perhaps ehe aaked softly he glaucod down at it aaoh a poor little line of gold worn thin in- long and loving service for him and shook hid head thank you tnvaro he answered gratefully youre very kind but id rather not come good or ill my old woman wouw never
