"But it looked for a'time as though I should take more interest in an old-folks home," he said, with a laugh, "Those conastwise steamers think nothing of getting in a couple of days before they are scheduled or eight or ten days behind. In my case they took the ten 'days behind time. The crazy old engines broke down, as I wired you from New Or- leans." ' "You should have started earlier," she scolded, 'but I'm not going to start right in to lecture; I know that it was all you could do to get here, arvhow, and it was dear of you to want to come back and see the 'old home when all your interests are so far away now." / > "I'm sorry, though, that you came to-day. It's Jike the morning after the party. Everybody is tired and cross, and it will be two or three days be- fore things are right again. We don't mind, of course, but it is _not nice for you to come in for the first" time three years to find the place in con- fusion." Everywhere there were signs of the celebration Yat was past. Along the street, men were perched on the poles taking down the strings of incandes- cent bulbs that had festooned the line of march, and here gnd there a wel- coming arch was already in process of destruction and was beginning to show the frame of lath and scantling that had been masked by bunting and id mn al. "All your people were here," . ox- plained Grace, as they turned in the direction of the hotel. 'They could only stay the first two days, but y enjoyed that, though they were Sorry that they could not be here to wel- come you." "You seem to be looking after my end entirely to my satisfaction," = de- clared Peyton Bradley. "Yours is the first familiar face I have seen in three years: People from Beamisville never get down to Central America." "Except yourself," corrected Grace. "You have heen very - successful, Pey- ton. At the opening meeting they spoke of you as one of the men who were a pride to the town." "I'm glad of that," declared Pey- ton Bradley, with-a rumbling laugh, "I remember that in my younger days it was the 'general belief that 'that 'Peyton Bradley' was bound to get himself hung. TI believe a lot of old ladies are still disappointed that I aidn't." ' "And lots of young ones who are glad that you didn't," amended Grace as they passed a bevy of high school girls who east admiring glances at the stranger with the splendid physique and the strong, mobile face.
