For days alter Dad departed on [the Great Quest there was a eur- | fous brooding silences over the house. Mother and Siser Mary "went about i their duties in a quiet restrained manner, their eyes often filled with tears. Dad's favorite dog followed | you about the barn, the s'ables and the fleldds with a persistency tla | vas irritating. You could have shouted to him to begone a: times, [to take his melancholy face and his oft repeated almost whispered whine |away. What was it restrained the harsh words tha' were some times jon the tip of oyur tongue? The thought of one who had been an oh- ject of worship to the dog; at whose call or commands the horses you worked now had priced up their eyes and whinnied with pleasure; whose hear* and hand and voice had always been brimming with love, and help and wise counsel! for you. And now all that you had left of him that you could really muse over in love and understanding was Meom- ory. The soul of that kindly facea man had set out on the last and grea'est of Adventures. What would meet it on the way? Thoughts that had never had a place in your heart or mind came trooping in. You began to ask questions wonderingly, and occasion- ally half aloud. You almost plotured the Dad you had known meeting in the early part of kis journey the brother who had gone when you were a Gittle chap to meet death on a far away battle field. How often had you thrilled to the story as Dad told it, with pride and affection for the lad for whom the flag of Britain wis all in all. There would be Uncle Joe, too, merry, kindly and helpful-- Aut Mary, the beautiful and beloved who died within @ year of her marriage, and a host of other whose faces an names came before you--in fancy--- but as clearly as if they were shown on the moving picture screen. You thought of your own immediate fam- ily too. So far only Dad and the sol- dier brothe~ were gone forever, But if | excepting Mother, Mary, young Har- ry, who was getting restless too, and yourself, the rest were scattere over ll | many leagues of land and sea. Yon CLEARING SALE OF TIRES 'We will sell our entire stock of Tires at the following low jl | might mever see them again in the flesh. Then suddenly a poem ycu had often heard Dad repeating, came to mind but with a clearer, keener, understanding than you hed ever known. They grew in beauty side by side They fill'd one home with glee;-- | Their graves are sover'd far anil wide, By mount, and stream, and sea. The same fond mother bent at night O'ar each fair sleeping brow She had each folded flower in sight-- Where are those dreamers now? You remembered it and went on to the end; knowing at last that for Dad it 'was the story of the familyhis parents (vad raised and loved. He had come from the old land to to hew out {a rome in Canada. His brothers and sisters had gone to other parts of the world, only one of them, your Aunt Mary, had come to se'tle near you. | | Dad had never seen any of the others since he had left home, and he had never spoken of them except with love and affection. There would come a time when you too might feel that the poem hal been written to fit your case and you fell to brooding until your heart was nd the world seemed a dull | full 3 [ pimes in which suffering .and griet were dominant. and happiness a sha- 1 dow that was never grasped. But in the midst of your brooding you thought of how Dad was never ofie to give way to fits of gloom, even when he was repeating or musing over the poem you had just recall- ed. Yowthought of his calm belief in Divine guidance, of his cons'ant cheerfulness in the face of ditficul- ties, and perplexities, of his tender ness toward mother, of the Tespect and trust the neighbors had always shown him. Then and there you re- solved tha: you would be as like to him as you could, a manly man, a clean man, a helpful man, With that thought there came an appre- ciation of the glory of the day. Blue sky, flecked with tiny racing clouds, a breath in the wind that whispered of the spring that was on the way, the songs of birds, the good rich earth, all with thelr meaning and message to the heart tha: could un- derstand. It was not well you thought to dwell too long with the darker view of life. There was so much after all that was bright and true. The Dad who had gone before woulda not want you to close your eyes Lo all because he was no longer with yom in the body, to exchange a merry jest bo suggest a course of action from the knowldge he had gained by much experience, to discuss ways and means for a new undertaking. was something else too. Ever since the day when his soul had fled mother and the rest of them had looked to you to do everything that was required. Even your elder bro- ther Jim, a big man in the éndustries of a great city had commended your arrangements and plans with genuine heartiness. You thought that he looked at you very often with eyes that seemed to be appraising you. And when he was going back to the big business that needed him, he had said quietly, "I'll come as Gften as [ can to see Mother. If you need help in the meatnime wire me. But you'll hardly need tc do tha'--you"re a lot like Dad, a born manager." You glowed at the words, they im- plied more than you had hoped, for you had been a little nervous about letting Jim know what you had done so far and what you had planned for tho future. And only that very morn- ing something had beew said at howe that had impressed upon you "he thought that you had sensed, Jim wished to convey. Mother had insist- ed upon you sitting at Dad's place at dhe table in the chair that had been his favorite. Her lps had trembled a } as she urged it with gentle insistende. Sister Mary too had joined her re- quests with those of Mother. It was not easy to comply with them. Some- how jit seemed to be a usurpation. You almost felt that Dad migh* ap- pear at any minute, and give you that old time thrill that always came with his lif" of the eye brows and his pleasant jest. Mother read the thought that was running through your mind and you could see that she was strugglify with emotion. How brave she was; how true. You can feel yet the patting of her hand on your shoulder. You can cee her gen- tle, furrowed face and you can hear again the words that had decided you to carry out her wish '"'Please John-- you are the head of the house now." Do you Remember?
