I rather liked the flavor of St. Lawrence all wrough, but Jeflerson is a leetle gritty." We sat in silence a long time after the train was off, a mighty sadness holding our tongues. Uncle Eb, who had never ridden a long journey on the cars before, had put on his grand suit of broadcloth. The day was hot and dusty, and before we had gone far he was sadly soiled. But a suit never gave him any worry once it was on. He sat calmly, holding his knee in his hands and looking out or the open win- dow, a squint inlhis eyes that stood for some high degree of interest in the scenery. “What do you think of this country?

Our home at last was emptied 0: its young, and even as they looked the shadow of old age must have fallen suddenly before them. I knew how they would go back into that lonely room and how, while the clock went on with in ticking, Elizabeth would sit down and cover her face for a mo- ment, while David would make haste to take up his chores. er. 1 mn wager ne't’x‘feiv 185's imco whatmannerotmanlmmdhu meuuredmetothomcdonotan 1nd: and know: even tho color of my halrandeyestromhadngbeenso long in my company.
