Time moved steadily onward The Isecthinr
spot on the surface of trade, where Mr.. Cart
wrightwcnt down, was obiiterated by the ON.
ward-inoving currents and he was scarcely re.
membered in the business circles where once his
busy face was familiar object ,rsrs ,li ..f ,
But there was one who could never thrust
aside his image; one in whose memory His pres
ence was a rambling thorn. Many times had he
tried to pluck out this thorn by secret acts of
kindness to the family of Mr.. Cartwright But
'the effort only-seemed to make the anguish more
intense; for the little he offered by stealth con-
tr"sted SO poorly with the allsustaining life,
deeds of q husband and father, that he was
shamed back into impotence. b so5 a1dT 5
The case was hopeless. That single act Of un.
kindness, so fatal in its consequences, was done
forever. 1t had gone beyond his utmost reach,
and there was no surgeon skilled. enough to ex.
trasttlie thorn it had left to rankie in his mem.
