About a year passed away. Then, one late
evening in the fall, the parson heard some
body cropping in the entry, and feeling for the
lock. He opened the door, and tall but
STOPPING man came in; he was thin and had
gray hairs. The parson looked at him for
long while before he knew him; it was Thord.
"Thou comest late," said the parson, and he
stood still before him.
eyes, come late" said Thord. He sat
down.
The parson sat down, too, as if he waited.
There was silence for long time.
Then said Thord: 81 have something with
me which wish TO give to the poor" He
stood up, laid money on the table, and sat
down again. The parson counted it. at Isa
great sum-" said be.
"Half of what have; sold my farm to-
day"
The parson sat in long silence. At last he
asked mildly: "What will you do now?"
Something better"
They sat awhile; Thord with his eyes on
the floor, the parsOn with his eyes on Thord.
Then said the parson, slowly and very mildly;
Snow think thy son has at last become
blessing unto thee"
81 think so, too" said Thord; he looked up,
and two tears dropped heavily down his
cheeks.-The Aldine for September.

Ten days after that day, the father and son
were rowing in calm weather, over the water
to Storiden, to speak about the wedding-feast.
"This seat is not firm under me-" said the
son; he rose to make it right. But the board
he stood upon slipped. He threw up his arms,
shrieked, and fell into the water.
"Take hold of this oar" said the father; he
stood up and held it out. But when the son
had made few strokes he grew stiff.
"Wait minute" cried the father; he rowed
toward him. But the son fell back, looked
longingly at the father, and sank.
Ihord could not believe it. He kept the
boat stiff and stared at the spot where the son
had gone down, as if he must come up once
more. Some bubbles arose, some few more,
then one big one that burst, and smooth lay
the water like glass.
For three days and three nights the people
saw the father rowing about this one spot,
taking neither food nor sleep; he sought for
his son. On the third day, toward morning,
he found him and bore him home up over the
hills.

He stood one day in the parsons study, tall
and grave. 81 have a son." he said, "and

"What shall be his name?"
"Finn, after my father"
Sand the godfathers?"
Thord told their names, and they were the
best men of the parish, and women of his own
kin.
"Is there anything more?" asked the par
son; he looked up.
Thord stood a moment. 81 would like to
have him baptized alone," said he.

"No. that is all"
ThOrd fumbled with his cap; he was about
to leave. Then the parson stood up, went
straight to him, and grasped his hand. "God
give" said he, looking into his eyes, "that this
| child be blessing unto thee."
Sixteen years after that day Thord stood
once more in the parsons study. "Thou
keepest on quite well, Thord," said the par
son; he could see no change in him.
"FoI have no grief" answered Thord.
To this the parson said nothing, but after
awhile he asked: "What is thy errand to-
night?" gM,
