event could hardly take place in our little
household without awakening the curiosi-
ty of two people as young and romantic as
May and 1. Indeed, greatly fear that the
little lady so far yielded to the impulses of
her sex as even to question young Willow
in roundabout way; but the lad was
plainly enough schooled to silence, and you
had only to look at his square, strongly
built chin to learn how helpless II would
be to urge him when once his mind was
made up. He only smiled and put the
question by, as a man would have done,
and Lefore us, at least, neither father nor
son spoke of II again during the next
month.
The pleasant hazy November days came
and went, and one evening on my return
home l learned that Mr.. Willow had sui-
fered from second attack of faintness, and
from my wife / heard that the lad hadlet fall
that his grandfather had called once more,
and that the two men had bad another brief
and bitter meeting. The following morn-
ing, as went to my work, saw the strap
ger walking TO and fro on the far side Of
the street. Nothing could be more pitiable
than his whole look and bearing, because
nothing Is sadder to see than man of gem
tie breeding so worn with some great sor-
| row as to have become shabby from mere
neglect of himself. He peered across the
| s,roo, lool,ed nm at tbe windows and at
tho sbon. and Mt last walked feebly away,
will, NOW and then n wistrul look back
ogoin-sucb look as I saw once in my life
in tbc great ewes of a huge Watchdog,
whom we left on tbe prairie beside the
Lonely grave of his master.
From this time onward. all through Sc
vero winter he haunted the neipbborhood
! onco again. and only once. yenturing to
sneol IN the clockmaker. to whom his con-
stant nresence where he could hardly fail
IN 600 him nj times became torture which
,yos nlo;nIv WEARING his life away. Twice.
