and down the track with more haste than
dignity came the old Judge.
Bring him right up to my house. He
saved my boys life and he shall have all
the care that money can procure.
So it happened that Mike opened his eyes
in the beautiful home which he had looked
at that very afternoon with such longing
ewes. 1t was gentle Mrs. Hale own hand
that was wipng the moisture from his
brow. His eyes fell on Charlie, who was
sobbinS us though his heart would break.
Never mind master Charlie; its better
me nor YOU
"Oh, Mike, can YOU ever forgive me, -
and poor Charles tears fell like rain on
the poor face, red no longer, but white
with the agony of the coming death
IL bears no grudge, master Charlie,
though it did hurt sore sometimes
His voice grew weaker and great drops
of pcrspiralion stood around his mouth
He was drifting rapidly from among the
shadows into eternal sunshine.
AS Mrs. Hale bent pilyinyly over him. he
spoke again, s. amt afraid TO 90, bu;, oh

My poor. poor boy. they shall never want

The dying eyes were raised to his with Il
look of SPECIFICS gratitude. then the eye
lids dropped slowly. There was q long
sigh followed by an awful silcncc-;,nd
Mke's runs We're over.
Ten long Years Mike has been sleeping in
Il quiet corner of the cemetery, where
neither the sound of the whistle nor the
