Uncle Ben turned round and faced

"That's only little joke of mine 4!
This is the real home, and give it to you
with all the more pleasure that you were
disposed to make the best of the bad
bargain you thought you were in for.
My dear, the contented mind you pos
sessed is worth a thousand houses!"
And Rachel felt something warm and
wet upon her cheek, like a tear, as the
old gentleman stopped to kiss her.
When Hugh came home to find his
little vrifa r,nop tho varapda all vel

ed:
"Why, Uncle Ben, this is perfect
