a son, grow up from cooling baby
hood to the redundant vigor of a
healthful youth, in whose bright
horizon there seemed naught but
the turquoise bloom Of hope, fecked
here and there by the rose-tinted
clouds of ambition that seemed,
streaming up from its uttermost
rim, like gladstone prophecies Of
achievement and renown that the
near future would see fulfilled. But
now, what a change! The youth
was Just home from Harvard. John
w. Cecil looked earnestly at his
son as BERTHE stood there beneath
the locust trees that guarded the
entrance to Brierton Villa, and as
he saw the toothpick shoes. peek-a
