was the oldest man in the world. And she
whispered:
My blessing"
Then, what was curious, she grew quite
gay and happy. She talked to him as if he
was q new grown-up man she had never
known before very well. This made him
stronger and drawer than ever, and happier,
too. As they drew near Dexter she ex-
planned to him about the pension u the
mortgage. how the pension brought in
money because the government paid 50
much every year to poor widows whose hus-
bands had been killed in the war. But the
mortgage took away money because twas
for an old debt that Perry's father owed
for money borrowed to build the house
they lived in.
Now. she said, she had saved SO much of
thep pension money she could pay OF the
mortgage. seeing that the money was Of no
use Tor what she had saved it for. Here
she mad to burst out crying again. but she
did not Cry more than half or thres-quar-
tiers of a mile. When she smiled again
Perry said:
But does the pension money go right on
forever"
"Well-yes-probably." she said.
And then she laughed and blushed sc
that he had to tell her that she didn't look
more than twenty years old, and she kissed
and Rugged him and said he mustn't spoil
her.

Dexter while mammy-swee was getting the
mortgage and all that. But the old mare
had to walk every step of the last five miles
home. How the stars shone. And how
long the hours were. Long. but not sad OF
tiresome.
But their old rooster was foolish enough
to crow while Perry was putting up poor
dear, tired Dolly. or course the rooster
was mistaken for once, old as he was.
That was long years ago, and Perry has
cured himself of talking to himself; or
rather he has change the habit into ono Of
talking with his pen to other boys who are
going to be men. and men who have beer
boys. The same something that used te
make him speak in one way now makes hin
| speak in the other.
As to his hunohback, if the rest of the
world can stand it, he can. Kind Mothe
Nature has her apron loaded with compen-
sations. She never strikes a blow but she
follows it with a bunch of balm. Still, he
somtimes breathes one of the long breaths
ana wonders how anybody who is all riRh'
can ever be unhappy. Yet they manage j
somehow.

him, loves him-but he never forgets tina
his own father was killed at Shiloh.
