To this spot, to this secluded. innocent
hover thcre cam ono evil day man OF dlgni-
e.d and stately aspect. His name was DR..
George II. Perrine: his vocation was don-
tstry. It was q most respectable name and
an emin entity respectable vocation.
He was fine man to look at. He stood tall
and erect like q soldier. and his face was hand
,ome and full OF sympathy. He was married
and his wife was q very respectable woman.
They lived the quiet life that every ono leads
IN Huntly. and few knew anything OF their
doings. and fewer still kncw OF their past
This Dr. Perrine was a Spirituallst and a
deep thinker. In Huntly, whero deep think
srs are rarity. tho people have the deepest
respect for thom. DR.. Perrine was looked upon
asa most wonderful man. who read books
that nobody else could understand. and who
wrote things that only smart people could read.
About year ago Mrs. Perrine died. and her
husband woro black for a long time. The
quiet people OF Huntly pitcd the poor wild
over. and hoped that his aorrow would soon
pass away and that he would return to the
life he had led before Mrs. Perrine's demise.
DR.. Perrino was then 81 years old and tho
tor OF his head was as hairless as the shell OF
an egg but he was still very handsome. and
his grief at his wife's death In nowise dimin-
i.hed tho dignity 81 his figure or tho courtesy
Of his demennor.

Perrine's death. Mrs. John c. Kellington. tho
wife OF a very worthy carpenter OF lluntly.
