There are times when pain and

there was something besides this
that increa sed the pain. He had
not always been patient. There had
been times when he had spoken cross
to the little one that had gone The
hasty words all came back and il
seemed he would give almost any
thing if they could be recalled.
The father was going to the city,
and on the way to the station he WAS
to stop and buy flowers. He asked a
boy of the neighborhood to go with
him and bring back the smilax and
violets and roses. He was quiet and
his eyes were dry, yet his mouth WAS
set in determined way.
The boy was not prepossessing-
He was not tidy and he was cross
eyed.
The boy sided up to the father
and said:
''Mr. -, want to buy some

Then he went down into his pocket
