pitiable object he was-aff1icted with
disease, white swelling, propped up in
bed, gradually losing the bones of one
leg, but never losing his spirits. A
May morning with chattering squir-
rels and birds swelling their breasts
with the impulses of praise was no
brighter, no blither than he. In the
winter, close housed, he cheerfully
waited for spring, and when the first
warm day came he had his bed drawn

would look far down into the orchard
and revel in the beauties that nature
spread out for him. We were young
sters, some of us still riding stick
horses. How we rejoiced in our caper-

older with US. but he still lay in bed
We used to take our guns with US when
we visited him, and lying propped up
at the window he would shoot at
something down in the orchard. Once
