referred the matter to the old man, OF
whom they were both very fond.
"My dears,' said the old gentleman,
with a kindly smile, the question Is too
hard a one for me to decide. But ask the
poor, and they will tell you that the most
beautiful hand in the world is the hand
that gives the most freely. Youth 8
