ceived n call from a customer who
wished to buy a stone for his mothers
grave. After looking anxiously about
for some time and making numerous
remarks as to his mothers taste he
finally fixed his gaze upon a stens
which the stone-cutter had prepared
for another person.
II like this one he said. decidedly;
'I'll take this"
But that belongs to another man."

has the name Francis cut on II. you
see; that wouldn't do for your mother"
ooh, yes. it would" responded the
countryman. Mother couldn't read;
and besides" ha added, as he saw the
stonecutter's expression. shed like II
all the better II she could read, for
Francis was always a favorite name
OF hers, anyhow"
The story is suggestive OF one told OF
