and where she still nightly bent her
stiff old knees to pray for them and
theirs.
Mother only loved the Old house bet
ter us the years rolled on, but when
grim old age had slowly crept upon her,
it was decided in family council that
she must make up her mind to come
and live with one of them, forsit was al
together out of the question for her to
remain in that gloomy old house alone.
So, one sad day, overpowered by the
sons and daughters who meant to be
kind, mother went softly to and fro
over the old house, taking leave of it all;
and the last farewell was the visit to
the mounds under the dropping elms
where John slept and the first born lit
tie son lay. Then, with feeling that
the world can never quite understand,
she was driven away to the fine city res
.dence-they don't call them homes
nowhere Alfred and his wife, who,
for all her kindness, rather overpow-
cred mother with her fine ways. had
given her a stately room. and. what
was the most dreadful, she was sup
posed to keep it there alone by herself.
Yes, they meant to be kind to her, but
the city ways and style gave the old
lady the feeling that she was in an asy-
lum, and. in spite OF all the grandeur,
mothers wrinlled cheeks lost their
soft pink like that of half wilted rose,
and she began to grow feeble and worn.
though everyone was so busy that it
was passed unnoticed. She was pining
for the old home, though she felt that it
would seem ungrateful to say SO, and
then, somehow, to pray in the mag
nificent church. where she sat in a vel
vet-cushioned pew, did not seem to give
her the help she prayed for. for God, as
it seemed to her, was not as close as
when she used to pray at home kneeling
by that old table. If she could only go
back and tell her friend all about it;
just once kneeling where John used to
come and Join her. This feeling grew
and grew, though. as there was no one
to tell it to. she shut it up in her own
lonely old heart. -.
One summer morning she was miss
ing. and she could not be found. though
they searched everywhere they could
think she would be likely to wander,

but in vain, she was gone. Then AL
fred recollected all at once that he had
rather neglected his mother of late.
His wife forgot her cultured calmness
and joined in the search, weeping bit
terly. Henry left his desk for once
and set the telegraph wires to work,
and confusion and grief reigned SUI
preme, while the sons and daughters
found their thoughts running back
again to childhood and mother as they
had not done for years. Hours passed.
and no news came from the missing,
then their fears and grief grew greater
and stronger. Mother was gone.
Perhaps she had gone home. The
thought was sudden, and, too impatient
to wait for trains not due for hours yet,
they set off across the country in their
carriages. AS they drew near the old
home they found news of the lost one.
She had passed only about an hour be-
fore, plodding YEARLY along the ia
miliar road, and with lightened hearts
they hurried on. When they came to
the leaning old gate, through the wet
grass they could see solitary pathway
trodden by one who had first visited the
low mound with the tiny one beside it,
and from there on to the house. So,
with fearful eyes, and not ashamed Of
their tears, either, the party tip-toed
like children up the low rickety steps,
through the hall aud paused reverently
at the door, with remorseful hearts that
longed to tell the gentle old mother, as
they were wont to do over some child
ish disobediencc, that they were
sorry, mother"
The stiffness of the house grew OPP
pressive while they stood uncertain,
and, though they listened, there were no
faint footballs az of one going about
after the fashion of one just getting
home.
They softly pushed open the door Of
the old family sitting-room, and there,
with her old gray head bowed on the
family Bible, and smile of Joy and
peace on her dear dead face, knelt
mother, who had gone home to find rest
and content with John, already there.
