The young people stood by,
quite convulsed with merriment,
as the old man bent over his scat
tered property, tears of distress
stealing down his aged face. A
woman's faded wrapper, an old
bonnet with black satin strings,
each carefully rolled up and
pinned, and a pair of shoes even
more worn than those upon the
old mans feet, lay on the plat
form, and he was trying to fold
up a faded plaid shawl when the
baggage man came back with the
rope.
''Here, let me do this, papa,"
he said, kindly. "You're all un-
strung, and I'm used to this kind
of business. He would have
taken the shawl, but the old man
resisted.

voice trembling with emotion.

like 'twouldn't be all right to put

The merriment had all gone

girls, and the young man turned
away and walked to the end Of
the platform.

of the kind, which had lodged

that it would not seek outward
expression, and be waited pa
tiently while the old man folded
and tucked the worn garments
into the little old trunk.

cord was bound round and round
and the trunk was made secure
