blood was thicker than water, he re-.

encounter was to bring him to the door

and softer feelings. s.l I.8s.sS .S
The night had come; the fanlight over
the door shone bright; the: two win

cloth was being laid, and the three win
doWs of the draWing-room where Maria
would be waiting dinner, glowed soft
ller through yellow blinds. 1t was like
vision OF the past. All this time Of his
absence, life had gone forward with an
equal foot, and the fires and the gas
had been lighted, and the meals spread,
at the accustomed hours At the accus-
toned hour, too, the bell had sounded
thrice to call the family to worship.
And at the thought pang of regret
for his dement, seized him; he remem-*
bered the things that were good and
that he had neglected, and the things
that were evil and that he had loved;
and it was with a prayer upon his slips
that he mounted the steps and thrust
the key into the key-hole. : 5
He stepped into the lighted hall, shut
the door softly behind him, and stood
there fixed in wonder No surprise of
strangeness could equal the surprise OF,
that complete familiarity. There was.
the bust Of Chalmers near the stair

the accustomed place; and there, on the.
hat-stand, hung hats and coats that

bered Ten years dropped from his life,5
