host of self-appointed counselors. con-
tinually advising him. ''as friends" Of
many astounding things, which val

ness beset the heart of the man when
he heard that his friend had turned
against him and he grieved.
Strangely enough, the friend was al
so grieying, for he had received tales
which filled his heart with doubt of the
loyalty of his lifelong friend. "The
dog that will fetch will carry" says he
old proverb; and the friends" who
had told tales to one of these men told
the same sort to the her. They were
politicians, place-seekers, hangers-on
who for their own ends employed Cos
sip, and malicious gossip at that, to
keep apart these two men.
But the plan did not work. The two
men met, charged each other with cool
