Peter was dying, and he had been a
friend of mine as long as l could re-
member. He had gone to work under
ground at the age of seven. He had
never been properly fed. Every day he
had come sweating to the surface after
a climb of 200 fathoms, had changed
and walked a couple of miles to his
clean, cheerless cottage. Now he was
fifty-five, and he looked seventy, and
heart and lungs had given out He
knew that he was near the end and
still kept his philosophy. He was as
honest a man as ever lived, and it had
often seemed strange that he was al
most the only man in that village of
Methodists who had no religion. He
lay dying and was content except for
the fact that he could no longer enjoy
tobacco. One day I sat by his bed
when the doctor came. He was shy
man and very earnest Christian, and
he was fond OF Peter. l knew that he
had something he was desperately anx-
ious to say. and was on the point Of
taking my leave when he spoke, drop
ping, as one did with Peter, into the
old caressing dialect:
Where do zee think you'm goin' to,
Peter, when you do der
Peter looked up at him with the
kindnest of smiles. ''Dunnaw, doctor;
