Sweet be his rest"
The birthday supper that night at the
| Strand homestead was happy one.
The cloth was snowy white, the china
the choicest of Mrs. Strands company
set, the cream the richest, the berries
most luscious, and the biscuits the hot

duceT There was honey that Mr.. Strands
busy bees had garnered from the white
clover blossoms beyond the orchard.
There were delicate slices of cold
chicken, appetizing little squares of
pressed veal, brown and brittle Saratoga
chips, hot from the kettle. There was
fruit cake and angel food and there was
the clearest of tea, which Mrs. Strand
poured from the silver pot into the cups
with the dainty forget-me -nots and
roses painted around the borders.
Bob never had conceived such a sup
per before. He was diftident, but he
was hungry, and ate everything that
was put upon his plate, until at last he
could eat no more. Mr.. Strand ate, too,
IS il he hadn't relished living in the
city for several days, and Mrs. Strand
made a feint of eating, but she did not
make much of a success of it. Her
heart was too full She chatted with
her husband, and talked to Bob in such
a motherly way that before long he lost
some of his bashfulness and felt at
home. And all thru the meal Ann
.trotted about, bringing this and bring
ing that, and jabbering in her funny
dialect.

When they arrived at. junction point

for $50 BILL and at the same time pro-
duced the bill. Shrum told him that he

destination of Shrum and again approcn-

had been unable to get change for the
bill and as the train he was to take
would leave in a few moments, he would
like to borrow 81 IN order to pay a board
bill that he owed a man who was waiting
for him near the station.
He produced the $40 bill again and also
a number of express receipts received
for goods and some other papers. Shrun
asked when the money would be returned
to him in case he let him have it, and
the stranger replied that he going to
Parsons and said THAT is your destina-

persuaded to let him have the 81 and nat
