Many fine special trains have been
run to California within the past few
years, but 1t is safe that this special

accommodate everybody who would
enjoy most delightful trip, will be
made up OF the best Pullman sleepers,
and will run through to San Francisco,
without change. The route is the III

No more beautiful scenic route could
possible be selected, and parties who
expect to attend the Triennial Conclsve
or who would visit California, should
take advantage of these low rates and
send in their application at once for
sleaping cars accommodations, and for
knights Templar folders giving de-
tailed information ss to the trip and
places of interest in and about San

oddly contorted face the satisfaction
of great prosperity battling with the
dissatisfaction of knowing that one he
had so loved had not lived to share his
elevation. He was rubbing away the
mold from the name which, by his own
confession, was the only one to which
his memory chung in sympathy or en-
dearment At his feet lay an open
basket, In which detected the remnins
Of what must have been a rather

most Of all, the imperturbablc driver
seemed to awaken some awe in the
boys. They We're still in evidence, but
they hung back sheepishly and eyed
the basket of neglected food as if they
hoped he would forget to take 1t away.
Meanwhile the Gathering of chains
against the harness, the paving Of the
horses and tile low EXPLANATIONS of the
driver caused me the queerest feelings.
Advancing quite unccrenoniOusly upon
the watcher by the grave, I remarked
aloud:
"The setting sun will soon release
you, Mr.. Moore. Are you going imme-
diately into town."
He paused in his rubbing, which was
being done with very tender hand,
and as IL he really loved the name lie
was endeavoring to bring into palmer
view. Scowfing little, he turned and
met me point blank with look which
had good deal of inquiry in it.
II am not usually interrupted here,''

he added more mildly. "They some
times approach too closely, but am
used to the imps and scarcely notice
them. All. there are some of my old
friends now! Well, it is time they

my fortunes. HI. there! Hands up and

She raised her figure proudly.
"Miss Tuttle, you have heard Chloe
say that you were in the kitchen OF
Mr.. Jeffrey's house when the grocer
boy delivered the candles which had
been left by your brother-in-law on the
counter of the store where he bought
them. Is this true?"

''No, SIR"
