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
i confession, was the only one to which

dearment. At his feet lay an open

most Of all. the imperturbable driver
seemed to awaken some awe in the
boys. They were still in evidence, but
| they hung back sheepishly and eyed
the basket of neglected food as il they
hoped he would forget to take it away.
Meanwhile the Gathering of chains
against the harness, the paving Of the
horses and the low EXPLANATIONS of the
driver caused me the queerest feelings.
Advancing quite unceremoniously upon
the watcher by the grave, l remarked
aloud:
1.-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 If he really loved the name he
was endeavoring to bring into palmer
view. Scowling 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 emphasized-.except by the boys"
he added more mildly. They some
times approach too closely, but I am
used to the inps and scarcely notice
them. All, there are some of my old
friends now! Well, it is time they
knew that change has taken place in
my fortunes. Hi, there! Hands up and
catch this and this and this!" he shout

brother officer who was walking out
beside me what he thought OF Mr..
Moore's absence from an inquiry pre-
sumably of such Importance to all
