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 clung in sympathy or en-
dearlnent. At his feet lay an open
basket, in which detected the remains
of what must have been a rather
sumptuous cold repast. To all appear
ance lie had fOregOne none of his an
cient customs; only those customs had
taken On'elegance with his rise In for
tune. The carriage and the horses and,
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 II they
hoped he would forget to take 1t away.
Meanwhile the Gathering of chains
against the harness, the paving of the
horses and the low exclamations OF the
driver caused me the queerest feelings.

the watcher by the grave, remarked
aloud:
