lived on the upper James, in Powhatan
county. He spent the evening in talk

time came, though begged by his host
to take the room and bed prepared for
him, he insisted on going to his old
tent. pitched by the roadside, and pass
ed the night in the quarters that he
was accustomed to. On April Is he
arrived in Richmond. The people there
soon recognized him. Men, women
and children crowded around him,
cheering and waving hats and hand
kerchiefs. 1t was more like the wei

hat in response to their greeting and
rode quietly to his home on Franklin

were anXiously awaiting him. Thus
he returned to that private family life
for which he had always longed and

In the end Ii was arranged as Tur-
ner had suggested, though not without
many tears from the mother, and
many signs from the father. For, in
spite OF Turner's assurances it did
seem as if they were selling their
child
For some time all went well and
the interest was paid regularly. Then
another little Larkson appeared upon
the scene. typhoid fever attacked the
two Oldest children, and finally two
years had elapsed since any interest
mad been paid on the strange mort
gage.
Roy was years old when Turner
toreclOsed and took the boy to live
with him. BY this time the Larksons
had become accustomed to the idea,
they saw they never could pay their
debt in any other way and knew,
moreover, that it was doubtless a for
tunate thing for the boy to have won
the love Of this man who could do so
much for him. And really, it was not
so very hard to bear, after all. Roy
was at home as much as ever, the only
difference being that at meal times
and at night he went across the road.
His mother cared for his clothes as
usual, but Turner insisted on paying
her for 1t.
"A change had geen gradually com
ing over Hold Turner. The child's love
seemed to have made another man Of
him and he was now as genial as he
had formerly been gruff He lived in
the boy, made plans for his future
and spoke of him as his son. AS for
Roy, he was quite cOntented and hap
py with the new order of things.
"One night the climax Of the Lark
sons troubles came. There was cry
or fire. that awoke Turner and Roy
across the road. How the fire had
started no one knew. but before it was
discovered it gained such healway
that there was barely time for all the
family to escape when. amid walls of
grief and dismay, the roof fell. Not
thing was saved
Then Hold Turner gave proof of the
change wrought in his character He
opened wide his big house and took
in the homeless family, to stay until
they could find some other home.
MI. Larkson at once sought .anoth-
er farm to rent, without success. AS
the weeks went on, Turner found that
the merry family of children bright
ened up his gloomy house amazingly.
Mrs. Larkson's cooking was better
than his own, and LarksOn had more
practical ideas of farming than his
foreman had, and so-well, as the vii
lage wag put it, Turner might as
well have had mortgage on the whole
family
"Turner-IIod no longer. but by
