At the age of sixty she was relieved

The story leaked out, aud the sheriff
called at Aunt aIary's and talked about
arresting the stranger. bur as he had
Committed no crime and as the woman
would make no complaint the patient
was left on her hands,
The man was tenderIy nursed and
given every comfort, and. being young
and in the best OF health. he was soon
on the road to recovery. At the same
time. according to his own statements
and Aunt Mary's firm BELIEF, he was
also on The road to becoming a much
respected citizen.
Now and then the doctor or the hired
man took advantage of an occasion
when the good woman was at the min;
house to tell tile patient that he was a
fraud and a scoundrel, but on the whole
the fellow had good time OF It. When
he wasn't talking about his sainted
mother in heaven he was promising Il
turn missionary. and devote the rest oil
his life to the betterment OF humanity
and Aunt Mary's heart was kept tender
In his interest.
One day there came droyer to the
Warner homestead who bought cattle
and sheep and hogs to the amount OF
$500 and paid the cash. 1t was OF
this day that the stranger set a date
for his departure and shed tears Of
gratitude. The hired man went along
with the drover TO help with the stocl,
and at dark had not returned
The stranger took the milk pals and
went to the barnyard, but returned

one of the horses.

he came into the kitchen. where she
was washing dishes.

You mean that you are going to roll

Il mean that I'm going away to be

Half an hour later, when the hired
man entered the room, he found Aunt
Mary sitting with her head on the tn.

What's the matter?" he asked.
"Why-why, Mr.. Bell felt that he had
to go, and he also felt that he had to
