Her Highness cooed delightedly, and

Is there--can there be-a man more
lonely than one returned from far
country, who has been out OF his home
land for 20 years, and comes back
when his parents are dead, his old
friends dispersed, and the old nest
has passed to other occupants? And
can his loneliness be more emphasized
than when his return syncronizes with
Christmas?
That was my condition when I re-
visited the mother country. With a
beating heart and straining eyes I had
looked for the first sight of dear old
America after having left 1t as a lad,
hardly man, some 20 years ago.
