AGATHA's HEIR.


Meanwhile Mr.. Sutherland and Fred
erick stood facing each other in the
formers library. Nothing had been
said during their walk down the hill.
and nothing seemed likely to proceed
from Frederick now. though his father
waited with great and growing agitn-
ton for some explanation that would
relieve the immense strain on his heart.
At last he himself spoke dryly. As we

A SYMPATHETIC FRIEND.

The next day was the day of Aga
tha's funeral.
She was to be buried in Porchester,
by the side Of her six children. and. as
the day was fine. the whole town, as
by common consent, assembled in the
road along which the humble cortege
was to make its way to the spot indi-
Gated.
From the windows OF farmhouses,
from between the trees of the few
scattered thicketS along the way. sad
dened and curious faces looked forth,
till Sweetwater, who walked as near
as he dared to the immediate friends
of the deceased. felt the impossibility
of remembering them all and gave up
the task in despair.
Before one house. about mile out
OF town, the procession paused, and at

within sight took off their hats. amid a
hush which made almost painfully ap-
parent the twittering of birds and the
other sounds of animate and mani

Philemon was then staying.
The front door was closed and so
were the lower windows, but in one OF
the upper easements movement was
perceptible. and in another instant
there came into view a woman and
man, supporting between them the i'm
passible form of Agatha's husband.
Holding him up in plain sight of the
almost breathless throng below, the
woman pointed to where his darling
lay and appeared to say something to
him.
