suggested that, had told him how
we'll worth doing it was.
Then suddenly he was not glad any
more, but strangely and terribly de-
pressed, as he had never been before:
in the wink Of an eye, as at signal,
heavy gloom, unaccountable, uniea-
sonable, settled down upon him. Vast
dependency wrapped around his be-
ing.
He sprang up and began pacing
restlessly about. The grizzled bag
gage agent eyed with some wonder
the resplendent young man who strobe
so frowningly about the platform, NUT
tering strange things to himself. Fres-
emily Tommys eye fell upon him. and
he drew near, struck by a sudden
thought
Have cigar, my MANI" he said,
striving to speak in an easy conversa-
tional tone. "Er-what does it mean,
do you suppose, when you're leaving a
place where you've only spent week,
and you feel, by George, ha, ha! as
though you were going to die?"

ly, but privately marveling anew at
the odd ways of cottagers. well, sir,

He went back to his suitcase. sat
down again, and fell to thinking deep
ly and as when a lamp is
flashed sharply into a dark room, so
now light, new and wonderful, sud
denly flooded the hidden corners Of
his soul.
The way of life and its utmost
meaning rolled out before him: a
face framed itself marvelously upon
the green hillside where his eye was
fastened; and Tommy face to face
with the best of all his best things,
found himself at the end of his eX-
plorations at last.
In two minutes-for it took no long
er than that-he sprang up, laughing,
and laid hold upon his suitcase i.
and when the train came painting in,
the baggage agent wondering more
than ever, saw the strange young man
who had so restlessly waited for it,
start hurriedly away.
"Hey, there!" he called good-nat-
urally. Here's your train, sir-going
this minute"

Tommy over his shoulder
checking his swift pace, for it seemed
to him that there was not another
second to lose-'1 want-the best
