Despondent Man, Groaning Under Diff

"Well. somebody's dead"

well, somebody's dead"
The man sitting next to us in the
car craned his head back and looked
in morbid satisfaction at the black
hearse standing at the church door.
Yes" we answered, don't you
rather pity him, on a beautiful day
like this?"
"Pity him-huh!" snorted the man,
whose lips had the smiling habit, but
whose eyes looked tired. Hes well
out of it, that fellow in the hearse.
Guess you've never had much respon-
sibility, have you?"
We admitted minimum of re-
sponsibility
"Well," confided the man with the
tired eyes, wait till you have a
grandfather of ninety-one, on your
wifes side, and a mother Of seventy
nine, and an invalid wife to support
and you'll envy that quiet fellow we
passed a while ago. That's my fix;

The drummer looked out of the
window again, and smiled. NO" he
decided, "the man in the hearse might
be worse off,
"See here;" we put the question to
him, ''if you had choice this min

Allonby staggered as If he had been

pass with him; not for months had
he sold anything considerable. His
hope centered upon this prize; he had
sent in half dozen tales. He was
blind, sick, shivering, cold; by SUI

Brokenly he said so to Laura. She
was trembling little, but held her1
self very straight as she went beside
him into the bare unhomelike place
that was both workshop and living
room.
John Allonby the elder sat propped
with many pillows in the one easy
chair, a frail wrath of a strong man.
piteously feeble He smiled queer
twisted smile as Lura took his hands
in hers. With swimming eyes, she
bent and kissed his forehead, making
somehow in low words and broken
her plea to help him. He heard with
kindling eyes, a faint color rising in
his withered cheek
'You-yCu-say there is a chance,
