A SHORT STORY.

ing dim as he read the letter and his
hand dropped Imply. So his boy had
re-enlisted for Cochin-China because
of a quarrel with his sweetheart. And
he himself had been so proud when
his son wrote that he had been made
corporal. Shortly afterward the
climate killed him. SO he had in
tended to marry Marie Louvrier. He
might have done much worse. And
but for that quarrel he, Father Cob
bin, might have been a grandfather
now instead of living to a lonesome
old age with no relatives but his old
wife.
And she, Marie Louvrier? She was
still living in the village as seam
stress. OF course, she was no longer
young. She must be 40. She had
hoped her letter would straighten
out everything and had never known
the reason why no answer had come.
Father Goblin felt sincerely sorry
for the woman who had loved his son.
He hurried to the small house at the
window of which she had been sitting
with her work every day all these
years. He felt no anger toward her,
only pity, because he felt how she
must have suffered.
He entered the house. She was sit
ting at the window as usual. She had
grown stouter and her complexion
was sallow, as she never had time to
go into the air, and her brown hair
was turning gray.
