His Mothers Grave.

1t happened. by mere chance, that
since Mrs. Anson's funeral no one had
been inferred on one side of the small
space purchased for her. There were
three vacant plots here, and a sur
prised official told Philip there would
be no difficulty in acquiring these fol
the purpose of erecting a suitable mon
ument.
The boy filed in the necessary forms
there and then. 1t was some consola-
ton to know that he could perpetuate
her memory in this way, though he had
formulated another project which should
keep her name revered through the
ages.
On the site OF Johnson's News should
arise the Mary Arson Home for Des-
titute Boys. He would build a place
where those who were willing to work
and learn would be given chance, and
not driven, starving and desperate, to
pick UP an existence in the gutter.
He was too young to devise all the
details of such a splendid institution,
but he had got the idea and would
possess the money. He would leave
the practical part of the Undertaking TO
older heads.
The one essential feature was that
generations yet unborn should learn 10
love and honor the name of Mary An.
son. Provided that were achieved, he
knew the work would be successful.
Soon after leaving the cemetery he
came face to face with Bradley, the po-
