freed with new suit of clothes and
few dollars in his pocket. At the

lawyer. A distant relative had left
him $4,000 A free man, he could
now claim It.
The snug little fortune or its equiv

condition Of afiuence. to plan for the

His mind was blank as an unwrit

paid the law its penalty. He was
clear of the world, and its fortune

path, indeed. might he take!
As he recalled how harshly fate had
dealt with him, as afar to the east

The next day Burnham started IRE =

had saved his life 4 Change had

tude for the mani who had given mp
his life to save hEs own.
His thought ran rapidly. Sud
denly, thrilnngIy this outcast found
his existence directed into new chan.
nels. He had seen that his rescuer
was buried Then he had opened the
satchel and inspected its contents.
From that moment Mark Burnham be-
came ELI Walters.
For he felt it sacred trust 20 take
up the life OF his rescuer where the
latter had lain 1t down. In the satcheI
he found q little hoard OF about two
hundred dollars. There were also let
ters and papers. An appeal had
reached Walters from his brothers
widow, whom he had never seen. he
had decided % go 70 her. relieve her
necessities and devote his years to
care for her and her little family.
Burnham found the Walters family
destitute, indeed He had assumed
the identity of relative they had
never seen and was accepted as the
real Uncle Eli That hard heart OF
his softened like wax as he employed
the 5000 to bring cheer and comfort
where there had been despair and suf-
fering. The widow was sickiy and ut.
most an invalid. There were five lit
tie children. Within a week the chill.
dren were grouping about him as
though he We're a real father, and the
widow was filled with gratitude and
hope.
For the first time, one day, Burnham
saw Ida Worth She had been Ill for
a month and called while he was in
the house. From the first, her earnest
patient face attracted him He learned
that she had practically supported the
widow and her family for several
months. but illness had come and she
was now as poor as themselves. She

Burnham told Mrs. Walters that eve

Two weeks later Burnham conveyed
the Walters family and Miss Worth
to their new home, a lovely country
cottage. He had used his own money
to give to the widow surety OF pro

week later.
He noted that she changed color
and her lips fiuttered, and he won.
dered why.

Il am not the uncle of those children, z
and he told her all.
Then you are even a nobler man

petuously.
Il am an ex-convict," and the rest
OF the wretched story came out.
You have nobly redeemed your
self" breathed Ida "oh, do not 70
away, they need You We love you!.'
Her hands had now rested in his
own. He looked into her eyes, fear,
somely, and then with a rare thrill.
She swayed towards him, and he knew
that his fond dream had come true.
