made any progress at all II he had
not known that at home. no matter Il
there was company. there would al
least be no Abe Rose to keep him 90
! lis. to spur him on to unwelcome
action. to force him to prove himself
out Of sheer self-respect the equal. II
not the superior. in masculine
strength?
Abe had led him that chase over
at the station, Samuel was convinced,
"a-purpose" to punish him for having
so soundly berated him when he lay
abed. That was all the thanks you
ever got for doing things for some
folks"
Samuel hobbled onward, his brow
knit with angry resentment. Did ever
q half-mile seem SO long, and had he
az ually been only twenty-three hours
from home and Blossy? Oh. oh! his
back and his feet! Oh, the weight Of
that bag! How much he needed sleep!
How good 1t would be to have Blossy
tuck him under the covers, and give
m a hot lemonade with a stick Of
ginger In 1t!
If only he had hold of Abe Rose now
to tell him his opinion of him! Well,
he rejected. you have to summer and
winter with q person before you can
know them. This one December day
and night with Abe had been equal to
the revelations of q dozen seasons
The next time Samuel tried to do good
to anybody more than sixty-hve, he'd
know It. The next time he was per-
suaded into leaving his wife for over
night. he'd know that. too. Various
manuals for the young husband. which
he had consulted, to the contrary not.
outstanding, the place for a married
man was at home.
Samuel sat down on q fallen tree
which marked the halfway point be-
tween his place and the bay. The last
half OF the journey would seem short
er. and. at the end. there would be
Blossy smiling q welcome. for he
never doubted but that Blossy would
be glad to see him. She thought q
good deal Of him. nor had she been
especially anxious for that week Of
separation.
His face smoothed its troubled
'rowns into a look Of shining anticipa.
look that Samuels face had
worn when first he ushered Blossy
INTO his tidy little home and murmured
luskily:

CHAPTER XVIII.
Samuel's Welcome.

The shore at Twin Coves was q
somewhat lonely spot, owing To
stretches Of MARYLAND and q sweep OF
pine wood that reached almost to the
edge Of the water.
Samuel. however, having indicated
that he wished to be landed At the foot
OF a path through the pines. found
himself on the home shore scarcely
ten minutes after he had left Bleak
Hill-Havens already speeding toward
mis- home some miles to the eastward.
the bay seemingly deserted EXCEPT for
bis sail. high wind blowing. and the
snow beginning to fall in scattered
fakes.
Samuel picked up his grip. trudRed
through the heavy sand of the mar.
row beach. and entered the sweet.
smelling pine wood. He was stiff with
cold after the rough. swift voyage: his
feet alone were hot-burning hot with
chilblains. Away down in his heart he
was uneasy lest some harm sbouId
come to Abe and the old man be
caught in the approaching storm ON
the beach. But, oh. wasn't he Rl.d to
be home!
His house was still half n mil.
away: but he was once more on good
solid. dry land.

We are all at some time in our lives
victims Of the Imagination. The con.
viction that we are desperately Ill, or
that we have been exposed to q ter.
rfble malady, to some incurable, con-
tagious disease. completely upsets the
entire system and reverses the proc

When was in the Harvard Medical
school, one Of the best professors
there. q celebrated physician, who had
been lecturing upon the power of the
imagination. warned the students
against the dangers Of imagining that
they, themselves. had the disease
about which they studied. The profess
sor told me that once he got 1t into
his head that he was DEVELOPING
Bright's disease In his system. The
conviction became 90 strong that he
was in the grasp Of this so-called fatal
disease that he preferred to die rather
than be told Of his condition by anoth-
er physician.He lost his appetite, lost
nesh rapidly. and became almost inca.
pable Of lecturing. until one day a med.
ical friend. astonished at the change
In his appearance. asked what was the
matter with him.
i have Bright's disease" was the
reply. Il am sure of 1t, for I have
every symptom"
Nonsense" said his friend: you
have nothing Of the kind"
After q great deal Of persuasion.
Inc professor was induced to submit |
10 an examination. and 1t was discov.
cred that there was not the slightest ,
evidence Of Bright's disease in his
system. He rallied so quickly that
even In day those who knew him
,oticed the change. His appetite re-
turned, his flesh came back. and he
