seemed to halt with a shock as he
saw on the bell handle of the house
a Streamer of crepe!
How he lived through that day,
Boyd Leslie could not realize. He
heard that the physician attending
Mr.. Lewis had given a certificate of
death from natural causes. First an
impulse came to his mind to confess
his mistake publicly. Then dread of
consequences made of him a coward.
The episode passed by. He was
safe, in the general aceeptation of
that word. But his mind was in tor
ment. Mr.. Lewis was buried. Boyd
learned that he had left a wife and
three children. Two of TIE latter
were of tender age. The widow was
an invalid. The eldest daughter, We
roma, nursed her and took in sewing.
One day about a week after that,
this young lady came into the drug
store. It was the first time that Boyd
had seen her. A sharp knife seemed
to pierce his heart as he locked upon
that sad, beautiful eface. RemorBe,
regret, gave him sleepless nights and
days Of torment. He felt that he was
fast losing his reason. ~
A chance halt where a street evan
gelist was preaching as he strOIled
aimlessly about, changed the whole
color of his thoughts. Repentance,
restitution" was the theme. Poor
fellow, there was nothing to repent of
that he had done Willingly, and he
would have been glad to give his life
to restore Mr.. Lewis to his family. |
AS to restitution ah, there he could |
act! He had robbed the Lewis family
of a protector. He would take his
place.
His motives were never suspected |
by Verona or her mother. In the |
sOmber silent drug clerk who applied |
to them for room and board at a
liberal rate that meant a vast helm

began to endear him to the lonely,
lOVable young girl.
AS to Boyd, an angel with flaming
sword seemed to stand between him
and the beautiful girl who had won
his souls devotion. He dared not con-
strue her more than kindly attention
into regard. He, her fathers muir
derer, shrank with terror from even
dreaming of wedding the pure, inno-
cent daughter!
81 dare stay here no longer" he
told himself one day. 81 will find
some way to give my little savings to
Mrs. Lewis and forget Verona"
His heart smote him the evening
he announced to the family the de-
mands' of a fictitious position in an
other state. Mrs. Lewis burst into
tears, as though she were about to
part with a beloved son. The chill
dren looked grave and lost. Verona's
voice trembled as she voiced an earn
est hope for happiness and prosperity
in his future.
He saw no other way out of his diff
ficuIty, however. They helped him
pack his effects, and during the pro-
cess Verona brought a small chest Of
odds and ends, to find for Boyd a
blood thermometer he had loaned her
mother when they had touch of
fever.
It contained some papers of the
dead father, some phials of medicine,
a sealed bottle. AS his eyes fell upon
this, Boyd Leslie grasped it with a
sudden eagerness that fairly startled
Verona. ~
"This-this is a prescription you
had filed the night before your father
died?" he uttered hoarsely.
yes. Poor, dear father" replied
Verona, sadly. ''He died before broth
er got back from the drug store with
