boy, and then he turned and made his
way TO his home.

carriage and drive him to the ceme-
terry. When they reached the family
lot, the father alighted from the car
riage and threw himself PROSTATE
across the grave of his wife. the
mother Of his son, and as he sobhed
out his soul, he exclaimed, "Oh, moth
er, mother, we did all we could for
him, didn't we? But the more we did
the less he appreciated IT, Now he
has gone too far. We must bid him
good-by forever" After a time he
arose from that mound, got in the
carriage and went back to his home.

to the house and was about to enter

entrance and said. you are never TO
