white head and wrinkled face haunted
the grounds. He was not allowed to
see the president.
At last, one day. worn out by his
sufferings he sank at the foot Of a
tree just as the Joyous voice Of q child
was heard. The boy was none other
than Tad. the Benjamin Of his fathers
heart. Tad saw the poor old man
vainly trying to rise and went to him
frankly and fearlessly. Young as he
was he saw that the old man was In
a sad state and asked IL he wanted
anything.
"Yes. young massa, I wants to see

"well. you come with me-" said the
lad. with spirit.
Alonxo could scarcely totter to a
place where the boy seated him on a
bench saying:
"wait here . minute. I'll bring
him."
Tears streamed down the old mans
face. He was weak from hunger and
exposure. and the death Of his wife
was n great blow. He fumbled In his
pocket and brought out the shell, and
thinking that the cloth around 1t was
too soiled he threw It away. and then
before him stood the tall form. with
the rugged features Of his face sglow
with deep compassion that was part
Of his nature. The great man. great

Myra turned into the Flagg gate and
went around the path to the side door.
There was light In the sitting room
