 "Then Wilson is the matter" the gov- ernor retorted, in a good-natured ex- change, while various members of the

back upon II in the light of another
day. But no, there were the roses He
bent his face down and caught the
aroma OF their breath.

The Boss made no reply. To him
they were merely faded roses. He was
sitting on the doorstep about to light
his pipe when the younger nan called
him. With the freshly filed pipe In
one hand. the unlighted match in the

he could have found so many, because
nobody knew the woods so well.
AS he looked back over the years,
he found himself bordering the con-
tradictions Of his mothers life, In the
light of the story he had heard that
memorable afternoon-the refinement
In the midst Of mean surroundings,
the stern pride that had held her so

The voice OF the old Boss half
startled the man on the doorstep. The
gruff old fellow had never left him,

thing. He lifted his face from his
