with her to see for himself.
When at last they stood inside the
weatherbeaten palings, Elizabeth
pointed and said:
Look there, and thank God!"
Dale looked and saw. The color left
his face, then came back. He shut his
eyes, swayed a little on his feet, OPP
ened his eyes, looked and saw again.
He turned to the young woman with
4 great Joy shining on his face.
II haven't been so glad" he told
her, for twenty-five years."
The chiseling away Of the lower five

don't you understand"
There was a choke in his voice to-
ward the last. Bill Dale went to his
feet. His eyes were wide, but he did
not seem unhappy; and for that Eliza
beth was grateful. John Moreland sat
as still, with his bearded, viking face
as eXpressiOnless as though he had
known It I'LL along.

Elizabeth Littleford arose and stole
blindly out of the house. Her foot
