and he was deserted within 1t, wan.
derng from room to room staring ut
familiar objects with the unfamiliar
gnze OF one whose vision suddenly
has been warped by the visitation of
death and the sense of loneliness that
II brings.
Loneliness, rather than grief. for 1t
had been Robert Fairclilds promise
that he would not suffer in heart for
one who had lOnged to go into peace
for which he had waited. seemingly in
vain, Year after year, Thornton Fair
child had sat in the big armchair by
the windows, watching the days grow
old and fade into night, studying sun
set after sunset, voiCIng the vain hope
that the cleaning might bring the twi-
light OF his own existence-a silent
man except for this, rarely speaking Of
the past, never giving to the son who
worked for him. cared for him, wor-

where II had fallen from relaxing fin
gers. Robert FairChild picked il up.
and with a sigh restored il to the
grim rumcd oak case. His days of
petty sacrifices that his father might
while away the weary hours with
reHdng were over.
Whnt had been the past? Why the
silence? Why the patient, yet impa-
ti"nt wait for death? The son did not
know. In all his memories was only
one faint picture, painted years be-.
fore in habyhOod: the return Of his
father from some place, he knew not
where. a long conference with his
mother behind closed doors while he.
In childlike curiosity, waited without,
seeking in vain to catch some expla-
nation. Then sad-faced woman who
cried at night when the house was
still, who faded and who died That
was all. The pi .ture carried no ex-
PLANTATION.
And now Robert Fairchild stood on
the threshold of something he almost
feared to learn, Once. on black,
stormy night. they had sat together,
father and son before the fire, silent
for hours. Then the hand Of the
white. haired man had reached out

Now Thornton Fairchild was gone.
But message had remained behind !;
one which the patient lips evidently
had feared to utter during life. The
heart OF the son began to pound, Slow
