been, informed that the end of his
life's journey was close at hand,
that any hour now might prove to
be his last. It apparently disturb
ed him not at all so far as he him
self was concerned. His solicitude
was for his partner-"the Missus"
as he called her-and to diminish
SO far as In him lay the perplexi-
ties that would come to her on his
passing.
