was suffering from cancer and
for months he had neglected

money nor asked me for help;

great remorse. ! began to realize
something of the lonely struggle
he had made.
There was nothing for him to

Often my earnings went for
frivolous things. I could and
should have readily given him
more money than 1 did; but he
never seemed to expect anything.
He urged me to save my money,
and said I would need it worse
than he-a truth that becomes
more apparent each day. Once I
suggested he sell the standing
timber on his farm and use the
money for his good, he scoffed
at the idea and said the day
would come when I would need
the firewood worse than he. He
always seemed to look upon me
as a little boy, but in retrosect

How could 1 then understand
that through endurance of pow

himself to bear these burdens
well? He would be up and gone
to work early of morning,
sometimes before ! got up. / re-
call hearing him getting out of
the house, and then / would re-
lax into sound slumber. Some
times it was after dark when he
returned, and for these long days
he earned less than we now re-

ed many miles to and from his
work; sometimes he worked a
long way from home in surround
ings not pleasant at all. I can
imagine the heartache and home
sickness for his children that was
his lot at these times.
