her own on that Sunday there was room for hut two mom here of that Commonwealth of which to toll was Deacon David himself the other only child David junior away In tho city of Boston If she hnd known of Iho existence of certain little David Sweet third I think to state It mildly her heart could have expanded enough to take him In too they hod heard only incidentally from David In Ave years since he left homo until tho day preceding this Sab- hath when a letter hud arrived from him which the deacon and had sat up very late to discuss though tho dis cussion was a most affair as you will allow Ill lam David began deacon hotly that ho cant play at fas with me I him when ho said he would go to city Tarn back on the old farm now tarn It fur good h all What I fur that boy deacon partly to

with me call his out fur tho good of the farm but when I found that all his lifted him head neck heels above the ole came buck fur tor stay poor old deacons Voice grow husky his only safety was to explode In anew direction I bet that ere wife of is at the bot tom of this letter stopping it down on the old desk at which bo was seated His wife I Its simply that our David should ha out mong them heathen shopgals of took to a wife Why the very best In the county he might ha had fur Ills wife made no reply She also had had dreams about the daughter that David might some day bring home but in the depths of her heart she blessed this un known girl If through her Influence David had written at lost The mother knew that David did not his fathers life but the counterpart of that father he could not be Wall deacon she gently asked what the letter say It replied the deacon in another burst it in sum substance my wifo me come home and I sum substance n Im write David so No yo cant Her face flushed she opened her mouth to then closed It again with unaccustomed patience The deacon without further words began his struggle with the answer to Davids letter found it an easy matter to tell sum n substance to but a far harder thing to write it to David There must be a beginning what should It be My dear son Well let it goat that Then as to what should follow He scratched and blotted sighed and wiped his sweaty forehead wrote again and tore Into bits David orter to be here write ray letters fur me he muttered fretfully then he began once more finished it desperately and signed it Father at his wits end for a substitute For his father I be said he I cant git rid Don ye seat it up without me it deacon said his wife anxiously The deacon reluctantly passed it expecting a torrent of tears and expostu lations in consequence but Llzabeth held herself strangely In check My dear son Father she remarked at length Humph I its like a pie with a good top bottom crust but a measly fillin Then louder to her hus band Whilst youve got pen in ban deacon Jest ter bleege me take sheet of paper n write out what ud be my answer not obliged sen It you know The deacon amazed and relieved at this easy escape dipped his pen forefinger and thumb In the Ink and waited her dicta tion My dear son she said I cant im prove on it out Done said the deacon Go ahead Nor I cant better the she went on Co skip a line and write down Father N now she said looking over his shoulder Jes betwixt between write the one word come Theer deacon she concluded trem bling with earnestness let them tew let

A feast minus thee means only a fast Thanksgiving to Elizabeth without David meant the same On tho afternoon before Thanksgiving restless and condemned under his wifes accusing eye the deacon shouldered his and set off for his nearest patch of woodland watched him with a sudden twinge of pity Pore father she said Id in my shoes than in his fur I dew tow one hes more miserable than me old clock rang Her work was done alio eat resting In bar cozy kitchen Fur mercy sakes I she exclaimed starting up suddenly Kf theer aint the very whistle cars would ha fetched em She bowed her head on tho

never forgot how it trailed Its heavy length along the ground in that waning cheerless light The engine and one car passed over the little bridge that spanned the old river road He started Did he imagine that tho bridge was trembling the coaches tottering swaying the whole going pell- mell down to destruction It was not till the engine shrieked for help that ho woke from the spell that bound him The next Instant so it seemed he was down there axe In hand amid the moans of the wounded and a mass of wreckage But he was not long alone in a few moments every man In the village was on the spot

more were though sadly maimed Theres three left said the conductor In despair A young couple with a baby God them theyre as good as dead Never shouted the deacon never I Now boys at It again I Thats

caressingly over his face David opened eyes and garoback for smile Then satisfied the deacon went out as quietly as he had entered and both slept peacefully till morning dawned And then it was
