Page Number 24 thought you were dead. I have not been able to work, and the mortgage is going to be foreclosed today. “Not while I’m here, father. I have earned a large sum of money, and while I live this house will not pass to strangers But here! I’ll pay the mortgage and then tell you my story, but first see what I brought with me.” They followed him out to the porch and met his wife. The sweet girlish bride was at once accepted in the fam¬ ily circle, and Phil told his story. He had been sick for over a year and was in the hospi¬ tal for a long while. Afterwards he wrote to his folks, hut received no reply. His business would not allow him to come home, but he thought they had received his letters. He had married a very wealthy girl and on a honey moon trip they had decided to come home in the touring car. On what a different scene the sun set that night. In stead of two chairs, four were placed on the piazza, and all the hearts were bound together, by a strong cord of love. And again, as the night before, came the same music. The son’s eyes filled with tears as he said: “Hap¬ piness! That was my favorite song, when I was a boy Lu, and it certainly will be not only a song, but a truth from now on.” Mabel Olapsadle.
