braid themselves with the sunbeams and of southward coming air seemed fall of the vogue of daffodil and grass grow ing green on sunny hillsides Hiram sat by his city the air lifted the hair upon his forehead and thought of the when he dwelt under bit vine and fig tree and watched the dancing with greedy eye Marian he said in bis feeble piping voice Marian dont you think we might a little walk in the park this afternoon J air is so f so tired of those four walls Marian looked up from her desk at farther end of the room She was a slender pretty girl of seven or eight aud twenty with large soft eyes brown hair and checks By and by dear father flho said gently when tho gets a little lower And once more eagerly resum ed her writing the pen flying swiftly over the smooth surface of tho paper as if it were winged with speed Hiram turned to his wife I who sat patiently sewing opposite to him Wife said he apple trees will be in blossom at the old farm soon you remember bow the white leaves used to shower down oh tho ground like a snow storm I The old farm if I could have ended my days there he added with a weary sigh Here Im a poor weakly old man and nobody nurses me or cares for me in the city whirl but there every is a friend of mine and the very among the branches sounds familiar in my ears Its no use thinking about old times dear said his wife sighing al most If I could have been contented to let those oil speculations alone sumed Hiram eagerly I could have bought them a month only a month earlier But I was mad and wo are ruined landlord was here this morning persecuting us because the rent of this room wasnt paid I never thought I should come to this His wife made no reply Marian still wrote brow slightly con tracted Still wo would done well enough went on poor old if Marian could mode up her mind to marry young He is well out- we old folks could have had a homo with him with our feet on green grass and a pure clear sky above our Its not too late yet lass was hero yester day when you and your mother were down to those musty old newspaper offices Youd better think of it my Marian looked up tossing back the drooping hair from her brow Marians cheek glowed at this un deserved taunt but sho made no re ply Fathers not well said to herself and hes old and irritable and his hot weather frets him will bo better when And there Marians reverie stop ped The air was full of tho sweet breath of new mown hay when tho open car- rolled along the green country rustling boughs of elm and beach and waving willow Hiram lacks brightened the Wood seemed to le3p with now im pulses through his Ah ho cried drawing a deep breath now I am beginning to again Why this is the old road with gnarled oak hanging over gate Them are fields that used to bo ours Daughter why did you toko this I thought you would like to see the old place again father It isnt ours any longer ho cried those clover fields I always said it was the best ground in the countryand the tall com grow ing so loyally And house looks just tho it used to look I believe it is the very same robin singing in poplar tree by the porch His eyes brimming over with tears his voice sounded strangely as he spoke Who lives hero now 1 ho asked You said Burke bad sold it Nobody just at present Shall we go in and walk through rooms Hiram Lacy assented with a silent nod of the head It was all tho the old furni ture undisturbed in its nooks and cor ners worn family carpet same tinting of wall and woodwork Hiram Lacy could almost believe that it was but yesterday ho quitted threshold He sat down in the old

sentiment I hopo I shall never outgrow it father answered Marion in a low voice And you ftro waiting for love to grow up in your heart your poor old father and mother may their Jives out In this city smelling den I hopo not father said Marian My writing I dont wont to another word of your writing interrupted Mr Lacy If it hadnt been for your ridiculous idea that weroagenius you would have settled down to bo John wife five years ago Marian pursued argument no further but her mothers gentle en couraging glance as looked up mutually testified that had at least one sympathizer And April violets blossomed and died and hung her of bloom on tree glen and forest and still Marian toiled early and fathers words often occurred to her at times of fatiguo or desponden cy a genius Was she indeed a genius If were oh bright im possible if every sacred fire of her nature was burning on altar of this book into which was inter weaving fancies of soul or brain oh if I And Marian grow and moro absorbed day by day and her mother watched her with wistful and silent can and old Hiram fretted on with incoherent plaint of old ago and the summer ripened into golden full ness under beamy moonlight nights end glow of tropical day Its getting warm weather groan ed old Hiram and this wa ter isnt fit for let alone a Christian Oh if I could only a drink of water out of old under garden wall It used to be as cold as ice when the sun was at its hottest I dreamed last of standing that- v old brimming and wild roses hanging over the curl all in a tangle as they used to grow Father said Marian who

your old Youve vcryclocJ won- once mora ho said in a broken voice Father cried Marian unable to restrain herself any longer you shall never leave it It is homo to you I Home repeated old Hiram in a voice It was home once I Know but And it is home now cried Ma rian throwing her around his neck and bursting into tears Tell him mother I cannot Marian Is the one who has bought it father said the old lady with fond maternal Her book has published and it was a great success and she took money to buy the old farm back for her father and mother to end their days In Old was silent for an in- then he laid his hand on Ma rians bowed My daughter he said you have kept the fourth commandment and God will bless you for it his own good timo I never dreamed of this when when I was so cross and Unreasonable with you Hut who is as a the thresh old and a tall noble looking man en tered from another door One of our new neighbors perhaps there have been many new changes since I lived here No
