lowered on her plate was disconsolately nibbling almonds For two years the same dispute had been springing up between the old couple just as now at the end of their evening meal For it was two years since they had fallen out with their son Edward who in spite of their opposition had married a woman picked up somewhere in the Latin quarter just as he was about to take his degree as a lawyer too How they had loved him and petted him this Edward- this child who had come after ten long years of married life when they bad almost given up hoping for a son The happy then on ly a simple builder had rubbed his line cards the irritated mason made and again And at every new at tempt was furious and made a terrible scene Their home became a purgatory These two old people who had nothing to re proach themselves with who had lov ed each other faithfully who had liv ed and toiled side by side for more than thirty years became almost hos tile Every night at the dinner ta ble the quarrel broke out and it always ended with some of those stinging thrusts that wound to the heart Do you want me to tell you what I think the woman would say You are without pity And you are a coward to want me to give in the mason replied leaving the room with a stamp of his heavy foot- Left alone in the soft of the lamp hi the comfortable parlor the poor mother who was true to customs and retained her white linen caps would quietly drop burning tears on her knitting and pray for her boy had lost all love for his home now that he had continually i sad face to look upon He had got the habit of joining some

had the sat isfaction of seeing his son and violent speeches against the present state of morals whore pater nal sorrow was occasioned by But he swore that he at least would be a good example he would be stern to the end He could speak of nothing else and his part ners proclaimed him a tiresome old fellow as soon as his back was turned In his presence however they deplored his illluck in having

It was the mothers fault she was too wretched and she had relented at last Her sorrow had got the better of her resentment and now she was actually Inclined to forgive One day she mustered up sufficient courage to mention subject to her husband But he fell into a frenzy of passion crying Never with a force which snook the doors and windows forbidding the poor woman to say another word about It had not the heart to obey him and pledcd the cause again Brutus must have had a cruel hard heart and that it was a horrible thing to condemn his son to death- Sunday has come a joyous bright happy day merry with the chimes of bells and the promise of warm spring days The city itself looks gay and coquettish Women are coming home from church and all are carrying a bunch of boxplant that fills the air with a sweet fresh odor Even the old cab horses have a hit of it stuck behind their ear who sat up last evening at the cafe playing cards till mid night wakes up very late He is in a horrible mood and what man would not be I would like to know Last night at the usual hour he had again to listen to his wifes absurd ities She had again mentioned fcMward and tried to soften him She had made Inquiries she said and learned that their daugh terinlaw lor she was that in spite of all his anger was not the bad woman they had first thought A poor girl Yes she had worked in a store But

him and looks at the clock- It is only eleven oclock and who had a fine appetite this morning feels cross at the thought of eating only at twelve Soon mother gueil returns from church with a large bunch of box plant She places it- on a side table and suddenly the whole room is filled with the fresh strong odor is no poet he has not a very refined nature yet he is impressionable for all that you or me add the sight ol the green branches recalls faroff memories While the old woman is busy taking apart the twigs to decorate the room with them the penetrating perfume affects his old heart Ho remembers a certain Easter morning long long ago when he was still a work man and his wife a dressmakers ap prentice ItWas their honeymoon had married a few days Lent she had re turned from the church with a fra grant burden- and made their only room bright and festive I low pret ty she he loved her And by a rapid effort of imagination he recalls in instant Their long years of She had ever been so Industribus so- thrifty so devoted And how he tortures her this good He makes her suffer on account of his wicked son But is really Edward so wicked as all that 1 Of course a fellow ought to honor his

picture of Wioir boy in his college suit when they felt so proud of him and of his stud What is the matter The old mason hardly- knows what I is about His head swims it is strong odor of the plant

A message from the throne to bear Killed with His lathers lovo To Him His wellbeloved Son Who faithfully His work had done- Had suffered and the conquest won That man might dwell above The angel

Father meant All needed aid afford him Ah the cry of Joy that bursts from the mothers lips And he her Just as in their young days He has not given her that name for more than fifteen years and she understands that he loves her still her husband her old compan ion She throws herself into his arms and kisses him fraijticaliy all over his face takes his in both her hands and whispers in his ear The other day couldnt help it really she went to see their boy He Is so unhappy to have offended them And it he has not come a hundred times to beg their forgiveness is simply because he did not dare You know she adds and her voice becomes soft and caressing you know I have seen his and you really cannot blame him for loving her she is so sweet and as fresh as a rose She just worships our one can

and myself only bad three minutes to catch the train and at Mr Stewart joined us in a trip to a coal mine at Quarter Road near about or miles front Glasgow Twenty minutes walk from the Hon took us to the mine shaft where we were met by Mr Patterson fore man of the oiners and a friend of Stewarts Leaving our and rain coats in the engine room we were conducted to the cage in the shaft each having been sup plied with a miners lamp a minia ture coffee pot At a signal to the engineer we slowly descended into the pit Down Down went and it seemed an age before the bottom was reached Before reaching it how ever we sadly missed our raincoats for had received a regular shower bath On account of so much wet weather a burn stream had forced its way along a seam of earth to the shaft causing an incessant splashing and This mine is the smallest in a ser ies of six all being connected and was the only one being worked at the time of our visit it being Saturday After becoming familiar with our environs at the base of the shaft and watching the coal being sent above we wore requested to follow lead er the foreman of the mine who took us to a number of hutches the carts used in hauling the coal to the surface which had been padded with nice clean straw and into one of which each climbed Thus present ing the appearance of a miniature passenger train we set of for a trip through mine a distance of over CO fathoms below the ground over feet and travelled over a mile and a half from the shaft These hutches or barrows travel on rails being hauled part of the way by connecting with a cable and from the remote corners by ponies in all A coal digger was at work driven by compressed air in onesection of the mine and our friend the fore man explained its working to us tak ing it apart and showing its con struction From this section we were conducted through passages in some places not four feet high neces sitating constant bending many a time my Christie saved my head from a thump against the roof in my attempt to watch- my footing and save myself from stumbling over the sleepers on the track At this second section we were given a pick and each in turn took a whack at the vein of coal and thus being a miner for a few minutes which was quite sufficient for me I secured a lump of coal of my own digging as a souvenir of our visit at nearly ICO feet below the surface The stables of the ponies are cou ple of minutes walk from the shaft as well as the engine which drives the cable and furnishes the compress ed air for the diggers Having thanked and tapped our guides we again scrambled into the cage the ascent three times as fast as the descent although the time seemed just as great tons of coal is the daily average production of this pit in which men are employed The coal in sold and delivered in Glasgow from to shillings per ton We spent over two hours in the pit and after going through the wash- house where the coal Is cleansed by means of running water turned our faces towards Hamilton miles away at which place all able to take an early train Glas gow It was four oclock when we sat down to dinner and tell you were quite able lo take our allowance for had hai to eat since breakfast at oclock Shortly after a very amus ing Incident occurred and I have seen several similar ones here that of a fight and this time it was between a Scotchman and an Irishman both having sheets In the wind The two men were finally separated by the Scotch mans daughter and the scene afford ed great sport the neighbors and passersby Kind regards to old friends EDGAR
