stood on the veranda. When the
young' man loomed up, his specula

"How-de-do, sir?"" he said cordial
ly. "Guess you was with us three
year since stayed to supper. Ain't
that so?"
"It certainly is," said the guest
cheerfully. "I am surprised that you
remember me."
"Time's a flyer; it's fitted with -triple
screws these days," said, the
landlord. "How long was you cal- -keratin'

sional, holding him guilt
less under the destiny
that awaits us all.
