“A ‘oie fortnight. air? is he as bad

“He's In rather I had way. l'm

All that night Mr. Curtis sat up with
the patient. wetting the bandages as
fast as they dried. The first sunbeam
of a July morning stole through the
oohwcbltod window and disclosed the
old man's face vcry white. but with u

"Good morning. i'm very sorry we

idr. Curtis and Galloper moved very
slowly from the door. At the first
tree which cast a patch of shade Mr.
Curtis stopped and Galloper suddenly
collapsed on the grass. Mr. Curtis did
not seem in the least disturbed; he sat
down on the-turf. looking Iimlessly in
front of him.
At fourscore years a great disap-
pointment is apt to be somewhat stun-

Only the fence separated him from

on the wrong side. which made all the
difference. Mr. Curtis suddenly he-
came aware of the sleek. white face.
but its owner did not find the couple
entertaining; with a loss of his head
he cantered off to Join his companions.
Mr. Curtis followed him with his
eyes until he could only see a white
spcclt at the far end of the meadow.
Then. all in a moment. the strange

"Oh. my Gawd!" said the old man.
