Then he looked up, with his byight old eyes Tor the moment very steady, and said with a firm though hollow voico: The will of tho Lord bo done! Tho will of the Lord be douo, Smith." "The will of the Lord shall not bo done, cried Mr. Smith emphatically, and striking his thick knees with his fist, "un til the man who has done it shall be swung, Squire, swlmg.

As soon as Mr. Smith had nnnonser. tho rngo of hunger, tho Squlfo came back eaimiy to talk with him. Mr. Ogjander had passed tho bitterest hour of his long life yet; filled nt every turn of thought hum yearning to break down nnd weep. Sometimes his mind was so confused that he did not know how old he was, but seemed to bo in tho lone imst davs. with his loving wife upon his arm, and their urncic toddling in front of them. Ho spoke to them both as he used to do, nnd rpenking cleared his thoughts again; and he shook away the dreamy joy in tho blank forlorn of facts. At last he washed his face, and brushed his silver hair and untended beard, and half in the lookins- glnss expected to seo his daughter scold ing him; becnuse ho knew thnt he hnd neglected many things sho insisted on. "I hope yon have been treated well." ho sold, with his fine old-fashioned bow. I do not often lenvo my guests to attend to themselves In this way." "Don't npologizo, Squire, I beg you.

"Well, Mr. Smith.' snid the Smiiro trying to smilo nt kin fneotiousness, "1 am very glad thnt yon havo dono well. in weather like this, a young man like you must require n good deal of nour ishment.
