I HE next .morning, . after- his re
turn from Atlanta, George met
Bascom .Trultt at ; the - ware
'house. " - -
"Brought yore ' mother in with toe,"
he said. "I left rer up at the postofdce
readin' letter. - She'll be down direct
ly. . I missed' you at the reunion, "but I
heard you was on hand. Lord, I missed
the sidewalk, they tell me! -1 met some
old friends, thatkept.merfull to the
neck through jtbe' whole business... X
couldn't' toot my bugle. , '
Thatf s one way to celebrate, George
said, with a smile, asTruitt was turn
ing away. . . - -.
' A few minutes ; later Mrs: Buckley
came into the office. She wore a check
ed gingham sunbonnet: and it ' was
pulled well dowtt over - her" face.; In
. her iiand nhe held a letter. --By" her
silence and : agitated manner George
knew she ' had ' received unpleasant
news.. He placed a. chair for; her near
his ..desk and resumed bis - own seat,
wondering -what could have happened,
v -"You have a. letter from father,? he
said tentatively,.."
- "Not from him, George, but if a from
up tharVi- If s from the prison doctor."
She was silent-. a moment, then ahe
continuedrAYore pa's bad off,- George.
The doctor thinks he's had a serious attack.--It's
that old hurt place irf his
head that he got when be fell off the
wagon fff teen jear. ago, -The" doctor
cayn't tell how IVU come out,' bnt.be
says I'd better i be up thar. "Yore pa
keeps axu fer- ene. X cayn't v refuse
inv George The 'speaker' suddenly
paused and applied her handkerchief to
her eyes.; V S7 . .;-? "l'rf:'
' "Well, you can go, 'at course,' said
George 7
,"Ohj kin -I?"" she exclaimed.. ; "I was
af eard you wouldn't want me to-:: I'd
rather gor. George -1 sorter hardened
tuy.lieart agin 1m when he was stout
' an "Well.but now he's suff erin'r I want
to be"with,im.".:' She broke dowa and
began to cry again. -.- - .
t ;"There Isnothing on earth to binder

touchedT)y her. emotiou,rand . if you
want me to do so, TH go, too, mother,
lie's my" father- the only . one : I ever
had, and" i"V- .,---- -r
- One of us will be enough," said Jklrs.
Buckle;" ?But,, George, I've-; been
sfudyin since X got this letter.- I never
thought of it . before, - but X - never
knbwed yora-pa to do a dishonest act
till he had that fall an' 'hurt Ms head.
I read In the Index f othetday -whar a
after you was born." George, ef he gits
wen and serves his time out I think me
n 5 'im bad, better " move off - somers.

George Buckley' head sank for an
instantvthen he lookedTup and gaxed
at her tenderly. ' " - - -

keep me from being withTyou and hlnv
When bis time is outwe'X all live together--
I've made up my mind on that

The" old .woman': started away She
had reached the door, but turned back

said huskily, "you are a good boy, and"
then she slowly-walked twtj,?:.1?''
