those terrible sufferings had excited

his share of con4eialeration. Bill Baker,

the banner on Which was i:-useiilaed,
"Honor and welcome to Annie Gra-

Mr. Carleton, ton. "Beene,' as he snid,
"that they are nbout as goal as one."
Prompt to the moment when it was
due, the trd.n swept round the ILock-

where a large concourse cf (440pl:' was
gathered. They had not expected the

Annie appealed by this time, nod of

"And for bonny Annie Graham I would

Surely this was a coming home which
Annie had never looked for, and with

her eyes shining with teals, she steed
