finally disapPeared, and the little
incident Was soon forgotten her the
very feW who bad lotown anything
about it.
I was one of those few; the why
end neettuse of that fent has noth-
ing to do with the present story.
A Week or two later I took the
been from London to Liverpool,
and on looking round the, Coutpa:t-
meat at ansii fellow travelers. I rec-
ognized the old man with white hair
and beard, who spoke of himself -as
"Charles Brown",when Mrs. Ed-
ward Harding was doting.
Ills eyes were fixed upon the
do‘r by which he had taken his seat,
but I am certain that he sawnoth-
ing-unless. indeed, he had,sonte
mental vision of his own past or
his future.
After a while we two bed the car-
riage to ourselves, aecept for one el-
nerly lady whose capacity for Weep-
ing sonvelly through a radtvey
joilr-
ncy was nothing less than astound-
ing. I took a vacant place nearer
to him, and for the sake of getting
into convereation, ,asked where he
was bound for, ,
"Bound for Halifax," answered the
old man, quietly, and then added,
"for Canada, you know."
"A fine country; and full of, pos-
. sibilities," I said. "I have some-
times thought I. should like to emi-
grate."
I do not think he was listening;
he had fixed his eyes again upon the
helPect any but deserving men; an-
eareten me. After. an interVal

.had ever before me:need the Atlan-

"Yes -five years ago," he said.
"And 1 ame back a feNy .weeks since
to find- the only true friend I ever
possessed. But. I came too late."
Another silence, eand then as if
moved by some strong and irresisti-
. bid impulse, the strange old man
' made me acquainted with his life
e,ry,
,.'Told briefly, it was this: IIe had
bean a small farmer, like his father
before hina, in one of the southern
.counties of England. For years all
wont fairly well; he married, had
children, and was contented with his
lot, Suddenly, and' from no ex-
plainable cause, a run. of misfortune
set in for Charles Drown. Crops
failed,times were bad, his wife and
two ..children died within a week of
each other by infectious fever, and
at the year's end he found himself
heavily in deband on the road to
ruin.
Then, like many another unhappy
,creature, he tried the consolation of
drink, which, as a matter of course,
