It was the opening day of the Assizes, and a large party, including the bishop of the dio- cese were there to meet him.

They put up a swing for him in the big wood -house -a very fine swing, but it was not a tree swing, though it was pleasant enough when his sister push- ed hi.m. Now and then he would use it alone, but most of the time he moped about the yard or the barnyard, won- dering why they were not so nice as those at his old home, and why the barn \vas not so pleasant as the old one had been, AL' last one day the lonely little boy ventured out through the gate that led into the wide road in front of rho house.
