brothers; and. wlmt Is often more than
brothers do, they loved one another.
W hile they were mere Itoys they had
been left orphans, friendless, alone
with the world and with necessity.
They were Industrious and frugal, their
purse was common, and working thus
together they managed to keep off star
vation and debt.
They were now In the period of early
manhood. Allan, the elder, was 211 years
o f age. and Kavld 30. They occupied
tw o plen.-Mnt rooms In a respectable
lodging lionse, lived well, ami had some
money sated in the bank. "A t first I

their life and their affairs; "It was such
a hard struggle. Hut there Is no longer

was strong, keen, and determined.
Kavld was gentle and sympathetic, but

Iti their lutciihc devotion to one an
other.
It happened In the midst of this which
they regarded as prosperity that Allan
was suddenly beset by a grievous Ill

were now and again critical titties

One morning the doctor, as he was
about to leave, motioned across tile sick
man's bed that he wished to speak with
him alone. They went out Into the
hall, where the physielati sat down
upon a chair and Kavld leaned hack
«gainst a corner of the wall.
ITesently Allan heard the confused
m urm ur of their talk. He climbed out
of the bed and dragged himself with
difficulty across the floor Into the sit
ting-room. Placing his ear against the
hall door, which was not quite closed,
he heard aH, unseen and unsuspected.
“ It Is useless for me to continue these
