Why that's Jest the way ii used to be down in old California." "But we mustn't grumble lip here, Abe. Cuuie on, let's look around a little." . . r ; . And of! they strolled, hand iu hand, down the sunny paths of Paradise, old Abraham Fife and his good wife, Saury. They had reached theeten al dream-laud of the hunwu race, and found themselves treading the holies), ground iu the universe. It was the heaven of man in all the ages where the sum of all the good he has known on earth baa betu extracted from all theevil by' some mysterious alchemy of bis jod.
