spider had woven its web across the
dial, and even the trHmps who occa
sionally stole Into the dilapidated
building seeking a night's shelter,
thought the big old clock worthless
and worn out.
"T im e is friendly," said the old
clock, “ and I can wait patiently for
the future and the Inevitable changes
it w ill bring. I beard the men who
came through the sugar house last
year speak of Paul with praise. He is
prospering. Some day we will see hint
again, never fear."
“ You are foolish visionaries,” the
old sugar house said, bitterly. “ I tell
you these walls are crumbling and
these sills and rafters are decaying,
and the day will scon come when the
root will fall In and bury what re
mains of this sugar house, a sad re
minder of former prosperity and of

as you say, why has he never come
back to the home of his forefathers?"
"T u t! tut!! said the old desk, pet
tishly. “ I tell you Paul was not of
the stuff to be conquered by adverse
circumstances. I tell you he will come
back to his old home, and"— the old
desk hesitated— "I may as well divulge
the secret I have kept so faithfully
and so long. How often have I trem
bled lest some vagrant would steal me
and carry me away before Paul came.
I look terribly dilapidated, and I lean
against the wall on purpose to add to
that Impression. Who would want an
old broken piece of furniture, with
only three cracked feet and no lock
or key? And yet there is a drawer,
shut with a spring, In which Rene de
I,onge deposited a large sum of money
and valuable papers, deeds and titles,
which will make Paul a wealthy man
when he finally discovers them, as he
surely will ”
"You gladden and rejoice m e!" said
the old sugar house, excitedly. “ If. as
you predict, Paul and his mother will

estate, I would wish that some hurri
cane would hurl off my roof, that these
walls would topple and fall, and that

"but I am glad. I remember now how

that last grinding season, wrote at

his hair was tinged with gray. His
features were handsome, but his face
was careworn and melancholy.
