Joe s parents had written him he might come home lo*|icuda few days, including Faster, and here he again saw the friends of hi- childhood. Now they renewed all their old bonds of affection, went hunting wild Mowers as they had so often done, and when Joe hade her adieu at his return he whispered that he had a secret for her the next time he saw her. Some month- after Joe had gone to college for the first time an holiest, hard working hoy was given charge of Florence'* Mow er garden and neigh boring grave-, and on account of his congenial dispo-iiioii a friendship ex- i.-led hetween I he t wo; t hen. as it seems 11 fate.
