There is also time enough for Conway to tell about that little son of his, whose coming into the world has caused them to stop at this restful little place. He tells of it proudly, and speaks lovingly of the little mother who is not yet able to get downstairs. Whereat Lettie’s face becomes a trifle paler, and a look of great yearning comes into her eyes, and the ponderous carriage drives on with a cracking of the whip and a merry jingling of bells, and the doctor hurries upstairs to tell the little mother his wonderful news. Back in one of the coolest rooms of the little inn, also with a pipe in his mouth, is another of these great people; and as he lies back in an easy-chair and blows clouds of smoke from his lips, we will look over his shoulder and note what he sees in the rolling clouds of smoke. There is no wife in the smoke of Jim’s future, and no little children of his own. Instead, he sees a pleasant, cheery room, with rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed children clustering around the fire--bright, happy children, who above all things else prize the one dusky hour in the evening when “Uncle Jim” is with them. He sees the child of his heart--his sister’s firstborn--steadily mounting to fame in the profession that he has chosen for him. He sees the grandfather sink into his grave, blessing him with his last breath for the years of peaceful happiness that _he_ has given him. And there arises before him like incense the prayers of gratitude from numberless hearts that _he_ has relieved of their burdens. And he blows the smoke away to find his sister and her husband--who is still her lover--standing before him, and he hears her murmur, as she kisses him fondly: “Dear old Jim, how much we all love you!” THE END.
