HONOR AND PEACE. 99 “T told ’em I shouldn’t believe it till I seed it with my own eyes,” she said, in a loud key, shaking her head. as she with- drew it, to retire as she had come. Honor to whom honor is due. Not only did Jupe receive a welcome which thawed all the frost out of his bones, but never, thereafter, did he or his wife want for rest and plenty. Provided with a home of their own, on the Bryant farm, they had nothing to do but wait upon themselves and pet little Luke. At first, Mr. Bryant talked of making California his perma- nent residence, thinking their home in New Bristol could never be pleasant to them after what had occurred.
