I loved dear old Dad and I shall miss him more than I have ever missed my own father, who died when I was too young to under-| stand. | The day was wonderful The whole atmosphere was one of mol ten gold. Poor mother whispered as she sank back into the carriage seat: “He loved the sunshine so.” I knew in her heart she was re. bellious that the day was so bright and seemingly oblivious of the cata- clysm that had come to her. Someone—I don’t remember who —has called nature “the greatest sympathizer.” I have never found it so. Nature goes about her own business fn the most impersonal and implacable way. She will put forth her gayest ‘buds and blossoms while you are| bidding farewell to your nearest and dearest and will weep and moan when your heart is singing with its greatest happiness. Nature warms me, inspires me, contents me, but It ever sympathizes with me When we reached the cemetery the grave, in fact the whole lot, was a bed of flowers.
