Mrs. Jack did not see her husband ; she saw a madman in the local hospital that was once the devil-may-care rider, and latterly the devil-may-care criminal. He told her earnestly that he and Sunday were going mates, and would leave for England soon. He entered upon the shoreless sea while fighting with the ghosts of his wild past. There was rejoicing and happiness in the old home, and one day, when Mr. Belltree and his wife had come, and pleasant voices were round the hearth again, the visitor laid his hand quietly on his friend's shoulder, and asked him what he thought of.
