Arthur had realised to the full that touchingly simple saying of Anderson’s, that “people had a great deal of trouble to go through, and then they became famous.”

The only shadows which fell upon the greensward of their path in life’s highway were those which fell from the memory of others’ sorrows; but, like the shadows of summer clouds upon the green and flowery landscape, these only made the way more beautiful, and heightened still further the glory of that halo of gratitude which shone about their peaceful lives.

THE END.
