In a shabby, dented case the tunic lay. A. Score of times a day the rector made his way to the side of the treasure. He would lift the lid and stare, half-incredu lous, at the plain cross engraven with the words For Velour, and mutter, with tremu Ious lips, his Te Deum. What had he done to deserve such happiness as had befallen him? His son, over whom he had grieved more often than he had rejoiced; his son, whose life, hitherto, had been somewhat of a failure, had added an unquenchable lustre to the honour of his house.
