WALTER BRADLEY’S SECRET.
-
When Asa Bradtev wa, sentenced to
the State's prison for life for the double
crime of forgery and manslaughter, many
people said that a wicked wan was now
where he could do no harm; but >t was a
dreadfol misfortune to his wife and son.
Six months afterwards, Mrs. Bradley
died, and the friends of the family
saked, “What will become of poor

But this little burst of sympathy was

“Tea,” responded Mr. Gardiner; and
tbe matter was settled,
Weeks and months psssed. Gilbert
was happy in his adopted borne, and the
comfort and plenty arrrand him made
the long autumn like a continued hoti
day. Old Mr. Gardiner and his wife
grew more and mote attache*} to him,
and their kindness to him was unfailing.

preferred to think that he had some sad

When winter came the Gardiners were
less inclined than ever to let Gilbert go.

It seemed as if he must fly from the
