en suddenly
bounded forward. "Ah his darling little heart!" she broke out; and this
time, on her knees before him and without respect for the idol, she
caught him ardently in her arms. "You walked him too far, you hurried
him too fast!" she hurled over her shoulder at Pemberton. Her son made
no protest, and the next instant, still holding him, she sprang up with
her face convulsed and with the terrified cry "Help, help! he's going,
he's gone!" Pemberton saw with equal horror, by Morgan's own stricken
face, that he was beyond their wildest recall. He pulled him half out of
his mother's hands, and for a moment, while they held him together, they
looked all their dismay into each other's eyes, "He couldn't stand it
with his weak organ," said Pemberton--"the shock, the whole scene, the
violent emotion."

"But I thought he _wanted_ to go to you!", wailed Mrs. Moreen.

"I _told_ you he didn't, my dear," her husband made answer. Mr. Moreen
was trembling all over and was in his way as deeply affected as his wife.
But after the very first he took his bereavement as a man of the world.
