THE FATE OF MR. BY-ENDS

OW I saw in my dream that Christian was not alone as he left the town of Vanity. For he had as companion one who had been a citizen of that town, and whose name was now Hopeful.

"I will go with you," said this man Hopeful, "because I have seen how gently and patiently and bravely you bore your sufferings at the Fair. And there are many others who witnessed the glorious death of Faithful and will follow after us."

Now they had not gone very far on their way when they overtook one who was going before them. This person was very smartly dressed, he walked with his head thrown back, and he had ever a proud smile upon his face. 87
