CHAPTER XXI.
A.fewdays from the time; set for Bertha's re
turn to her home, Earle carried little Coe down to
An Ice's, and announced that the most worshipful
lady of Willow Orange would soon make her ap
pearance, with Joy for her companion, and they
would spend the day with the lady olClover Hall.
Thle fanciful name had "been given to Anlce'a
y.hr hrotherdlffonl, hecaue aiheaald.
the white clover waa the only thing about the
place that was pretty. t . . " -v
The two friends had a most confidential day of
it. Anlce felt that she must unburden her heart
to Bertha. The Ut traw had been placed upon
her hardened back on the evening before, when
her husband had been brought home senseless
from liquor, and she felt that (t was useless for her
to try longer to keep up even an appearance' of
" Tiapplness. She told Bertha that she had never
before felt so utterly hopeless. .
" Bertha tried to comfbriber, and asked If she
ould not hope for Harry's reform."
If It were not that he Is under the Influence of
two evil habits," said she, , might have more
Bopefulnees; but he has been gambler, now, for
wo loug a time, and li has become such a peeslbn
Xwlth him, that I think there s little likelihood

were denied, -sometime, things, necessary to purl

. I followed him until I found out where he wentr
'- and that I could have no influence over him, and
finally I came to feel that it was beyond my power
do help ihlm, and have tried to do my duty at
nome and leave the rest in other, stronger hands.
You must not think I did not do my best, Bertha.
There was not a kind act I could think of that I
did not do, nor a persuasive argument that I have
"K not suggested ( but the demons were too strong for
ear united strength,", ' ; ;
Bertha knew of no comfort but the word of the
Host High.
latt. Earth hath few. sorrows greater than yours,
tut it hath none which Heaven cannot heal, and
perhaps your days may be brighter soon. The
darkest hour oMhe night is Just before the"morn-
. tag.,H , :""; ri-iH."" ."';
, When Bertha returned home that . evening,
Anlce felt comforted and more at peace than ahe
had been for a long time before. The quiet pleas
ure they had enjoyed In talking over their plans
'" tor the future of .their little ones, and the subtle
Influence, of Bertha's strong faith and happy
spirit, had almost effaced the bitter memory of
the previous night, and she felt somewhat hopeful.
Tho evening boat arrived at its usual time.
Anioo could see Its coming from her door.. The
evening light otithejlverwas lovely; asjt tipped
ths ripplea with silver edges, and she. stood at the
door awaiting ber husband's coming, In a dreamy
mood, that was more like happiness than any
thlnu she had experienced for a long time. Bhe
. waited till the shadows deepened, and was Just
furnlnir to close the door, when a young man,
whom she reeognlxed as . an employ on the boat
npon which her husband waa purser, entered, the
gatgrttlra hurrlwi atep and came up to her and
mli. without any preface whatever J
'Mrs. NoTJle, youSTliusbahd was drowned to-

. . Cut his cniel abruptness had done It work, and
". Anlce fell forward across the door-way where she
sad stood, without making a single sound.
"", The "young mafl Tushed' forward, and, calling
' . ' . .V..'
loudly for help, tried to raise her up. Her two
little girls, who had been near her, ran to har with
Cries of terror.' At this moment a passing neigh
bor came to toe asaistance of the troubled group,
and. after a little time. Anlce came back to con
sciousness, and was carried to her bedVhere al
that could be done for her was performed by sym
pathizing neighbors.
Just atthls time, the Captalnof the boat, aecom
panled by Captajn Aldenn, arrived on the scene,
having come for the purpose of . breaking the sad
news to Anlce as, carefully as possible. ' '
' "It afterwards appeared that the young man; who
had been so thoughtless In his manner of jdellver
lng his message, had been sent by "one of the
rough' boat-hands, who had Intended a kindness,
but failed In his manner of performing It..

time of the accident, and had done, all that he
could to assist In finding the body of the drowned
maa, who had lost his balance and fallen over
board near the Cascades. No one was near Harry
at the time, but, as he was standing on the lower
deck; quite near the edge, some one let down
bucket from the second deck, and, as it swung
back and forth, he was seen to dodge quickly and
fall over backwards into the river. The boat was
going swiftly, and he waa probably borne back
trader the wheel before be had time to reeover
himself and swim away from the danger, as he
was never seen to rise to the surface after he fell.
When Anlce had sufficiently recovered from her
first shock, she listened to the particulars of the
accident and the kind attempts' of the gentlemen
to comfort her, and asked Captain Aldenn If he
would go and Inform Mrs. Ruwmll of her great be
reavement.
When Bertha beant, she went to Anlce immedl-
ately, .'
"Oh, Bertha J" cried Anlce,. Vyou said the dark-
cat hour was Just before the morning, and Is this
my morning ? Am I awake, or do I yet dream V
Bertha clasped her In a long embrace, and said
not a word, but busied herself In making the little
children comfortable. 8he took Anlce's crying
nfant to her own breast, and cared for It as her
own alflb long, sad night, and kept every care
from Anlce as far as she could do so. ' ' " '
The"hex rmornlirAhloe's mother cahie over
the river, and Insisted upon taking her to her own
home, and Anlce gladly acquiesced.
"I feel so weary, rootherr as though I could
never get rested again," said she ; "and my head
aTo dull that I am not capable of getting on
alone." X. ...r.: -.
Little Kit waa quite a lad by this time, but he
was not too old to rejoice In )he advent of Anlce'a
baby boy at hla house. -
'lie la come to stay," he said to Clifford, when
that champion of the rights of woman camehbrne
from school. "Aren't you glad?"
"Christopherxrout I but that's the best thing In
seven fltates J" exclaimed Cliff. "Hurrah !"
"But." aaid Kit, 'sister Anlce 'prettar died
when she heard Harry was drowned. Little Bloe
som said the thoiight mammajras sure dead."
"Yes," said Blossom, "Lfought her, waa sure

llarrv'a body waa never found. The strong
waters of the great Columbia bore it downward
toward the sea, and none- may know the quiet
nook among the driftwood tangles along the shore
or by what sandy bar or rocky shoal It found a
resting-place. ,
Perhapa It waa as well for Anlce that It ahould
te thus, but ahe could not think so. For days ahe
watched and waited for tidings of that form that
had once been so dear, and It seemed to add
greatly to her distress- that she could not lay It
where she might give It tender care and beautify
the spot. ' . XX X'
But Bertha comforted her In this also.
Thls Is sure," aald she, "when all other helpers fXJ'Pwhapa the dear Father In Heaven,"-aald ahe.
"who loves you well, naa given him as loveiy a
resting-place as any spot of earth could be, and

and oftentimes It would be wise to put the money

mentoes left us bv our best friends, our-cnu
w
dren will heed all you have for them.'' , . f
Anlce finally became so worn out with her sor
row, and watching for the recovery of the body or
her husband, that Bertha perauaded her to leave
her little girls with her mother and go to W 11 low
Orange when Bertha returned home. .
, The two friends passed the Autumn months to
gether, Bertha delighting in doing everything for
Anlce to help her to recover her lost roses. The
fresh breexe from the sandy hills along the Co
lumbia came laden with health and strength for
the mourner, and with these came the cheerful
spirits that were natural to her, so that when she
returned. Juatbef ore Christmas, te the Willamette
Valley, Anlce seemed more like her old self than
she had been for many months.
-"What shall tewer-doifor- you to repay youTor,
rtvinir m hark mv health and courasre 7" said sne
to Bertha, as she waa bidding her good-bye.
, "Ah." aaid Bertha, "no one knowe how soon
mw tiMil mm nr ramforL and if I should. 1 know
to whom to co. dear friend, There Is nothing
sweeter In all of Jlfe than to feel we have helped
to bear some burdens for thoae we love."
"I aha! always .be grateful to God for giving
you such kind and noble husband," said Anlce;
"one whole willing to help you lu all your char
itable undertakings, and so fully sympathizes In
all your feelings." '
. "Amen T' said Bertha. "I, too, am grateful."
Florehce'B sister Julia was now quite well, and
spent part of her time with Florence and part
with Bertha.. After Anlce went home, she came
back to .'the Bird'snest, In order to be company
for Bertha during the dull Winter months, her
twin sister Jennie remaining with Florence. 1 .
Charlie-Cleaveland had come down from his
mountain ranche 4 In-order-to bring the sheep
where they eouldjhave food for the Winter. As
there were now.eeveral families within the range
of a few miles, a school was organized and Cleave

Julia. had developed Into a very pretty girl, with
quiet, lady-like manners, and was a great lover of
knowledge. ' Cleaveland found It a. delight to
teach her, and, as the Winter days gave place to
the budding beauties of Spring, he began to dread
the time when he should be obliged to give up
this pleasant occupation, 'and the little taste of
social life that he had enjoyed during the Winter,
andrefurn to tlnvTonely shephenTi ranche of
Bitter-sweet. He now owned a share of the sheep
that he tended, and several horses, but the thought
of asking Julia, in her tender, budding youth, to
go to that" far-away ranche In the mountains with
him seemed too .chimerical to be entertained.
Yet, after that thought had once, found a lodg
ment, he could not banish It from , his mind, and
began to become almost a hope that such a
thing might not be Impossible at some distant,
future day. He had never said one word of love
to the young girl ; v but his tones were always
varied to tenderness whenever, he addressed her,
and his many kind acta and gentle maimers had
raised him to such a position In her estimation as
to show very plainly to those versed I if the lore
of love that she thought him the very flower of
men-the wisest and the best. . . f .-

the setting sun, and Bertha could not help admlr-
ngthe tatl,-Blender;jforro of the graceful riders,
and thinking with pridei of the possible future In
store for them, ae ahe thought they might" never
have found each other had it not been for her. -
While the two rode gaily along over the hills,
they talked of the pleasure of . the past Winter,
and Cleaveland told Julia that he was dreading1
his lonely life for the Summer Intensely.
"I did not .feel last Summer as I shall this,"
IdX "The delightful times we have had together
have spoiled me for ever going off alone again.
And what will you be doing all the long Summer

"Oh," said she, "I do hot know how I can get
through them. I shall be lonely, too," and she
turned her face toward him with the saddest smile
that he had ever seen on her lips. V ,
The look In her Innocent eyea-was-aiso -one nee
had never before seen there. He answered It with
one of equal feeling. i .
"I did not know I did not dare to hope you felt
as I did about it. Do you know I am to start In a
few days, and shall you miss me very much ?"
She. looked at him again, and her Hps trembled

"Why, you dear child! I have feared to tell

delicate that you might never think me a fit mate.
I fear now that you may be mistaken, that you
only like my company because you do not know,
younger, men, and are deprlved of, their society."
Julia turned and looked In his eyes with such a
look of intense love and pride that he felt-ant"

"Mr. Cleaveland, If I were to live a thousand
years, and see all the men in the world, I should
never see one whom I could love and respect as I
do you. -I have never thought It possible for me
to love any other man since I first aaw you, but I
little thought you would ever consider me fit. 'to
