She waa in dcllcato health, and ho had left her asleep. Ho was on his way to a sick parishioner, 1 now lying in danger. I When Mrs. Baumgarten awoko, not , long Afterward, she lay thinking of a ' ilnmm she had Just had. So real and vivid did it seem that at first sho won dered where she was, and looked round at the familiar objects of tho bed chamber in doubt. "Why, it was only a dream 1" sho ex claimed. "I am at home, and In my own bed." Presently she got up, and dressed her self w:th trembling fingers. Sho waa weak, nnd languid, nnd hot; always in a fever now. Looking about for thc coolest dress s'jc had, sho put it on ; a black and while muslin. They were In mourning for Mrs. Dane. She hnd died the previous winter. Summer had como round again, and It was nearly a year now slnco Edith's marriage. When sho had quite finished dressing and reading, and prayers she sat down In an easy chair beforo the open window, letting the sweet morning air fan her hec tic face. The sun shone In the diuo sicy ; the scent of newmown hay came from 0 near meadow, thc hum of bees sounded drowsily In the heat; butterflies fluttered across the green lawn from flower to flower. As the clock Btruck 8 Mr. Baumgarten returned, he nodded to Edith from tho garden, came in, and ran upstairs. It was their breakfast hour. "I hoped to find you asleep still, Edith," he said. "I wish you would breakfast In bed 1" "Oh, Byle, I could not; I am glad to be up; bed tires me, I think. Ityle," sho said, smiling, "I have had such a lovely dream." "Indeed! It Is not often you dream. What was it?" "When Charlotte and I were children, she used to tell her dreams of a morning. 1 felt quite jealous, because I never bad any to tell." " "Well, what was this one?" "I thought I had a long, long Journey to take, and as I set out from the door here and walked down the path to tha gate, I looked round and saw you In the parlor alone. I don't know where I went, or which way; It was all strange to me. It seemed as if I went miles and mllea and miles ; more than I can reckon ; mora than there are miles in the world. But, oh ! the way was lovely. The air was bo light and balmy that I seemed to float along In an ecstasy. The most enchant ing flowers, sweeter and lovelier and mora brilliant than we can imagine out of a dream, grew on each side the way. It seemed that I had never known beforo what happiness was, what enjoyment meant; and it was all so vivid that when I awoke I thought it was reality." "A pleasant dream," remarked Mr. Baumgarten. "Ilow did it end?" "It had no ending. I was still gliding along amidst tho flowers when I awoke. It took me ever so long to realize that I was in my own bed and had not gone on that beautiful journey." "I hope the journey has made you hungry," he lightly said. "Breakfast must be waiting." That dream occurred on Friday morn ing. It was the last Friday In June. On the Tuesday morning following, Edith Baumgarten was lying in extreme peril; the doctors giving little hope of her life. Mr. Baumgarten was sitting by her bedside, holding her hand in his ; his tears were kept back, his voice was low with suppressed grief. "Do not say we 'have been happy, my darling; say 'we are.' I cannot part with you ; there is hope yet." "There i3 none," she wailed "there Is none. Oh, Byle, my husband, it will be a hard parting!" She feebly drew his face to hers, and his tears fell upon it. "Edith, If I lose you, I shall lose nil that Is of value to rae in life."
