"Why did you aend that money bark

8he rolled the tittle red pencil aoftly
between her Augers, and ber face grew
very soft Yet
"It cannot be," she wrote. "I thank

"Nurse," she said, "take my desk

her face to the pillow. It was the sud

Gregory moved the desk softly and

huddered.
He thought ahe was wandering and

Kneeling there, rubbing softly, with
bis cheek pressed against the little
foot, Uregory dropped to sleep at last.
How long be knelt there he could not
tell, but when he started up awake
he was not looking at him. The eye
were fixed on the far corner, gazing
Wide and Intent, wltb an unearthly
light.
He looked round fearfully. What
did she see there God's augels runic
to call her, something fearful? He
aw only the purple carta In with the
hadows that fell from it. Softly he
whispered, asklug what she saw there.
And ahe said. In a voice strangely
unlike ber own: "I see the vlslou of a
poor weak soul striving after good. It
was not cut short, and In the end it
learned, through tears and much pain,
that holiness Is an Infinite compassion
for others; that greatness Is to take the
common thluga of life and walk truly
among them; that" she moved her
white hand and laid It on her fore
lieart "happiness Is a great love and
much serving. It was not rut short,
and It loved what It bad learned-It
loved and"
Waa that all she saw In the corner?
Uregory told the landlady the next
morning that she bad been wandering
II night. Yet when he came In to
give ber ber breakfast she was sitting
up against the pillows, looking aa he
bad not seen her look before.
"Put It close to me," she said, "and
when I have had breakfast I am going
to dress."
She finished all he had brought her
eagerly.
"I am sitting op quite by myself."
he said. "Give me his meat." And
he fed the dog herself, cutting his
food small for him. She moved to the
aide of the bed.
"Now bring the chair near and dress
me. It la being In this room so long
aod looking at that miserable little bit
of sunshine that conies In through the
hutter that Is making me so 111. Al
ways that lion's paw!" she said, with a
look of disgust at It. "Come and dress,
me." Gregory kaelt on the floor Ih

It Is waut of exercise." Khe wauted
Urecury to sajr so, too, but be oy
f.nn.l a larsr.r pair and then tried to
force the ikh- ou, so tenderly! on
to t.r l:tik- feet.

"No." she said, seeing tbe soft gown
he had prepared fur her; "I wtU not

.I;esss, the oue with tbe pink bows.
I d not even want to think I have

of tLiuits that makes them real." she
said. "When you draw your mind
together and resolve that thing shall
iwt be, It gives way before you; It la
not. Everything Is possible If one Is
resolved." she said. She drew tn ber
little l!ps together, and Gregory obeyed
her. She was so small and alight now
It was like dressing small dolL Ue
would have lifted ber down from the
bed when be bad finished, but khe
pusbed bliu from ber. laughing very
softly. It wus the first time the bad
laughed In those long dreary mouths
"No. no: I can get down myself," abe
said, slipping cautiously to the floor.
"You seer Hue cast defiant glance
of triumnb when (be atoost there.
"Hold the curtain up high. Vwant to
look at myself."
He raised It and stood holding It
Hhe looked Into the glasa on the V
posit wall such queenly little fig
ure In Ita pink and white; sub a
transparent little face, refined by )
terlug Into an almost angellTke beafaV
ty. The face looked at ber. fell lodg
ed back, laughing softly. Do, off
ering wltb excitement, ran round ber,
barking. Sue took one atep toward
the door, balancing herself wltb out
stretched bauds.
"1 am nearly there," abe said.
Then abe groped blindly.
"Ob. 1 caunot see! I cannot see!
Where am 17" she cried.
When Gregory reached ber, she had
fallen wltb her face against the sharp
foot of tbe wurdrolie and cut ber fore
bead. Very tenderly he raised the lit
tle crushed heap of muslin and rlbbous
and luid it ou the bed. boss climbed
up and sat looking down at It. Very
softly Gregory's bands disrobed ber.
"You will be stronger tomorrow, and
then we shall try again." he said, but
she neither looked at him nor stirred.
So she lay all that moruing and all
that afternoon.
At lust In the eveulug be bent over
hor. '
"The oxen have come," he snld. "We
can start tomorrow If you like. Shall
I get the wagon ready tonight?"
Twice he repeated bis question. Then
she looked up at him. nud Gregory aaw
that all boH) bad died out of tbe beau
tiful eyes. It was not stupor that shone
there. It was despair.
"Yes; let us gp," she said.
"It makes uo difference," said the
doctor, "staying or going. It la close
uow."
Ho the next day Gregory cnrrled ber
out In bis arms to tbe wagon which
stood "Innpnuned" before the door. As
be laid her down on the "kartel" ahe
looked far out across the plain. Kor
tbe first time she spoke that day.
"That blue mountain far away let
us stop when we get to It, not before."
8he closed her eyes again. He drew
the stills down before nud behind, and
the wagon rolled away slowly. Tbe
landlady and the niggers stood to
watch It from the "stoep."
Very silently the great wagon rolled
along the glass covered plain. The
driver on the front box did not clap bis
whip or call to his oxen, and Gregory
sat beside him with folded arms. He
hind them, In the closed wagon, ahe
h). wltb the dog at ber feet, very
uuii't. with folded hands. He (Greg
ory) dared uot be In there. Like II agar
.when she In Id her treasure down In
the wilderness, he sat afar off. "For
Hagnr said. Let ue not see tbe doath
f the child."
I'vciiing came, and yet the blae
mntiutalu was not reached, aud all toe
next day they rode on slowly, but still
It was far off. Ouly at evening they
reached It, not blue now, but low and
brown, covered with long waving
grasses and rough stones. Tbvy drew
the wagou up close to ita foot for the
iilKht. It was a sheltered, warm spot.
The ulght was growing very old
when from a long, peaceful sleep Lyu
dall awoke. The candle burued at her
head. The dog Iny on her feet, but
lie shivered. It seemed aa thouAW
a coldness struck up to him from
his resting place. Hhe lay with fold
ed hands, looklug upward, aud site
heard the oxen chewing, aud sbe saw
the two moaiiitoca buzxing drearily
round and round, aud her thnugbla
ber thoughts ran far back Into the past
Through these mouths of anguish a
mint had rested on her mind, h was
rolled together now, and the old clear
Intellect awoke from Its long torpor. It
looked back luto tbe past. It saw the
present. There was no future now
The old strong soul gathered Itself to
getber for the lust time. It knew
where It stood.
Slowly raising herself on her elbow,
she took from tbe sail glass that
hung pinned there. Her Angers were
stiff and cold. Hhe put the pillow on
her breast and stood the glasa against
it Then the white face on the pillow
looked Into the white fare In the glsss.
They bad looked at each other ofteu so
before. It had leen a child's face ouce,
looking out aliove Ita blue pinafore. It
had la-in a woman's face, wltb dim
shadow in the eyee and a somethlug
which had said: "We are not afraid,
you and I. We are together. We will
tight, you and I." Now toulght It bad
come to this. The dying eyes on the
pillow looked into the dying eyea In
the glass. They knew that their hour
had come. She raised one band and
pressed 'lie stiff fingers against the
plas. They were growing very stiff.
She tried to speak to It, but she would
never speak again. Ouly tbe wonder
ful yearning light was In the eyea atllL
The body wss dead now. but the soul,
clear and unclouded, looked forth.
Then slowly, without sound, the
beautiful eye closed. The dead face
that the glass reflected wss a thing of
marvelous beauty and tranquillity. Tbe
gray dawn crept In over It and aaw It
lying there.
Had she found what abe sought for
something to worship? Had sbe ceas
ed from being? Wbo shall tell us?
There Is a veil of terrible mist over
the face of tbe hereafter.
CHAPTER XX VL
riaxAH.
"Tell me what soul desires, and I
will tell yoa what It la." so runs the
phrase.
"Tell me what man dreams, and I
will tell you wbat be love" That
also has Ita truth.
On the night when Gregory told bis
story Waldo sat alone before the fire,
bis ontasted supper before hint. He
was weary after bis day's work, too a
weary to eat. He put the plate down i
oo the floor for Does, wbo licked It j
clean and then went back to his corner. .
After time tbe master threw himself ,
across tbe foot of the bed without no- :
dressing sod fell asleep there. He slept
so long list the caudle burned Itself
out and the roon? was la darkness But
be dreamed lursly dreads aa be lay
Ultra.
In ils dream, to his right rose high
(uouDta.ru, tueir tops crowned with
snow, tael sides clot !id w lib bush sud
bathed In the euusb.ae. At their feet
waa tbe sea ilue and breezy, bluer
t&as any earthly sea. like the sea be
bad dreamed of lu bis boybood. la
tbe narrow forest that ran between tbe
mountains and the s-a th air waa rich
Wlto the scent of tue hooey creeper
that bung from dark greeu bushes, and
Ibrougu the velvety grass bttie streams
ran puxllng dowu luto tbe sea. He aat
00 a high, njua.-e rock smoug the
busbsa. and Lju.lull sat by btin and
saiig to blm. She was ouly a small
cuUd. wltb a blue pinafore and a grave,
grave, little face. Ue was looking up
at tie mountains. Then suddenly when
Its looked round she was gone, lie
lipped down from bis rock and went
to look for ber. but he found only her
little footmarks. He found them on
the bright green grass and In the moist
sand and there where the little streams
ran purling down luto the sea. In and
out. tn and out aud among the bushes
where the honey creeper bung, be went
looking for ber.
At last far off. lu the aunsblne, b
saw ber gathering shells upon the sand,
be wanot a ihild now. but a woman,
and the'sun shoue on her soft brown
hair, and In her white dress sbe put the
hells she gathered. 'She waa stooping,
but when sbe beard his step she stood
Up. holding ber skirt close about ber,
and waited for bis coming. One hand
ha put In bis, and together they walk
ed on over the glittering sand and pink
aeaahell, nd they heard the learea
talking, and they beard tbe water bab
bling on their way to the sea, and they
beard the aea singing to Itself, singing,
alngtug.
At last they cunio to a place where
waa a long reach of pure white sand.
There sbe stood still and dropped on to
the sand oue by one the shells that she
bad gathered. Then she looked up Into
bis face wltb her beautiful eyea. 8he
aaid nothing; but she lifted one hand
ami laid it softly on his forehead. Tbe
other she laid on I: Is lieait.
With a cry of suppressed agony Wal
do sprang from the lied, flung open tbe
upper half of the door and leaned out
breathing heavily.
Great God! It might lie only a dream.
hut the pain was very real, aa though a
kuife ran through his heart, aa though
some treacherous murderer crept on
hi m In the dark! The strong man drew
hla breath like a frightened woman.
Ouly a dream, but the pain was very
real," he muttered aa be pressed bla
right hand uion bla breast Then be
folded bla anna on the door and stood
looking out Into the starlight.
Tbe dream was wltb blm still. Tbe
woman who was his friend was not
separated from him by years. Only
that very night he had seen her. IJe
looked up luto the night sky that all
bis life long had miugied Itself wltb
his existence. There were a thousand
faces that be loved looking down at
blm, a thousand stars lu their glory, In
crowns and circles and solitary gran
deur. To the man they were uot lea
dear than to the boy they had been uot
less mysterious, yet be looked up at
tbem and shuddered, at last turned
away from them wltb horror. Such
countless multitudes, stretching out
far Into space, and yet tint In oue of
them all waa she! Though he search
ed through them all. to the farthest
faintest point at light nowhere should
be ever say, "Sue la here!" Tomor
row's sun would rise and gild the
world's mountain and ahlne Into Its
thousand valleys. It would set and
tbe atari creep out again. Year after
year, century after century, tbe old
changes of nature would go on, day
and night, summer and winter, seed
time and hurveat, but lu uoue of tbem
all would she have part!
He shut the door to keep out their
hideous shining aud because the dark
was Intolerable lighted a candle and
paced the little room faster aud faster
yet He saw before him the long age
of eternity that would roll on, on, on,
and never bring her. She would exist
no more. A dark mist tilled tbe little
room.
Oil, little hand! Oh. little volcel
Oh, little form!" he cried. "Oh, little
soul that walked with mine! Oh, little
soul that looked so fearlessly down
Into the depths, do you exist no more
forever, for all time?" He cried more
bitterly: "It is for this bour-tbls that
men blind reason and crush out
thoughtl Kor this hour-this, this
Uiey barter truth-aud knowledge, take
any lie, any creed, so It does uot whis
per to tbem of the dead that they are
dead! O God, God, for a hereafter!"
Muttering to himself, Waldo walked
with bent head, tbe mist tn his eyes.
To tbe aoul's wild cry for Its own
there are many answers. He began
to think of them. Was not there one
of them all from whicb he might suck
one drop of comfort?
"Yon shall aee her again." say the
"hrlstlan. the true llible Christian.
Yes; yon shall aee her again. 'And I
aw the dead, great and small, stand
before God. And the books were open
ed, and tbe dead were Judged from
thoae things which were written in the
books. And whosoever was not found
written In tbe book of life waa caat
Into tbe lake of Ore. whlcb Is the sec
ond death.' Yea; you shall see ber
again. She died so, with ber knee un
bent with ber hand niiralsed, wltb
a prayer unnttered, tn the pride of ber
intellect and tbe strength of ter youth.
Sbe loved, and sbe was loved. But she
said no prayer to God; she cried for
no mercy; sbe repeuted of no sin I Yes;
yon shsll see ber again."
In bla bitterness Waldo laughed low.
Ah, be bad long ceased to bearken
to the hellish volcel
But yet another speaks.
"You ahall see her again," says tbe
nineteenth century Christian, deep Into
hose soul modern unbelief and
thought have crept though he know
It not He It Is w ho nses his Bible
s tbe perl fishers use their shells,
sortlug out gems from refuse. He sets
his pearla after his own fashion, and
he sets tbem well. "Do not fear," be
say. "Hell and Judgment are not
God Is love. I know that beyond this
blue iky above ns Is love aa w Ids
spreading over all. Tbe All father
will tbow ber to you again not spirit
only. Tbe little bands, tbe little feet
yon loved you shsll lie down and kiss
them If yon will. Christ arose aod did
eat and drink. So shall she arise. The
dead, all the dead, ralsi-d Incorrupti
ble! God la love. You ahall see ber
again."
It la a heavenly song this of the nlne-t-enth
century Christian. A man might
dry his tear to listen to It but for this
ue thing- Waldo muttered to blm
slf confusedly:
"The thing I loved was woman
proud and young. It bad a mother
ence. who, dying, kissed her little baby
and prayed God Ct she might ere It
gain. If It bad lived, the loved thing
would hself bave had a son, who,
when be closed the weary eye and
smoothed the wrinkled forehead of
bla mother, wonld have prayed God to
aee that old face smile agsln In tbe
hereafter. To the son heaven will be
no heaven If tbe sweet worn face I

ftf It through tbe pbalau of God

dream It not sleeping?"
Waldo paced on, moaning lu agony
and longing.
He beard the transcend -iiallat'a
bigb answer:
"Wbat bave yoo to do wltb flush,
tbe gross and miserable garment Id
which spirit hide Itself? You a hall
see ber again. But tbe band, the foot

For You to Read
What puxxled me in the beginning was that I kept losing flesh without any
cause for it that I could sea. I had a little trouble with my stomach, too, and
after a while began to grow weaker and to cough. The cough, I thought, would
soon go away and cure itself, but
it didn't It grew worse, and
then I began to spit up a pecu
liar looking substance. I never
thought of consumption, but one
day I had a hemorrhage, and then
was frightened i: earnest and
did just what yon would do. I
rushed to the doctor. .II wa
oither too busy, or omething
eNc, for ho didn't do me any good.
I kept going on down hill, and th
outlook was bad. Things took a
ditferent turn, however, when I
heard of Acker's English Remedy
for Consumption, for I took it,
and it not only cured my cough
ing and spitting, but also built up
my whole system. I took on per
manent flesh, and today am j'ist
as healthy a man a rou can find
in a week's travel. You may be
sure I always keep Acker' Eng
lish Remedy in th bouse, and it
is a good thing I do so, for on
night my youngest child was
t.eized with croup. That boars,
wheezy cough was the first sitrnal.
and I lost no time in giving the poor liltle
iiicuicinc. in almost no time the disease) was under control, ana my cniid was
saved. I advise every parent to bav a bottle handy all the time. It serves the
same purpose in keeping croup out of th house that a good lock and key serve
to keep burglars out It is both an expectorant and a tonic. It cured me of con
sumption and my child of croup, and I know what I am talking about" (Signed)
