She was a slight young girl, not above _ ‘sixteen, with clear, delicate features and olive complexion, an abundance, of hair that ‘swept back from a full forehead like the waves of a clouded sea. She Seemed little more than a child, and yet the light that shone in her large dark eyes spoke of passion and grief and a ‘woman's woes. “T know! I know!" cried the girl; “but it 1s not of heaven I am thinking, but “of him—Pterre, the artist, who has gone and left me no word—of Pierre, whom I love better than life.” “The man was not of our world,” @aid the Sister, with some show of aeverity, “and you do wrong to think of him.” cannot help it. I to think of him.as being cruel and wicked, to hate him for what he has made me suffer, but I cannot do it, Night and day I hear only his voice. Oh, something must have happened to him, or he | Would come bac kto me."* “Such faith deserves to be rewarded, @aid the Sister, moved by the girl's sin- “ cerity, you may be right. Let us not = despair, But should he never return, there is One who never forsakes, who i» ever ready to comfort and bi The Sister's words were like @ prayer and a benediction and Marie went away feeling greatly comforted. It was morning when Marie awoke and the air was filled with the chimes ef many bells. The dream was still vivid in her mind and, tnvoluntarily she glanced at the wall where the plc- ture of the Madonna hung. The hour for morning service was epproaching and she felt a sudden de- sire to sit once more with the congrega- tion in the holy silence, to joln in the Yesponses, and to hear the music Of the familtar songs. ‘When Marie came out upon the street that bright Easter morning she found Bister Cecelia already at the door. “I came for you,” ead the Sister, simply. “I am ready, Sister Cecelia," replied Marie with equal simplicity. "I had such a beautiful dream last night, and I think—yes, I know I had already de- clded”"— “To go to church?” Fes," They were walking rapidly toward the church, As they were about to turn a corner of the street that led up to the edifice a hearty voice cried out: “Marie! Why do you run away from me?" and turning they saw Pierre hurrying to overtake them. “Pierre! Pigrre!"” murmured the girl, pale and trembling. 0), 'Plerre, that was, Jim Bradford that yots, Don't be frightened at the change, little. aweetheart.
