But he had sailed for Ameiica to win fortune for his sweet children if women give their heart, and for seven long years no one had heard from him. The neighbors belleved Edward was dead. May alone refused to think so. She remained faithful to his memory and felt he would one day come back to her. It was by no means eisy for May to keep true to Exiward. She was poor and worked for a living in a doll factory. Gruff old Tackleton, owner of the factory, was in love with May. He insisted that she marry him, and pointed out that by doing so she could save her family from poverty. The tempta- tion to make her loved ones comfortable by this sacrifice was very great, In her perplexity, May ran over one day to Dot's cottage for advica Dot told her there was no chance of Edward’s return.

The etranger was Exiwerd, ap changed that none but the falry-cricket recognized him. Nor did the new» comer reveal his identity. * * ® May came again to the cottage, followed by Tackleton, who made awit | ward, grouchy love to her, Edward, overhearing the lovemaking, was furt ous To test the girl, he showed her a handful of jewels he had collected ta his travels, May was loud in her admiration of the gems. HDdward begged her to accept them. But Tackleton angrily interfered, declaring ehe should take no gifts from other men than himself. Dot had been complaining that John had to work day and night for smal wages. She now eyed the costly jewels with open envy. Edward offered her some of them. She hung back, but when he pressed them upom her she shyly accepted them. d While Dot was trying the effect of the precious stones against her face and hair, and thanking Edward for his generosity in giving them to hes, Tackleton fetched John to the spot and whispered to him that his wife was {o love with this unknown man. John went wild with jealousy. But the elfin cricket lured him to sleep, and, as John slumbered, showed him a pro- phetic vision of Dot lulling a child of theirs to rest. The dream-child was dressed like a m!niature mail-coach driver. This vision comforted John and soothed his jealous rage. * * * if It was the morning set for May’s marriage to Tackleton.
