She stopped.
Miss line's eyes were opening, and gaz

Some one eis'i was gazing now a bent
and worn and feeble figure in the doorway,
who stood there with his dark looks rive
ted upon the group.
No one saw, him.
The girl upon her knees, the young man
stooping toward her. w ith both watching
the Hame of life flickering again in Maud's
wide opened eyes.
They stared up at the fairy little creat

with our merry thoughts for the lust time,
and life's serious grown-up work was wait

things for us. May il not lethal these,
