CHAPTER III.

Yes, Mary Gray is dead. There she
lies in her coffin. Would yon look within!
Raise the lid gently, for poor Ival Gray,
who sits crouching by the window, with
his black hair matted around his forehead,
starts every time he hears the moving of
that narrow lid. Poor Ival! He does not
heed the starlight nor the sunlight-it is
all one to him as he sits there hour after
hour. Now he bids them all 60 away and
leave him alone with the dead. He parts
away the muslin from Mary's face and
means aloud in his sorrow. Such face

waving around the brow in queenly curls
and the fringed eyelashes, resting on the
marble cheek. She smiles on. Angel

the child.

"Why did you put me down so from your
arms, papa! Don't you love me-"
"Loveyo Yes, indeed" says he, aguin
clasping her, ''the image of your lost motl-
er-the same eyes, the same hair, the same
rich voice!"
"Then put the flower in the coffin, papa"
Ival took the lily from her hand and un-
clencnipg the icy fingers, laid it on Mary'a
bosom. Then he seemed to see those
white lips parting and to hear her whisper,
dearest lvul, love Elsie when l am gone
ask her to fill my vacant place-promise
me-"
Why should she have asked it--that an.

not be comforted. He wandered to the

petted me more than ever. She toyed with
my curls and said she loved every thread
of my brown hair. do not know why
she was so sad-she that is so dolized in
her beautiful home. fear it was a fore

and pointed to the graveyard across the
park.

night was awakened from my slumbers

Poor Elsie! Still she sat hy the win

clear the air wasi how solemnly the deaf
knell foated to her ear. She counted on

window, she seemed to see Angel Mary
smiling upon her from among the clouds.
Then she heard rustling among the rose
bdshes-a tap at the door, and Ival Gray
entered the little parlor. He sat down be-
side Elsie and said in broken voice
"Dear Elsie, l have come to ask you if
you will not fill the place of the dead in my
desolate home and be mother to my little
une. ! know that you are young and hap
py, while lit sometimes seems that my
heart is wandering to the grave before its
time; but your presence would be sunlight
in my dwelling, 1t was Marv's wish as
well as my own" added he, seeing her still
hesitate,
A tear gathered in Elsie's eye as she
laid her hand on his and said, "with my
grandfather's blessing"
A few weeks from that time, there was
magnifcen bridal, Gems flashed on
Elsie's brow, and the old man smiled
through his tears as lie said, "My prayer
is answered; could not have stayed long
to comfort my bird"
So Elsie tried to fill Mary's place in that
princely home. She comforted little Mary
when she cried, she strove to infuse her
own blithe spirit into the heart of Ival.
And he tried to smile for her sake. He
was always gentle, but his heart seemed
wandering far away. She sat beside him
on Mary's grave, together they talked of
her and then only he was happy. The
grass grew on tile mound and thena a longer
one stretched beside it, covered with fresh
earth, for Elsie's grandfather had said fare.
