scene that greeted them defies des-
cription
Lying back among the pillows
of the white little bed, a seraphic
faced ba be cooed and crowed, beat
ing the air with its tiny, pink feet,
and plump, aimless arms, lovely
infant, with Lois eyes aud the
red and white face, the scarlet full
mouth of the man who held her to
his heart.
Madame sank petrifed into tha
nearest chair. Lady Celeste caught
the laughing babe, with an impas-
sionate exclamation, the man,
Ernst Won Schonstein, uttered an
agonized ejaculation, "Oh, my
love, my life, is This our child?v
The azure-veined hands began to
| tremble. Ernst and the pausy
eyes opened slowly !. ut was weary
work waiting; Is the war over ~
"Yes, darling" The strong
man put rein upon his emotion,
for there was q dreamy light in
the sweet eyes, and he feared lest
he might brighten them shut.
"They found it out that we were
married --dear--then when baby
came-they drove me-away."
"And / never Knew
cit would only have troubled
you my dearest. / sold my jewels
all but--the wedding guard

neck. And Madame knows --ah
my love, they would have turned
me out, baby and I, but that you
have come," then after little
lapse In to dreamy silence, nesting
against her husbands aching ten
der heart, Ernst, is it over?o
"My own one, yes--we Will go
home and be happy"
She smiled, driftingNin quiet
again, and the baby coed upon
the pillow, tangled its lily hands in
Celeste's ebon braidS and laughed
up into the face Of its new found
father, while the grey evening
grew greyer. Madame sat on in
petrified silence. Frederick, !" the
insonciont Prussian officer stood in
a corner ofthe room, his hat pulled
over his eyes, and Ernst Won Schon
stein watched every shadow upon
the face of his beloved with a
breathlcss suspense that racked his
soul.
At length just as sunset waned,
she opened her eyes, filiny with a
vacuity Of gaze chat blanched the
