together. The hight had gone out, and they
stood at the window in the radiance of the
moon. He had his arm about her, and was
looking dreamily at the queen of night Soft
ly he spoke:
Darling, | am thinking how happy we
will be in our home when we are married. 1t
shall be pretty home, and you shall be its
dear little mistress. We will have a little
parlor, and little dining-room, and little
kitchen for you to manage. We shall be
there all by ourselves, and we shall be happy,
my darling
''Oh, Henry" she despondently uttered,
Il thought we were going to board"
There were tears In her eyes for him to kiss
away, but he let her remove them with what
facilities she could command.
