When you shall walk in penslve mood
The happy paths we used to know,
And sweet and gentle thoughts intrude,
And tender dreams Of Long Ago,
How will your wakcned spirit bear
Its bitter pang, its bleak despair!
When in your heart. as now In mine,
Shall throb the pulse of sleepless grief
Since nothing earthly or divine
In that dark hour can bring relief
How will you mourn DER wasted bliss
And that wild moment long for this
The echo of silent word,
An exhalation of the dew,
A lonely sigh at midnight heard
In depth of some funereal yew-
These shall be mere, in that black day,
Than your true lover past away.
Then scorn no more the present hour,
Nor crush the roses while they blooml
The best of time has only power
To hang garland on tomb;
And all that lasts when years are sped
Is hopeless memory of the dead.

Stoke Moreton is fine old Elizabethan
house standing on rising ground. Aswe
drove up the straight, wide approach be-
tween two rows of ancient, fantastical-
ly clipped hollies, was impressed by the
stately dignity of the place, which was
not lessened as we drew up before great
arched doorway, and were ushered into
long hall supported by massive pillars
Of carved white stone. A roaring log fire
in the immense fireplace threw rpddy
glow over the long array of arlnor and
cleaning weapons which lined the walls,
and made the pale winter twilight out
side look bleak indeed. Charles, emerg-
ing, slim and graceful, out Of an ex-
quisite ulster, sauntered up to the fire
and asked where Sir George Danvers
was. AS he stood inside the wide fire
place, leaning against one of the pillars
which supported the towering white
stone chimney piece covered with her.

whom I addressed for the rest of the
evening as Lady Danvers, until Charles
casually mentioned that his mother was
dead, and that until the deceased wife's
sister bill was passed he did not antici-
pate that his Aunt Mary would take
upon herself the position of stepmother
to her orphaned nephews. The severe
elderly lady, then, who bealned so
sweetly upon Ralph and regarded Charles
with such manifest GOODNESS was their
aunt, Lady Mary Cunningham. She
had known Sir John slightly in her
youth. she said, as she graciously made
room for me on her sofa, and she ex-
pressed very proper degree of regret at
his sudden death, considering that he
had not been personal friend in any
way.
