CHAPTER II.

A week had gone by before Ivan re-
ceived letter from Vera. In this she
told him that her Cousin Sara was i'm
proving.
But fancy our mutual discontinue
when, within the next three days, an
other letter came to Ivan, signed by
Sara's mother, Esther, saying that Vera
had suddenly been taken seriously i'll
with the same malady that had pros
trated Sara type of fever which the
attending physician pronounced very
malignant; and 80 reduced in strength
had Vera already become that fatal re-
suits were feared.
An immediate consultation followed
and it was agreed that Ivan's duty lay
in quick visit to his wife, an obliga-
ton that insisted was his first sacred
debt. He quite readily agreed with me
and by the next train he was bound for
Pittsburg.
The weary hours dragged on. By the
second mornings post received brief
note from Uncle Ivan telling me that
poor Vera was rapidly sinking; in fact,
the family physician had given her up
Eminent medical counsel had been called
in-but their deliberation only went to
confirm the opinion Of the family's med
ical adviser.
What was my surprise and joy, how
ever, upon the third day after Ivan's de-
parture when l received q letter post
marked Stockholm! tore open the en-
velope as if expecting to disclose gem
Of the rarest worth. And, believe me, ]
did; for ] read there the name of my
dear Olefl A name sweeter to me than
all the wealth Of nations. How l priced
that letterl And to this day cling to it
as one Of the choicest jewels in my dia-
dem Of maiden lovel
"You have but just set out on your
voyage" Olef ran on, ''as begin to
write you. No doubt this will reach the
New World quite as soon as you do, for l
direct it via England But do not make
light Of my haste, my anxiety to COM
mune with you, beg. When you went
away you took my heart with you. Oh,
Cesca, why did we part? God grant
that it may not be for long. Had l but
the wings Of dove would follow you.
My soul mourns. Do not stop long
away. Do not let the glamour Of life's
new phase lead you to forget me- Sleep
in my heart as l sleep in yours. Let
your faith wake with mine in the love
jeweled morning of our meeting. .
Ever your betrothed, Olef."
He had written other words. pre-
serve them. They are too sacred for
public reading
I at once answered this letter, telling
Olef all that had happened, and went
out to post it in time to catch the first
steamer.
But had no sooner returned to the
house than messenger brought me a
dispatch. ! opened it and read three
words:

JTOfLC OF U.S.
The Thingvalla, which was expected
to arrive at the end of the following
month, would have given Olef time to
convert my securities and reach New
York.
Just eighteen days after posting my
letter received a cablegram dated at
Stockholm which told me that Olefs
father had died, and that visit to the
States would be impossible. This cable
gram bore Olef's signature, and as read
it my spirits fell beneath their load Of
sorrow. l refused all offers Of consola-
tion, and in spite of the fact that my
musical examination was to occur the
following Monday l resolved to return
home at once.
II hardly think that would lose your
opportunity to carry off first prize if l
were in your place." urged Ivan. "Be-
side, Olefs detention can be but mo-
mentary."
remarked that it was strange th1s ;.
had not received my regular weekly let
ter from him. But Ivan soon turned my
course of thoughts by saying that no
doubt Olef's duties at home had crowded
upon him SO fast that he could find no
time to write. and especially while
watching at the bedside Of a dying fa-
ther. And this argument, together with
the stimulating hope of winning the
prize, won me over.
"Bide your time, Cesca," Ivan went
on. 1.-THE next steamer may fetch good
news"
