Far in the distance she heard the
lambs bleating, heard Endymion's voice,
low and sweet: and now, standing at
the open window she saw the newborn
sun peeping from behind the hill and
shuddered at her approaching wedding.
Would she we'd? For her life's sake
would she leave fair Endymionf
Hark! She heard footsteps on the
stone stairway. The emperor and his
son approached. Quick into the window
she sprang. Down, down, fathoms
down, the beautiful, calm lake shone like
silver in the early morn, polished by the
rising sun. How peaceful il seemed!
Behind her, nearer, nearer, the foot
steps came. Again. half breathless, she
looked far out upon the lake--to see En-
dymion gliding swiftly over the waters.
One quick thought-her last--'twas OF
Endymion. She crossed her arms on her
breast; her face so fair, so beautiful,
shone like an angels. The door opened.
The emperor and his son, seeing her in-
tent, rushed madly at her-all too latel
They leaned from the window and
Sazed below to see the waters spread to
receive her. Reckless in his anger and
pain, the youth lost his balance and
went to a watery grave.
With curse on his lips the emperor
madly mashed down the stairs, but at the
castle door stood Dame ODE, with eyes
fixed straight upon him.
Rash emperor! Wretch! A curse bo
upon thy headl Thou hast killed Cleon-
ice! Cleonice-daughter Of the gods!"
Endymion, gliding DER the lakes wide
expanse, espied floating figure clothed
in white, and as he came nearer saw
mass OF raven tresses. He arose, and
seeing that which made him doubt his
eyes, clasped his hands to his head and
cried "Cleonice!" and fell as still as
death in the boats bottom.
The little craft came to shore and thero
stood Dame O'be.
poor Endy ymion!" she cried. She took
sleeping draught from her girdle, and
saying, Better that thou should'st never
wake to grief" touched it to his lips
There he lay all through the still and
balmy night, and there he lay when tho
sun rose up from behind the hills.
A charm came over the beautiful val
ley which made the breeze more gentle
and the lake more still than ever. The
