THE LUCK OF EDEN HALL"

THE LUCK OF EDEN HALL"
''FLIGHT THE FIRST"
A noble house was Eden Hall, typi-
cal southern home, with wide galleries and
spacious rooms, its crowning feature Il
magnificent hall, from which it took its
name. A veritable Eden had it proved to
Mr.. William E. Claiming" and his San
ia Filomena," as he called his fair wife
Elizabeth" who was indeed "A noble
type of good Heroic Womanhood"
Here they dwelt most happily with their
daughter 'Evangelne" until three years
before my story opens, when The Celes-
tial Pilot" entered The Open Window"
of The Terrestrial Paradise" through
which shone The Evening Star" and
bending tenderly over the sleeping Eliza
beth. whispered to her that The Good
Shepherd had summoned her to THE
Happiest Land" The Warning" came
not to husband and child watching the
Sleep of their dear one, for The Foot
steps of Angels make no sound, nor did
they realize that the sleeper was listening
to The Song of the Silent Land
Suddenly the sweet eyes opened, the
faint voice whispered words like unto
The Image of God" and while the watch
ers bent to catch the whispered words, the
pure spirit took its flight, and The good
part that shall not be taken away had
been given to Elizabeth.
'Tis needless to dwell upon the sorrow
of the bereaved husband and daughter
each strove to conceal their grief that they
might give 'Consolation" to the other so
they learned "Resignation.
After awhile Il "Gleam of Sunshine"
came to brighten The Rainy Day of their
lives. "Sandalphon," the Angel of Pray
er," said ITO the Driving Cloud of sor-
row, avaunt, and let the Love and Friend
ship left these two sing again to them the
Hymn of happiness. Not forgotten was
The Dead lying in The Grave" in
Gods Acre" a beautiful grove of oaks a
short distance from the house, which had
been the family burying ground for gem
erations. \ most beautiful spot it was,
with its magnificent trees and carefully
tended turf. Here were many tokens of
The Reaper and the Flowers" and here
the birds greeted the 'Daybreak. and sang
their Hymn to the Night"
There were rustic seats and Il table un-
der the largest of the trees, and here
Evangcline spent many happy hours with
her favorite authors, ''Chaucer,' Milton "
shakespeare, Dante Keats" and
"Hawthorne Here in The Twilight"
she would give rein to all the fantasies
of imagination, and people anew this rem
