but SO far she had not secured It..
or course her aunt laughed at her. So
did Gregory, too, for that matter, for
she had been quite q society girl and
both predicted she would be picked up
and married of before she even got
place as stenographer. I thought so
myself.
I remember it was the last day
Of '93 that I was sitting In the smoking
room, and all the others were in the
next room (which they called the
''warm room" because 1t wasn't quite
as cold as the others) when the next
mail came. Gregory brought me let

way: "Auntie, may as well tell you,
am engaged"
Then heard Mrs. Gregory get up and
60 over and kiss Maud, and as don't

stocked up the fire.

pillows rise and crowd
Across the foamy bars.
Through skies Of gray that stretch away.
Her wild hair floating free,
She comes to where her kingdom lies
BY either land or sea.
For her the dawn's pale buds Of light
Are round her pathway thrown.
As like a banner in the fight
The night is backward blown.
And dims afar the last lone star
As on her chariot goes.
While in the east the later streaks
Grow ruddy as a rose.
And fades the old years worn-out scythe
As some half-moons faint line.
And January's heralds blithe
In Icy armor shine.
While round her train the frozen rain.
That some n,isname the snow,
Has caught a million sun-slints bright
From out the sunrise glow.
And glad her face as on she speeds
Toward the rising sun.
With light of hope and noble deeds
OF faith aud duty done.
And In her eyes the swift surprise
OF all that round her waits,
Where morning, as she passes by,
Has opened wide the gates.
