She looked at him in silence with
lips just parted. For her life she could

at break of day from Strelsau."
"Whither?" she murmured.
ITO Paradise said he. But the
dream ends. If it did not end" He

Aye, swiftly side by side. they two

filled with that golden dream, and she
entered her home as though it had

it, For her true home seemed now
rather in the cottage of the dream,
and she moved unfamiliarly through
the pomp that had been hers from
birth. Her soul was gone from it, while
her body rested there; and life stopped
for her till she saw him again by the
banks Of the river
''In five days now I go" said he; and
he smiled at her. She hid her face in
her hands. Still he smiled; but sud
