and the life." These words would never have

hurried to her husbands bedside. He
was breathing evenly, and on the floor

woman murmured and turned to the
window where the tree was and her lit
tie boy was sitting motionless. Softly,
on tiptoes, with the basket full Of ap-
pies and nuts, the herzlebkuchen in her
hand, she stepped behind the child's
chair. But what was that? Was the
moon shining with extraordinary bright
