Matilda Springer went back into the
kitchen and through the little passage
way into the front room. There by the
half-curtained window, through which
the sun rays had filtered on another
September morning, long before, and
lighted the face of a man in a coffin,
she read again the telegram. Jim is

Mrs. Springer laid the telegram on the
table and went over to the old hair
cloth sofa. She sat there in the semi
darkness for nearly an hour, and when
she arose she lifted the corner of her
checked apron to her eyes and wiped
away the moisture that had gathered in
them.
A little smile of happiness, too great
even to give itself full expression
curved her trembling lips and as she
climbed the front stairs and went along
the hall to the door on the right, at the
end, she murmured to herself so softly
that the words were lost in the noise
