Erma believed him dead and fOrgave
him. How would il be when she found
him alive? He stood in dumb uncer-
tainty. She was his only love and to
lose her again would be more terrible
than not to have found her. Dead,
she surely loved him; her action prov
ed it. Would he not better go away
in the certainty of that love than. by
staying, perhaps revive the old bitter
ness which his return to her unframed
while all her beloved family lay dead,
might recall?
He was about to retreat 1t was too
late, the lady turned and saw him. He
stood awkwardly before her. She look

Suddenly he cried out "Erma."
She moved back a pace in surprise at
being so addressed by an apparent
stranger.
Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave
her no chance to escape. In quick,
ncoherent words he poured forth the

his sorrow for her grief, and at last an
earnest plea that she would prove more

into the lady's pale. sweet face. The
shadow that rested in the deep, blue
eyes lifted. She looked searchingly at

She had neve rthought of him save as
the soldier boy who had gone away at
her bidding. At last she seemed to
understand. For a moment the corners
Of the lovely mouth forgot to droop.
BY the light of memory the man and
woman grew young again.
When his torrent of words ceased
she stood silent for some moments and
then held out her hand as she softly
said:
