thee"
"Thou art my light and that is all |
ask"
sThis is an earthly passion that will
pale before the Light OF which speak.
Farewell, now, my best loved earthly
one
Earthly one! Earthly one? do
moth understand. Thou speakest as il
there were another world-another be-
ing thou wilt love-
There is another world, and in that
world Another Being we must love and
worship; Holy One His mighty love
and sacrifice was taught me long ago;
to him gave my life once in day
agone, living sacrifice i worship Him
with all my soul, and that is why go.
But be confederation, too, shalt
come! for He hath chosen thee-and
1 shall pray that thou shalt follow
soon"
and despair passed in succession over
the young mans strong, clear-cut, sun
Drowned features.
Born and bred among the wilds of
nature his spirit was free as the winds
that swept the prairies. He had no
thought of creed or religion, save in a
legend half remembered told him by
his Indian mother.
Thou saye~t thou lowest me, and
thou knowest that l love thee. How
canst thou leave me? Thou shalt not
leave me. Thou speakest in mysteries
| do not understand. This one thing
l know-thou shalt not leave me-
"But in the land beyond the sun, in
paradise, will wait for thee"
mo; l shalt go with thee, the self
same path, over mill, through valley,
thy hand in mine and thou pointing the
way, | shall go with thee"
mot now, but thou shalt be with me
in spirit, my beloved, in the happy path
leading one to the glorious mountains.
Soon / must leave thy side; my hand
will slip from thine. Through the val
ley, of the shadow l must go alone.
NO. by the mysteries that thou
speakest, thou shalt not go alone"
zone will meet me in the valley and
take my hand, beloved, and lead me
into the light of the blessed kingdom
beyond the hills.
What! Darest thou tell me OF an
other whom thou trusteth, who wilt
take thee from my life-lead thee TO
kingdom that | do not know"
1T is our kingdom, thine and mine,
that this Holy One has prepared for
thee and me. l go first, and thou shalt
follow. and in that beauteous Paradise
of the Father we shall dwell forever"
"All is mystery-darkness, l see no
light"
.sNot now, but the Light will come.
The story shall be told again by other
Inns. Thou wilt learn the lesson. After
, my life my love shall go forward to the
heavenly Kingdom; this frail body will
be laid to rest until day appointed
when it shall rise in spiritual beauty"

From the convent gate, whence the
maiden first came to the valley of the
pines, a funeral train moved slowly
adown the mountain path to the valley
she had loved.
Tapers shone out in the shrouding
gloom, a chant was sung, prayers were
said and flowers were strewn over the
sacred dead.
Then the mourning train retraced its
way back over the hills to the convent
walls, leaving one watcher by the
grave in the silence of grief and the
night of despair.
A vine grown monastery now stands
in the Valley of Panaden, where grave
rests beneath trees of magnolia and
myrtle.
A silver toned bell echoes down
through the valley, wooing the pilgrim
to its peaceful shrine. A sun Drowned
dark eyed priest reads the prayers and
once in the year says mass for the maid

On the altar, in season, are placed
white magnolia blooms and red myrtle
blossoms, symbols of love and saeri-

Solemn pines near the walls chant a
