Man and his strife and beneath him the
Earth In her green repose.
And out of the Earth he cometh, and into
the Earth he goes.
o sweet at last is the Silence, o sweet at
the warfare's close!
For out of the Silence he cometh, and into
the Silence goes.
And the great sea round him glistens, and
above him the great Night glows.
And out of the Night he cometh, and into
the Night he goes.

lace collar and soft, fine ruffles of lace
at the wrists.
"You must let me see you in it be-
fore you CO." Madam Jackson said.
AS the dress was being fastened, a
faint color stole into the woman's
white cheeks.
Isn't it pretty?" she whispered
wonderingly. THE very prettiest
thing l ever had! 1t seems wrong
somehow for me to have it now. Some.
| body young and beautiful ought to
wear it. If only l could have had it
years ago!"
Madam Jackson's left fingers were
busy with the brown hair touched
with silver, combed so severely back.

She Strengthened the lace at the
throat and settled he skirt. wait a
moment" she added, stepping into the
next room. When she returned, she
held dainty lace-trimned handker-
chief, fine as spiders web She
tucked it into the rough little hand.
"a present from me-" she said, tight
ly. when you wear tne dress you
must carry that"
Over the thin face there swept a
beautiful flush.
"Is that for me?" she said, in al awe
struck voice. "Oh thank you, thank
you!"
There was so much radiance in the
lCol that Madam Jackson was startled,
and then a wonderful thing happened.
For the moment 1t seemed as if the
years had rolled back, and the worn
face shone with it's lost beauty and it's
lost youth.
The eyes were very bright, a tender
smile hoyered over the tremulous
mouth, and Madam Jackson saw what
the woman must have been long ago,
before the hard years had robbed ner
Of her bloom.
II wish John could see me-" the lit
tie woman whispered.
AS if in answer to her wish, there
came a knock at the door. Madam
Jackson opened it quickly.
Come in, won't you?" sne said,
pleasantly. Your VIE is ANXIOUS to
have you see her in her new dress"
The man entered. When the blue
gowned, radiant vision faced him, he
started. WHY, Lotlie. he said, why
my dear, is it really your"
"Do you like it, John?" she said.
Like it. Why, you look just as
you did when we were married, only
somehow, sweeter and dearer," and
then, regardless of Madam Jackson in
the background, he took the small
woman in his arms and kissed her on
her glowing cheeks.
A few minutes later Madam Jackson
stood at the window and watched them
drive away with the blue dress care
fully wrapped up. The flush still lin
gered on the little woman's face as
she waved a last good-by.
Madam Jackson waved back. She
knew that before long the flush would
fade from her friends cheek, the
lines would come back. the cares re-
turn. The burdens must be taken up
again.
There would come, too, the weary
hours and the lonely ones that must
be lived through. The blue dress
would be folded away as something
sacred, seldom worn, but never forgot
ten. There would be something beau
t;ful at least to look at in the bare old
farmhouse.
AS the rafting wagon disappeared
Madam Jackson turned away from the
window with smile that was half q
sigh.
