Z a superb equippage and gave him drive
over the city. .The city is large but it
was the shortest ride he ever had. Could
it have been otherwise with companion
entrancingly beautiful. slender as reed
1.-the as willow. restless wind blown
flower, with purple shadows in her love,
" eyes, a crown OF black hair shading
the alabaster brow, crimson mobile lips
that smiled at you with ineffablc sweet
ness. Oh: how vividly she brought
back to me my first love, a sweet girl
4 OF sixteen summers. She died and as |
left her sleeping in the cold and silent
grave, telt it was my world removed
with every sunshine blotted out--every
bright face darkened every flower with
cred-every hope extinguished-it was
my first g,ief."
