The love-road-the rose-road

And the lilies that give all

You know every thrush that

And you know every desert
where raindrops may dwell
But the road!-oh, the love

The Joy of His Life,

"And now you are really my
own, the sun of my day, the joy
OF my life, and 1 will carry you
on my hands until l draw my
last breath"
This is what he wrote in his
diary on Easter day, just after
his engagement to Lii Guntram
his cousin.
Lill and Renate were orphans
and had been brought up by
Frau Barbara, the mother OF
Rupert, as if they had been her
own children.
They had now grown up to
girlhood, two beautiful girls of
AZ and Is. loved and admired by
all.
In character, however, they
were absolute contrasts. Rem
ate, the older, was like Martha
in the Scriptures, ever ready to
forget herself in sacrifice for
Others, while Llll, on the other
side, was merely spoiled child
petted and admired, taking it
for granted that everybody
should be pleased to do any
thing for her.
She was an exceedingly beau.
tiful girl, with light golden hair
hanging in heavy bralds far be-
low her waist, eyes as blue as
the southern sea, twinkling
with mischief from the very
minute she opened them in the
morning until they closed at
night.
While Renate was always
busy, always taken up with
managing the house or with
charity, Lii, like a beautiful
butterfly, was always nu.tering
around, frightening her sur,
rouudiugs like lay Of sunshine
through a rift of clouds, but
never having a serious thought
or aim in life.
And now Lii bad consented
to become his wife, and he wa;
so happy that it was Impossible
for him to keep it to himself

clenched her hands until the
finger nails dug deep into her
Hesh-she had loved Rupert as
long as she could remember.
But only for a few moments;
no one should ever suspect her
sorrow and despair Rupert
was happy and what better
could she wish for the man she
loved.
So Renate had the house fixed
up. Renate looked out for the
wedding dress, arranged all the
details of the wedding and with
her own hands put the wreath
of orange blossoms on her sis
ter's bead.
She remained with the young
couple, and, as if nothing had
been changed she looked after
the servants. kept all the &C
counts and even insisted on
busting off Rupert's desk, which
no one else had even been al
lowed to touch.
He depended on her in every
thing, believed in her as in
Providence itself, but he never
noticed the deep lines which
sorrow bad drawn in her kind
face or the silver threads in her
hair, while the slightest shad-
ow on Lill's brow made him un-
happy, and he kept everything
that was disagreeable away
from her. When he was
troubled or worried he came to
Renate for advice and sympathy
W Mich he was always sure to
find.
Ev-n Nature did not want the
young wife to suffer pain and
denied her children.
Rupert only wished for child
but when he thought of
the suffering which it would
mean to Lii, he felt satisfied as
it was.
Then one spring he was taken
sick and she came to his bed as
ray of sunlight, and when she
put her cool little hand on his
everish forehead his whole
S oul went out to her. But Rem.
tie nursed him night and day,
she never left him, lived only
for him.
But he grew steadily worse,
nd when the physician told
him that his sickness was con-
ia gious an expression of pain
C anne into his face. He was ST.
| ent a moment, and then said:
'Llll must no longer come
near me-"
The physician told her, she
cried a little, but did not insist
on being near her husband even
W hen it became evident that
tn ere was no hope any longer.
Renate was almost heartbrok-
en-, and still if only for a few
h ours he belonged to her, TO her
alone.
No other hand must touch
b i'm, and in his helplessness he
was like a child. He was nc
10 niger able to speak, but she
read his gratitude in his eyes
The end came. The young
wife stood crying in the garden
that he should die without
haV ing kissed her good bye,
! but her love was not strong
: enough to make her rush to his
