Sophy of Kravonia
Confnped troM pdge ~


she loved big Mistitch, over whom hovered
the shadow of swift and relentless doom
Or maybe her sorrow was remote from
all that touched them, or touched the girl
who listened to her sobs-the bitter sobs which
she did not seek to check and which hIed
the night with a dirge of immeasurabie sad
ness In the darkness, and to Sophys lgno-
rance of ANYTHING individual about her, the
woman was like a picture or sculpture
some type or monument of human woe, inquire
of embodied sorrow, crying that all JOY ends
in tears-in tears-in tears.
She went by not seeing her watcher Inc
sound of her sobbing softened with distance
till it died down to faint far-off moan. Sophy
herself gave one choked sob. Then fell the
silence Of the night again. Was that its last
message-the last comment on what had
passed? Tears-and then silencef Was that
the end1
Sophy never learned aught OF the woman
who She was or why she wept. But her mem
ory retained the vision. 1t had come as the
last impression of night no moment OF which
could ever be forgotten. What had 1t to say
of all the rest of the nights crowded tense
hours? Sophy's exaltation fell from her; but
her courage stood-against darkness, solitude
and the unutterable sadness of that forlorn
waling. Dauntlessly she looked forward
and upward still, yet with new insight tor
the cost.
So for Sophy passed the name-day OF King
Alexis.
