had not been there together before
The majorin nodded silently.
They had been walking a long time
for the first walk together since
their marriage. A week before, they
had been married in Berlin, in the
church of st. Matthew, by a friend of
Lora's uncle.
He was bound to have Tollen
anyway said Aunt Melitta to her
self, when she heard of Lora's engage
ment.
The old lady was quite nervous
and broken; she was suffering from
ungratified curiosity. How it hap
pened that Lora's first marriage was
dissolved. how it happened that
man who had fought duel for Katie
should be marrying Lora in so short
a time, was mystery to her as well
as to many others.
| The evening before, as they were
coming back from Berlin, Lora told her
husband the story of her short mar
ried life. They were sitting close
|
with her hand in his, and when she
stopped. choked by anger and sorrow,
he kissed her and said, Don't don't;
it is all over now"
And today they had gone at once
to Katie's grave, carrying a wreath to
her, a mute sign of hearty forgive
ness.

a. ri ladies, and Lora sat beside
her mother and stroked her white
hair and her thin cheeks. you
must come to see us very often,
mamma
| Eyes, child; it is my only comfort
that you are happy after ali"
A little later, they are alone in
their own cosey little home
4 Lora's little parlor is next to
Ernests study. A hanging lamp is
suspended from the ceiling. casting its
light upon the table below. "A book
lies on the table, with piece of work
beside it. A dark carpet is spread
out over the bare floor, the fire is
crackling pleasantly in the olive-green
porcelain stove, and the simple red
Icurtains are closely drawn.
They are sitting by the table, and
the young husband picks up book
it is a work on Rome-and begins to
read aloud.
DO you remember" she asks quick
ly, "how We ate our dinner together
in Commas salotto?"
All" he says, looking grave and
thoughtful, what is Rome and all it's
salons, large and small, to our West
enberg and our little homer"
She laughs out gayly. 1t is the first
time he has heard that laugh lately,
and he looks delighted. with that
smile she is his charming Lora of old.
And the rain beats against the pane,
and the wind bowls round the house
and through the branches Of the
trees, sweeping away the last of the
leaves
But what matters it? Here within
it is cosey and pleasant, for love
dwells here, and with it is happiness.

CHAPTER xxxv.

1t was autumn again: 1t was foggy
and rainy, genuine November day.
The Frau Pastorin had coffee visi-
tors in her cosey little parlor; the
Frau Majorin and Aunt Melitta Won
Tollen were sitting there in the
twilight and chatting about family
news, of course. His excellency was
expected; the old gentleman wished
to see Lora as the young Frau Doc
TORN in her new establishment.
Helen had also written that she was
very happy in her little home, and
Rudolph, at the wish of his young
wife, had exchanged into the cavalry,
The Frau Pastorin looked inpatient

about down there in the fog, and will

Impotence going to the window to
peer out into the growing darkness.
They were coming up the garden-path

fashioned umbrella.

boy brand new one of silk for a
wedding present" And her eyes
sparkled as she spoke.

the forehead.

got engaged under the old umbrella. .

ali happiness was over forever for
there was no one IN the world for her
but him, and he stood on the other
eide of Katie's grave, and that quiet,
green mound was raised between
them-an insup ~rable obstacle. She
was so deep in thought that she did
not hear Commas voice in the cor

4 moment later he was standing be-
fore her, tall and stately, in his
simple gray travelling costume, and
the sunlight that streamed through
the whole room played about his
brown hair and made the eyes that
were gazing at her more brilliant
than usual.

drawing up chair. with you allow
me to rest? for the walk has tired

mating. How happens it that you are

She sat opposite him, surprised and
confused.

her name, which he had hitherto

Yes she said frankly. go" And
she drew a long breath,
only a few words more, Lora. Who

to let the past be forgotten.
She looked at him with anger in
her eyes. His speech sounded fool
ish TO her. AS if one could blot out
the past from ones memory at a
word,

sounded bitter rather than ironical,
why should we bring up all that
You told me long ago that you had
forgotten, though you did not say it
in words" And she remembered
how she had received the announce
ment of his engagement here on this
very spot.

Let us drop the subject she said
shortly.

He obeyed. and was silent.

He 0beyed, and was silent.
She sprang UP and went hastily
across to the fireplace, in which the
last Goals were glimmering. She
poked at them aimlessly with the
tongs, and took up the little bellows
without using them. At last she
came back, and standing before him
in the brilliant sunshine, which
showed him so plainly the fine lines
that grief had made in her face, she
said gently:
I'VE will not quarrel about the old
story. it would do no good: and | am
ready to accept your proposition-let
us be friends. We have each given
pain to the other, only with this diff
ference, that l was not my own mis-
tress, that I nearly died in-but we
will not speak of that, only do not try
TO comfort me with fictions that | do
not believe. Leave the dead her

| not knew, then, that you were forced
into your marriage; and, deeply in
jured by your desertion, | rushed
headlong-ah, don't ask me about it,.
We'll, then, let us be friends" she
said, ignoring his words.
Eyes good friends he repeated,
and sad smile fitted over his face,
unseen by her..
And then they sat together and
talked Of matters that were very re-
mote from their thoughts. and as
they talked their eyes met constantly
| with searching, inquiring look, as If
| they were looking for single ray OF
that happiness which had once shone
for them. 1t is SO yer quiet up here
| that nothing disturbed them in the
questions and answers that at first
came quickly, and then more and
| more slowly.
The general seemed, today, to have
forgotten the dinner hour Comma
tripping about on uptoe, had noise
lessly laid the table and brought in
| the soup.
Lora asked Ernest in a few hasty
| words to stay. They sat opposite each
other like a young married couple at
their first dinner; possibly the com
parison may have suggested itself to
both. For one moment her eyes met
| his, full of all the old faithful affec-
ton; then she suddenly turned away
her head, and two great tears ran
| down her face.
They did not speak much more dur
ing the little meal.
ITO our good friendship" he said
| once, touching his glass to hers.
Then he asked If she would not go to
walk, and as she assented he conduct
ed her, leaning on his arm, through
the streets of Rome, and she thought
how she had once dreamed of wan
dering here like this with him, and
that it had now come to pass, and
yet how differently,
1t was dusk when he left her at her
own door. Goodnight, Lora, and
thank you," he said
She started at the familiar tone.
Goodnight" she replied.
@Auf wiedersehen?" he asked.
Yes
Tomorrow
Yes
Upstairs her uncle was waiting and
grumbling at her absence.
by Jove, child, you have stayed
out long enough"

FLORAL WELCOME

A number of large stone vases filled
with growing plants in bloom have been
placed just over the edge Of the grass
plot in City Hall Park.

For number OF years II has been the
custom TO extend floral welcome to So
cieties holding conventions here.
The present welcome is for the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union Of America. which
will hold its national convention here next
week
Boston's Public Garden has long been
famous for Its flowers and plants; but
II has been a question whether the ar
rangement and selection In Providence
parks has not been more original.
The plants used here are more old
fashioned and familiar: and perhaps this
engenders the home feeling and makes
Providence's public floral exhibits more
attractive.
