An interesting story of the sagacity

CHAPTER XII.
The End.
And now every one had gone.

And now every one had gone.
The wintry sun was already sinking
toward the west. faint purple shadows
wrapped the alleys and bosquets of the
park in dim and ghostly arms.
The last call OF a belated robin broke
the silence of the gathering dusk, then IT,
too. was silenced and only the hush
sh-sh-sh'' of fallen leaves on the graveled
path murmured a soft accompaniment to
the music of the night
A man and woman were alone beside
the marble basin. face TO face. eye to
eye, yet finding not one word to say. Both
had so much to atone for. so much to
forgive that mere words were but the
poor expression of all that filed their
hearts.
The moments sped on-a few brief Sec
onds or an eternity. who can say which?
The shadows merged. one in the other.
Far away the river murmured gently.
Now WesseX had sunk on his knees, and
she bent down TO him. All the birds had
gone TO rest: one by one, pale winter
stars peeped down upon the gorgeous
palace the aiestic pile which had seen
so many glores. hidden so many miseries:
one by one they peeped down on the silent
park the mysterious river. the ghostly
outlines of walls and cupolas.
But beside the marble basin two human
hearts had found one another. soul had
gone out to soul at last. and Ursula lay
once more in the arms OF her future lord.
