 creature with quite nlInous ot
 golden brown hair about her head, and an eager. delicately shaped face, which how ever. was dominated by her great eyes that nke Looking at her. might we'll believe that ii there were any ghosts about, or any spirit faces m the wind Margot would see them.
 Her friend Phoebe Somerset, was tall graeefui gir, with dreams too in her deep-brown eyes; but they were the dreams this world fulhl and the beauty of her exquisite face was the beauty ot ms "otu inc beauty of little Margots face was the beauty oi fairy or spirit the beauty of Phoebe Somerset was ne beauty of beautiful woman of this ana no o.ner planet Her brown hair was very thick ana glossy on her head but it was just beautiful human hair, ana made no strange light about her head as Margots oiu, and her regular features and creamy sn and isuenns red lips a to say concretey beauifui without heinz in the least mysterious She demonstrably beautiful as rose and her face might have seemed

 Well l don't, you know, Margot
 You pretend you dont-or. perhaps, you think you don't like lots of other people. But in your heart q wonder if do." said Phrbe musingly. Well" she added presently, "youre going to laugh at me but l certainly had quite an amusing dream last night and I can't help thinking about 1t. Iou little wise woman, shall tell what 1t means
 Well" FlGbe began, Il thought l was swim "Oh. that's a good dream" MaTgo, eagerly inter rupted swimming is great good fOrtune-any dream book will tell you that But, go on Yes, 1 swimming, and swimming with won derful and pleasure shall forget the joy ousness of it. the happy of power had l just easily bird flies, swan on and on with indescribabe elation It seemed to 1 could tire and that had only to wish swim anywhere and any distance l wanted. First remember that l swimming in river with the greenest of grassy banks and the brightest rippling water Then seemed to have come to great harbor, and was swimming in and out among the kees of enormous ships; and next l was right out to sea shall never forget how blue and fresh the water was, and how the shone, and how wonderfully lonely it was and yet how perfectly safe felt l remember the setting, and the moon rising, while still and till seemed fell asleep somewhere in that l remember waking up for moment, lazily opening one. eye, ard dreamiy seeing the above me- and feeling my body sway ing luxuriously in the heavng water. Then 1 rested ack into it again, and when next awoke. the > ad risen and there little way of an island all bite sand and palms, and swan to 1t. and presently big breaker carried me like shell and laid me upon the beach I sat up and looked around. The trees not palms. as I had thought had seen any trees quite like them. All remember of them was that they wonderfully green, and that they clustered thick with shining leaves Also they seemed filled with invisible birds which made the whole island ring with their songs. have never imagined anything so perfectly happy as the sound of those birds singing out there in the middle of the sea. There seemed to be nothing on the island but the trees and the birds Not another living thing except myself Presently stood up and. just little afraid walked over the sand up among the trees. And there streaed out from the trees fragrance of such ness that describe it than describe the singing of the birds A soft breeze blew
 like happy sigh the island and as passed among the trees the hidden birds seemed sing together like The ringing of innumerable golden chimes But still l could see no birds. and suddenly that there fruit shining under the leaves clusters of small golden fruit that glittered with an almost blinding evrhe .ber
 Phoebe stopped moment And now" she continued ''the mischievous Puck of dreams had of course to turn the whole beautiful dream into jestfor what to 5e G% think the fruit under the leaves turned out Margot couldn't guess
 Wedding rings!" answered Phoebe laughing Just plain, earthly, guinea-sod weddng-rings'
 We'll" said Margot. "Welp'
 Yes just wedding rings and t wasn', birds at all breeze playing among the wedding rings but must say" added Phoebe, laughing, q never heard such sweet music as they made; hear them yet-chim- the middle of the sea-
 Well, that's not very difficult dream to read is it? said Margot
 such nonsense l suppose It too silly for such pretty dream to end like that You must be sure never to tell anyone about it. They would say was And, aren't you, Phoebe?" asked Margot, coming closer to her friend and looking up into her face with sly innocence.

Yes dear" Margot interrupted, smiling i've all know that you could have been married over and over again and that you've had many proposals there are wedding-r rings your island. But don't you see that having rejected almost every kind of man possible your case grows the more desperate"
 Not exactly desperate, Margot-say exciting"
 Well, exciting then, and the harder it seems to find the more anxious, anyway curious, you become as to what. when he does arrive, the wonder-ran will be like"
 Yes wonder what he will be like. wonder" said Phoebe dreamily.
 Have you idea, no picture of him in your mind?"
 Not the least. l shall know him the instant set syes him, that's all; and my heart will say There he is; he has come at last"
 Suppose he were never to come ,"
 But he will l know he will come"
