stood the violet silhouette of the end

Aniston, where waited his newer life,
his newer, better work and the hope
that was the April of his dreams.
Since that tragic day in the court
room he had seen Jessica once only
in the hour when the bishops solemn

One thought had comforted him-the
town of Smoky Mountain had never

be thrown a glamour of knight errantry

white house in the aspens she would
meet only tenderness and sympathy.
And that was well.
He shut the door Of his cabin and,
whistling to his dog, climbed the steep
path where the wrinkled creeper flung
its splash of scarlet and along the trail
to the Knob, under the needed song
of the redwoods. There in the dappled
shade stood Jessica's rock statue, and
now it looked upon two mounds. The

him was the little knoll where she had

that it would be nothing but fair that
the poor be given a chance to live in

plan to help the poor and committee
has been appointed to complete the ar
rangements. Conditions in Copen-
