The foundation is a soft satin

From back to front of your

A FIcTIoNLEss FABLE.

a GIRL stood trembling on the
~ banks of the River Of Forgetful-
n ness She had crossed the arid
plains of Lost Illusions, and beyond
the streams lay the Mountains Of Strug-
gle.
Her body was weary, her limbs trem-
bled, her feet bled; but the light in
the Temple of Her Soul stlll burned
with feeble glow. She had retained her
right to look all men and women unfal-
tering in the eye.
Beneath she beheId the River Of For
getfulness-its waters seemed cool and
blue. But far to the right. at the head
of the stream, lay the Rapids of Des-
peration. Beyond was the Sea Of Dark
ness and Disgrace, To the left was the
sucking Whirlpool OF Death.
Before her lay an old bridge rotJing
from disuse and neglect. Its name the
girl did not know.
She struggled with herself for a few
agonized moments. Then she lifted
one bleeding foot and set it on the old
bridget twisted and bent beneath
her on the rotting timber and ached
anew as splinters pierced IT,
The girl paused and gazed almost
Iongingly at the blue waters of Forget
fulness that lay beneath. She remem-
bered the weary way she had come.
She knew that beyond lay the Noun
tains Of Struggle.
She lifted her eyes 20 the clear sky,
tottered forward another step and laid
a blistered hand on the rusted rail at
the old BRIDGES side. She went on an
other step and another. Then beneath
an aching foot she felt a bit of cool
moss. A little smile trembled across
her face, The light in her soul famed
up anew.
