pen in his ear, | remember
Then Father Dan, who was trem-

and led me TO my mothers side,
where STOPPING over her, and making
his voice very low, yet speaking as
one who was calling into long tun-
mel, he said:
my daughter My daughter! Here
is our little Mary. She has come
home to see you"
First, my mothers long lashes parted
and she looked at me with a dazed
expression as if still in a sort OF
dream Then her big eyes began to
blaze like torches in dark hollows
and then Though they had thought
her strength was gone and her voice
would never be heard AGAIN. she

out her arms to me, ana cried in
loud strong tones:
"Mally veen! Ny Mally veen."

my mother, and my mothers arms
about me l do not know. l only know
, that over my head l heard Father

| You are happy now, are you not?'

mother answered

Then came my fathers voice, say
ing:
