The Bouquet Of

liz recovered nc found himself q pris-
orr or war at Heidelberg, where
poor Russian family filled with en-
thusiasm for France asked the special
favor OF Offering him home.
With the same firmness of mind
they had enabled him 20 live through
the saddest days of his life. he now
bore his physical suffering without u
groan. and no sooner had his wounds
healed than he surprised his host and
his family by his constant radiant
humor.
One day. however. the burden o.
he returned TO his room to hide his
sorrow. which the world must never
know.
II was the anniversary of the
death of his wife.
He was standing at the window
looking into the foreign landscape.
where everything was covered with
n layer OF snow in spite OF tho
Spring. and he felt his eyes fill with
tears at the thought of the loss OF
his wife, and the misfortunes of his
beloved France.
Before his minds eye he saw this
white silent shroud enveloping the
heart OF France, and stopping ITS
very heartbeats, but his greatest sor-
row was that his beloved wife to-day
did not get the bouquet of heather
|,
anniversary throughout the ten years
that had passed since she died.
This bouquet of heather was like a
breath of his youth, full of sentiment
and poetry.
The first time he had met Ellano
she was carrying n bouquet of heath
er in her hand. and when they parted
she had given him sprlg of the pink
flowers as n symbol of a love born at
first sight. This sprig Of heather had
never left him since, on the battle
field or here in his prison days.
The idea that Eliane was not TO
get her heather this year was moro
than his strong htart could stand, and
he burst out sobbing like n child and
buried his face i'm his hands.
Poor Chauteclair!
The sorrow he felt was so violent
that for while 1t robbed him of his
senses and his mind began to wander.
Eliane approached him slowly, with
noisclcss step, silent as a shadow, her
face was as he had seen 1t last. she
was smiling and there was an express
sion OF quiet happiness in her won
dcrful blue eyes. while her golden
hair enveloped her whole figure like
radiant mantle.
She came SO close to him that at
last he felt her warm breath In his
face, and suddenly she raised veil
she was wearing and handed him

The vision was so strong, so life

dream with q cry.
On the table in front of him lay a
bouquet of heather, the pink flowers
covered with snow, and in the door
way stood Eve. the youngest daugn-
ter of the family, little girl OF six,
embarr Sssed and sad She had want
cd to surprise him with the flowers
and he had scared her so dreadfully.
The captain stood Mt the window
with tho bouquet of heather In his
hand, and feeling came to him that

sary OF their death come back with
flowers to those who are prevented
from placing flowers on their grave.
