shall see these dear features for the first
time" he said, smiling.
Emily Gale smiled back, and, although
he could not see that smile, he was aware
of Its ripple upon her cheeks as his sien-
der, sensitive fingers touched them. What
ne was not aware Of. however was the
supreme courage that was keeping the
tears out of her voice and eyes as she
replied: THAT will be happy day for
both of us. dear

moved away from her restlessly. And
yet 1 sometimes wonder If It were not
better that I should continue as I am. I
have grown so used to living in the dark
know. you were l to meet you unex-
pectedly, my own wife"
For a moment Emily did not speak.
Then she said, gently: II think you
would know me. There would be my
voice"
Your voice, yes, There is no other
voice like 1T. 1t is the most beautiful
sound in the world to me. 1t matches
your face, your SOUL" He folded his
hands on the back of a chair and leaned
there, studying some pattern in the dark
ness with his mental vision. "One thing
troubles me. 1t Is the fear that my idea
of you will suffer. I have carried that
Idea so long. 1t has been with me thirty
years, and now. perhaps. l shall be called
upon to relinquish it and conceive an
other. Do you understand, Emily? I

and his blank eyes turned as if in quest
of some object. Those roses there on

them to me as being pink roses. What
color are they?"
They are yellow-Gloire de Dion.
That is what I mean. They are still
roses and dclicately fragrant, but my
idea of them and what they actually are
differs. So l fancy it will be with your
face. Not that it will make you any less
