EAST INDIA FUNERAL PYRE
Irnolation of Silent Figure Whlie

Bitter Grief.

Even as we came opposite the bear

dripping, from the river and set IT,
the slim, small figure, so quiet, SO
content, on half-built pyre, c. F.
Benson writes in the Century. Brush
wood and fagots were built over it
and at the head and foot and sides
the fire was applied. A Brahman di-
rected the rites and once, as the
flames mounted and aspired, the
brother, who was watching, clutched
at his heart as there appeared for a
moment at the top Of the pyre
girls face, with closed eyes and
mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil of flame shrouded u
again. The smoke rose in gray
whorls and streamers against the
stainless and tender blue of the sky.
and still the brother watched, quiet
again and composed; he had given
only that one sign to show that he
loved her whose ashes now lay among
the charred and smoldering logs. Or
rather it was only for the moment
that, thinking Of days of childhood
and dawns by the riverside, he forgot
that it was not she who had been
consumed in the flames of the pyre.
Then he remembered again, and look

river he saw there on our boat his
friend, the Brahman. and smiled TO
