THE SPRING SONG
BY ALLISON GRANT.

Her four years of married life had
been free from friction, but respect
had been the strongest feeling she
had left for her husband. She shiv-
cred as she recalled that she had
married steady Justin Moore, who
was twenty years her senior, because
it seemed the only solution of all the
difficulties which piled themselves
before her when her mothers illness
was pronounced incurable. Justin
Moore had long begged for the privi-
lege of being Elinor's husband and
brother and father all in one, and al
though she told him frankly that she
did not love him as she felt she ought,
she allowed him to claim her, and
now that she was his widow she
was grateful that nothing in her
conduct toward him could have let
him know that each day of their mar
ried life was day of bondage to her.
On a springlike day in late Feb
ruary, she went out to theater where
she could see a good old-fashioned
play with a happy-ever-a eterward end
ing.
Between the third and fourth acts
the orchestra began a soft rendition
of Mendelssohns Spring Song" Eli
nor's thoughts flashed back to the
springtime day. five years before,
when she and Barry Elliott had stood
together on the pier at Old Point Com
fort watching the ships pass in and
through the evening of that day when
she had stood on the moonlit deck of
a South bound steamer and had hidden
good-by to Barry, thus bringing to an
end their acquaintance of month
while visiting at the Virginia planta-
tion of Barry's cousin Alice, Elinor's
school friend, who had married short
ly afterward and gone to India with
her engineer husband.
All the long, hard years that had

rose to show the hero and heroine

even the long hand clasp could not
fully express or suppress. She hoped
he had been happy, was happy now.

Barry. HE is with you here?"

"She never mentioned you after

Barry was placing Elnor's wrap about
her the orchestra began softly to
breathe out the Spring Song.
