At Ills there was a partial recovery

wife, while the husband waited in an
agony Of suspense without. ~
Suddenly, with a shiver Of fear,
Theodota found herself a spirit again.
And, freed from the bonds of human
love, she Ionged to flee back to her
place in heaven and rest among the
happy spirits there.
But because it is given to mortals,
when love is omnipotent, to make
their cries heard to the, happy souls
and to the souls to hear them, TheO-
dota, about to fly away, paused as
she heard the agOnized words Of the
young mothers prayer:

Theodota, watching that human

She did not know that what is called

but all her desires to be away van

stricken mother, nesting against her
and trying with all her power to COM
fort her.
Perhaps she did comfort her, for

but Theodota felt the girls heart con-
tract with disappointment. The soul
of the girl knew that the young man
was not to be her mate, but the girl
knew nothing of this.
And TheOdOta, lowering by the
young girl, began to feel the hail beat
ing on her again; the lightning
flashed and the thunder pealed.

you are as jealous as this before mar

TheOdota understood nothing of
what was being said, but her delicate
wings were drenched with the rain,
and, seeing a warmer, SUMMER place
a little distance away, she darted in
stinctively toward it.
And now ensued a period of for
getfulness. Theodota had lost all
memory of the joys of heaven, for
the human love that embodied her
seemed sweeter than anything that
had happened to her before. Dimly
she seemed to be aware of her i'm
