AN OLD MANS DREAM
BY H. M. Egbert
o - . So

s.ss
Gerald Holmes was what the world
called a successful man. At so he
had won a place in the estimation of
his community. He was rich a wild
over Of several years standing, and
the father Of grOwn-up children. And,
like many successful men, he knew
that life had been for him a failure.
His marriage had been happy
enough. Hardly any one knew, and
none of his own children knew, the
story of his early love affair with Lii
Ian Huntley. They had been class
mates at college, they had loved each
other since they first saw each other.
They were engaged to be married as
soon as Holmes had established him
self in his profession as a scientific
engineer Often in afteTdays, when
he was called from end to end of the
great continent to achieve success at
this profession where other men had
failed, Holmes would recall how he
and Lillian had fought over those
problems together in her little room,
where she, with her trained mind,
was able to aid even him, the first in
the class at the university.
Their lives had had such prospects
of rich fruit; they were so perfectly
satisfied with each other, that
Holmes had always felt their joy was
to be snatched from them. Lillian
fought for five days against pneu-
mOnia.
Tomorrow will be the crisis, said
the doctor.
But when the crisis came Lillian
could not withstand it.
He was called to her bedside in her
last hours. The struggle for life had
ceased and her beauty, her strength,
her faculties were going out swiftly
on the ebb tide.
q want YOU to be happy. Gerald. -
