words that / think ] have heard him use
before when he was alive, Baas, and used
to preach to us for such a long time on sun
dav afternoons Then he asked: And how
goes il with Baas Allan, my son, Hans? TO
| which replied
.,1,bo n,as Allan is going to fight very
rrcot battle. i'm which he may well fail. and
/ If I could feel sorry here. which ! can't I
| should wccp. q reverend sir, because / have
| died before that battle began and, therefore,
| cannot stand at his side in the battle and
| he killed for him as Il servant should for
| big ,,osterr
| ".You will stand Mt his side in the bat
! tle' said your reverend father, and those
| things which YOU desire you will do, as 1t is
/ nttinp that YOU should And afterward,
| Hans vou will report to me of how the bat
| ta went and of what honor my son has
won therein.

while you live in the world you seem to
| see many other things they are but dreams,
| since i'm all the world there is but one real
| thing, and its name is Love, which, If it
| be but strong enough, the stars themselves
must obey for it is the king Of every one
| of them, and all who dwell in them Wor-
| ship It day and night under many names
| for ever guG ever Amen
"What hc meant by that I am sure !
| don't know. Baas, seeing that / have never

| her sleep ON the baby waich l loved much
better than | did.hr Eaas.
"Wcn. before / could ask him, or about

| asked.
rs the Baas tired Of the dream or would
| he like to hear the rest?"
Il should like to hear the rest SAID
in a low voice, for was strangely moved.
"WelI Baas while / was standing in that

work they would set me to there among the
