Take things always by the

When anger rises, think. Of the

How often the head figure is a

You believe that easily which

Putting one truth into circu.

There is no mystery-only mist

and tears OF age are hard tears.
Still Pride held him like a steel
band. He would extend no ges-
ture of reconciliation. no word
would he speak. But he ordered
the perpetual light as a symbol
Of his repentance.
1t was a gas light at first. Day
and night 1t burned perpetually
as a sanctuary light. But the
girl never came.
Then the wires were strung
through the old house. and. be-
fore the gas was turned out, the
electric light was turned on. For
the fathers heart, grown old now
and perhaps bit helpless,
couldn't bear the thought Of his
girl coming at an instant of dark
ness. But she never came.
The years went on and the
father died, but the light lived.
The daughter might have come
to sit in the rooms where he had
spent his life. to sit and think
and understand and forgive. But
she never came.
More years slipped along and
then the daughter died, and 1t
was too late for them to forgive
each other this side OF the Great
Divide. But the light still burns
in the old house in Baltimore.
And I am wondering II perhaps
1t hasn't brought together two
spirit hearts finally-father's and
daughters.
But. oh. the wasted years!

haven in the Pyrenees. 1t is an
odd medieval town miles away

tourists are neither desired nor

You get to the place over
mountain roads, through hairpin
