When the last hymn had been

She stepped through the wide
doors to a terrace that overlooked
a charming garden. The first
stars were glimmering wanly in
the sky. A light spring breeze
brought whiffs Of poeticus ornatus
from massed planting along the
borders of flower pots. A church
bell began pealing softly down in
the village. Mona shivered
little. Time was when she had
slipped her hand in her fathers
at the sound of church bells and
had trotted beside him to the old
Methodist meeting house where a
heavy voice intoned, Come unto
me. all we that labor and are
heavy laden
She wished that those old days
might return. Where could she
look for comfort now? Some
poet had wisely said, II myself

right. She knew that she had

run away, just as his father be-

The thought that he was gone,
that the last hope she had in the

was slowly crucifying Mona. Her
heart that had beat high with am

snatched up a velvet coat and
started walking rapidly down the
path toward the village.
1t was Lent and there was
service every night. She remem-
bered that someone had told her
a famous bishop would be there
for several days.
No Prayer Came
She slipped into the back seat
of the church. She closed her
eyes and longed for words with
which to pray. But no prayer
came. Her thoughts like wild
birds were circling round and
round. They darted out toward
Billy, toward the agony of the
past, toward the bleak night of
the future.

The deep. sonorous voice of the
