the sheaf was hung from the raft

Years Soften Sorrow

The sure years reveal the deep
remedial force that underlies all
sorrowful facts. Crushing losses,
which at the time seemed nothing
but privation, later assume a diff
ferent aspect. The breaking up of
an occupation or home allows the
formation of others more friendly
to the true growth of character,
constrains the reception of new in
fluences, hitherto untasted; and he

he said.
She made light of his mishap, nev-
ertheless, thereafter they did more
often seek places where they could go
unrecognized. She began to realize that
to commit herself to his charge was in
fact to court mishap. For example n
afternoon he proposed an expedition.

when Mrs. Pennifond discovered them
and recognized Bret. She called down
to him from the balcony above, called
his name, and Bret turned to look up
toward her.
In doing so he jostled a vase which
stood upon a low pedestal and Linda,
though she tried, was not quick enough
to catch it. 1t fell and shattered on the
floor.
Bret stood pale with horror. He
stared at the vase. He looked hopeless
ly at Linda. And old Mrs. Pennifond,
above them, called irascibly:
Bret, you come here to mel"
There were curious folk quick to
cluster around, but they gave way be-

stairs and assembled, guiltily as chill

she had a moment before emerged,

Linda colored with a quick, loyal
anger. but before she could speak Bret
said, why. I want to pay for the vase,

she said. "of course I know Bret's glad
