Besides these are two very little girls in white with verv broad hats carrying baskets of flowers.

The bridesmaids all carried loose bouquets of spring flowers, some of daisies and others of lilacs. The bride, who-is quite tall, was in white satin, with a train, and wore a spray of orange blossoms twined in her short veil. She carried an immense bouquet of myrtle, with some of the same rich leaves in her corsage. The six ushers divided, and three went up the right aisle and three up the left the same time that the bridesmaids and the bride, leaning on her father's arm, went up the middle aisle. The groom and the ushers were all in dark cutaway coats and light trousers, with immense bouquets of white flowers in the buttonhole near the collar.

She grew impatient with herself that she could not bear the harsh winds without becoming a victim to a sough that racked her slight, painfully fragile figure so terribly that it left her weak and exhausted from its violence. Sometimes, indeed, as she lay panting and wakeful after one of these paroxysms the thought of death occurred to her.

What if she were to die and leave Jack alone in the world to battle for himself I She put the thought resolutely from her. It seemed simply impossible that God should allow such selfish shirking of her duties. She had an idea of Heaven this child who had surely 3een little of its reflection upon earth. It was a curious and original idea that she had never divulged to any one, not even to Jack. Her Heaven was a great, beautiful field, where the grass was ever fresh and green where lovely flowers, such as she saw on street corners and in shop windows, grew in luxuriant profusion and the air, always mild and gentle, was sweet with the exquisite odors of the fair blossoms and musical with the melody of birds.

No miserable, stuffy houses were there, but every one lived out of doors as we say and, oh a great throne, built high and wide of choicest flowers, sat and ruled the great king. No suffering, no hunger or thirst, no cold nor heat there disturbed anyone all was perfect joy and happiness. Often in her fitful slumbers she would dream that she was already there, and the wretched reality of actual life would be tempered for a time by the memory of her vision. The change in her appearance, gradual though it was, finally became perceptible to even Jack's obtuseness, and an incident that happened one day caused him for a while a perfect panic of fear. He was detained at his work one afternoon somewhat later than usual, and on entering the poor room which served in so many capacities he was surprised to find it dark and deserted.

He wondered greatly, for generally at this hour Jill was flashing about making her preparations for their simple evening meal. Sorely perplexed, he closed the door and moved slowly through the obscurity to light the small lamp, feeling a desire for even its friendly company. Suddenly he paused abruptly, for his feet had come into contact with a soft object lying upon the floor. Stooping to discover its identity, he became aware that it was the figure of a woman. comin alive now And, indeed, the eyes were slowly closing.
