Hor poor old wrinkled face looked ao

woman whom he had loved more than

For weeks he had been at hsr bed

sermons and hymns she loved so much,
while the next moment he had sat at
his desk writing couplets to tunes by
Offenbach, for he waa working on the
libretto or a musical comedy. It had
been ordered by the manager of the

Now the funeral was over. Tho

A strange 'feeling of peace had come
over him. The air was laden with the
fragrance of the hundreds of wreath*

heavy. Ills eyes were burning hot and
he wished he could cry, but could not.
The door bell rang—a timid ring. He
heard the servant open the door.
Then she came Into the room. She
was In mourning and tried to look sad,
though she was overjoyed at her new

A little old lady, with a face full of

She was desssd tn an old silk grown, a
