"lIou was John Alden any better

He forgot his loss , forgot lhe black

wonder seemed to fill him.
"And : "Oll came to me ! You are not

"Why , John , " she said , in sweet expostulation -

at his side.
"YI1U must not grieve , " she said.
"You are ) 'ollng , and have much ability -

. But If John Jlen was as slow to

and In the second's flash hofore he
