you；　Jack；　too　well　to　mar　your　future　by　linking　it　with　my　own。

I　always　loved　you；　dear　Jack；　even　when　I　seemed　least　worthy　of

you。　　That　is　gone　now。　　But　I　had　a　dream　lately；　Jack；　a　foolish

woman's　dreamthat　you　might　find　what　I　lacked　in　HER；〃　and　she

glanced　lovingly　at　the　sleeping　girl　at　her　side；　〃that　you　might

love　her　as　you　have　loved　me。　　But　even　that　is　not　to　be；　Jack；

is　it？〃　and　she　glanced　wistfully　in　his　face。　　Jack　pressed　her

hand；　but　did　not　speak。　　After　a　few　moments'　silence；　she　again

said：　〃Perhaps　you　are　right　in　your　choice。　　She　is　a　goodhearted

girl；　Jackbut　a　little　bold。〃



And　with　this　last　flicker　of　foolish；　weak　humanity　in　her

struggling　spirit；　she　spoke　no　more。　　When　they　came　to　her　a

moment　later；　a　tiny　bird　that　had　lit　upon　her　breast　flew　away；

and　the　hand　that　they　lifted　from　Carry's　head　fell　lifeless　at

her　side。
