At last there came a great battle, and when it was over he was left lyingon the field, his blood staining my faded petals. riiey buried him there under a sentinel-like pine, and one of his comradestook the Testament from over his heart and sent it to the lonely girl. When we were handed to her, her eyes were bright with pain. No tearshad she shed ; for did not people say that her lover had been unfaithful to her ? Very quietly she opened the book, but when she saw me lying betweentwo blood-stained pages, she remembered that I had been a pledge of her loveand faith. Like a summer .shower, her tears gushed forth and fell on my stainedand faded leaves. Then she me once again, and I knew that her lover was forgiven. F. E. G. I if).
