southern sunshine of a garden where I had walked on a spring morning
long ago. Love is as old-fashioned as the ocean, and us little changed
in all the centuries. Its always yielding, never retreating arms lie
about the lands that are built and carved and covered with men's
progress; it keeps the air sweet and fresh above them, and from
generation to generation its look and its depths are the same. That it
is stronger than death does not say it all. I know that it is stronger
than life. Death, with its crystal touch, may make a weak love strong;
life, with its every-day wear and tear, must make any but a strong love
weak.
I like to think that the look I saw in Richard Leigh's eyes as he turned
toward my girl was the same look I shall see, not so very many years
from now, when I close mine on this dear old world, and open them, by
the shore of the ocean of eternity, on the face of Geoffrey Meade.

_By_
MARY RAYMOND SHIPMAN ANDREWS

the Bishop, the Judge and his Guide are drawn in a fashion that attracts

rarely been excelled in fiction."--Louisville _Courier-Journal_.

and entertaining."--Baltimore _News_.
"A book of hunting stories which can be read aloud and out of doors, two
severe tests for a book."--_Independent_.
"It is difficult to recall any book that contains in it more of the
out-door spirit mingled with a really charming story-telling
capacity."--_Recreation_.
