ave them
both! Could he ever be thankful enough? And he forgave the poor woman in
her grave.

Zaidee chatted awhile with Aunt Kate who fancied she understood all the
thoughts of the young girl's heart. It was not strange she should be a
little jealous, but she had more gifts to attract the world with, and
the pendulum of her parents' love would swing back presently. Then the
child said good-night and went to her white bed, but the sleepiness had
gone by and she was wondering about herself.

Would she come to love this strange sister who had been thrust upon her
as it were. Truly, she did not know. If she kept the old love of them
all, the first love, no one could quite climb up to that place in their
hearts and if Marguerite could be content with the second place--that
really was hers, she would be sweet and gracious and share honors with
her.

Poor child! She did not understand what love really meant; that it was
to dole out the overplus of one's life when one was in the mood, or
withhold when one chose, was, as yet, her definition of it. What can an
overindulged child know of the grand motives it takes a life-time to
learn?

Marguerite looked out on the shining night with its tender hush, with no
wind stirring, no sound anywhere. A new life unrolled before her; an
illumination and comprehension of the past that would be builded in the
years to come. Whatsoever was lovely and of good report was to be the
foundation stones of the temple God had bidden her to rear. Would she
learn to be lovely in feature and expression from the inward light of
the soul--the lamp God had set there?

Yet the new life had brought grander duties than mere self advancement,
and Marguerite prayed that she might fulfill them faithfully.
