Dream
By ELLA SAUNDERS

Their dream had come true at lust.
John and Eleanor looked at e'ach other
with startled eyes, ns if unable to lie-

an apartment, modest, but In quite a
nice district—they had their country
cottage. • > ■''r
The cottage .they hud always
dreamed of. It was John who bad
found it. It was a little, old-fashioned^
place with about half an acre of gar-
imrhedrately withhvTbe commuting region,
yet untouched by modernity* There
was not even a bathroom when they
rented it. John had had that put in.
Tlie whole tiling had been a surprise
to Eleanor.
She stood among the hollyhocks
with shining eyes. “It seems too good
to lie true,” site said. "The dearest
place! John, won’t we he happy!”
They were. Eleanor revelled In her
garden. John mowed the lawn in the
evenings. They had no cares, no one
to bother them. In tl\e evenings Elea

frequently happened, went through his
