The nieht had been lone- and lonelv Marlor and strange flashes of thought had crossed his mind and made him vedy restless, This was his wedding morning nnd instead "f < >. ?nppy and yvcited, he was very weary and tired and perplexed.-?-As he-walked "Tie pondered on the ways of life and on Jean, the lovely girl who would "stranger Rosemone, whom he had met on the street. He remembered now how he had dreamed . of Rosemone for years, always believing that he would someday tind the girl of his dreams and how on the street he had seen her. Ho hi!,) Urmvrn hi*; soil! mnto moment he saw her, she had smiled and the world had changed for him. This was his wedding morning and instead of dreaming of Jean, he saw Rosemone in the light clouds floating past in the faces of the flowers that atrew the path ne-trod^he_heard- her_vcuce in_th? call of the birds to their mates and ii'is heart was heavy. Dreams play tricks with the mind and thus wide awake he walked along and dreamed of Rosemone. His reverses lead to the park and - he sat on a bench and when he look ?rt-up-iu?<rt)WB8-was standing. he.-. t'ore him. "Rosemone," he cried and grasped her hands, kissing them over and over. He believed his spirit had called her forth. When he looked into her-eyes, silent tears streamed* down her cheeks. "Truly," Marlor thought, "She is hurt,* my soul love is hurt," and then the tears ceased and she smiled. His eyes looked deep into her eyes?and he kissed .her lips. "Good bye Rosemone," he said in a dbep and muffled voice and hurried away-. He looked back and saw that she was still standing there, he thot .-he understood. '? I OCONEE COUNTY , TRAINING SCHOOL!
