A little heme shared by two for years a home which never knew a frown or ugly moment . is now cheeless. a little lit-tle white-haired old woman no longer smiles to those who pass her window. The door is closed in that little home up in the hills: man, woman and child miss the dear old face, which they for years have been accustomed to see smiling out a welcome from among the flowers in the window. But those who have known her and loved her realize even In the grief of separation, that she was ready to go and left us as a child goes to "sleep.
