with a profound sigh, 'I am always so

Dolce is not looking like her happy

rings beneath them, suggestive of teen
and wakeful nights, bat she u always in

are strangely blind.

And then Dube lies d'.wu on the soft

in the soft cool arses --and Harold does
not love her—does not love her--strenee
she cannot cry—how dim the stars are
growing and the was to have been his

She is not at but but she cannot think
for the noise the thaader makes. She
is tired - -so tired. The lightening blinds
her eyes. Always without Harold now.
Can that be for her to bear. Never
again to watch for him. Never again to
hear his dear voice. 'Ah, cries
the tortured girl heart, 'I bear

She raises herself in her drenched
clothes to her knees, and clasps the rot

The fertility and the richnese of the val-

to our day it has been described as fruit•
fel anti beautiful. Connolly, who saw it
in 1831, 'eye, "I can engine nothing

dam, on the Heti Rud, sends its waters
all over the valley, sod by this means
the fields produce abundantly , the tear -
dens are watered, w that all kinds of
vegetables and fruit are plentifuL Met -
ons, peaches, plums, apricots, and the
grape in many varietis, are elf grown in
great profeaioa. With such productive
wealth Herat baa been oetebtated for its
public buildings. It had pekoes sad
royal gardens sr pleasure grounds, splen-
did mosques, colleges, and its tombs ere
masterpieces of art, Science and art
were cokivated, so that the city was eel -
