YOURS WITH ALL MY HEART 



my gentle reproof, and feeling the earnest, 

 questioning gaze of a pair of dark eyes bent 

 upon her, she hid her face on my silky 

 breast, and held me closely to her heart; 

 and while she held me there, without ever 

 speaking a word, she told me that heart was 

 big enough for two. 



Gaylord came and stood beside her and 

 stroked my little head as I cuddled on her 

 shoulder, and, soothed and comforted, my 

 heart melted toward him, for I felt rein- 

 stated; I took him into the circle,- more 

 than that, I was his faithful little ally ever 

 after. 



I have to make this little story short, al- 

 though you may think it one of my sweetest 

 ones. From that day forth, I aided and 

 abetted that mysterious Cupid all I could, 

 though I never caught sight of him. I 

 pawed down Beulah's very prettiest songs 

 off the piano, so that the sea-breeze from 

 the wide-open door took them and spread 

 them at his feet, with her name written 

 broad in the corners. Then of course he 

 had to urge her to sing to him in her low, 

 rich voice, and she could not say him nay, 

 nor find excuse.
