Gardener's Faith 



took out his watch, and looked at the sun, and 



said : — 



She never heard what he said, but she had 

 been very happy, for she knew that she had not 

 waited in vain, and that what she had always 

 known in her heart of hearts was true. . . . 



A lovely dream : but the King is still in his 

 counting-house, and the brightness fades from 

 Jane's eyes as the true knowledge in her heart is 

 crusted over once more with the knowledge of 



everyday. • 



She has gained something : she has won a 

 little of the happiness of the garden, and made it 

 her own. 



Another triumph for economy.
