A Prophecy
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
Margaret and I met In Florence. We
were both of an artistic makeup, and
there is nothing wore pleasing than
the companionship of one with con
genial tastes. We sauntered through
the galleries of that artistic city and
admired the works of art together.
Then, too. there is soiuethlug unify
ing to kindred spirits in being thrown
together in a foreign couutry. Amer
ica to Americans on the other side of
the Atlantic ocean seems so far. The
customs of those countries are so dif
ferent from ours. They seem so old;
we so now. It is this that draws
Americans abroad together who would
live for years next door-to each other
aad never form an acquaintance.
These meetings between fellow coun
trymen of opposite sex frequently end
in love affairs, and such was the case I
with Margaret anil me. lint my suit
was not successful Whether this was |
due to Margaret or the Influences j
brought to bear upon her I did not
know. At any rate. I returned to my
home, leaving my heart in Florence,
and 1 realized that 1 would never get
it Ih'ick again.
On iny voyage lioxne the stateroom |
opposite me was occupied by a young I
man who had gone abroad for his
health and. having failed In his quest,
was coming bacK to die. There was j
no one on board whose business it was j
to minister to him. and the duty fell
to me. 1 became very much attached :
to him. and he seemed grateful for my '
attentions. More than that, he seemed I
to love me as a brother.
I told him of my disappointment, and j
he seemed to be regretful for me. He
tried to comfort me by telling me that
he had a feeling-deep down In his
heart that Margaret and I would meet
again and that all would be changed, j
"She loves yon," he said. "I know it
When she refused you it was contrary !
to her iucllnatlons. She will return to !
America much changed. Her circum
stanres will be different. Instead of I
refusing to listen to your suit she will !
be glad to lean upon you, happy and
relieved to be loved by you."
j He seemed so earnest, so sure, in what •
he said that I was greatly surprised.
' Could it be that to one so near death
had been imparted something of that
J knowledge of future events we are
prone to attribute to those who have
| oassed the portal of eternity? The
thought occurred, buf I did not really
believe It.
My friend lingered till wo reached
the coast Then he said that i'f be
could be spared through the brief Jour
ney that remained to him to his home
he would be content to die. I accom
panied him and spent with him the
tew days ho lived after being again un
der his own rooftree. The day he died
he was. or seemed to me to be. deliri
ous.
"1 see men marching." he said,
"hundreds, thousands, millions. They
are like fields of wheat. A mowing
machine Is passing through them, and
they are falling Just as I have seen the
grain fall in the fields of a summer
day. People are fleeing before them.
Some are peasants; some are gentle
folks; some are without a roof to cover
them; some are starving; some are
strangers in that laud and, being cut
off from home and friends, have no
one to care for them."
At this point his voice sank to mur
ruurings. mid I understood no more.
1 had left Italy eurly In the spring,
and when uiy friend died the leavea
had not yet put forth their bads. I
was busily engaged, but not so much s>
as to recover from my disappointment.
•My mind during the day constantly re
verted to she who I felt was my nat
ural mate, und the nights were dreary
without her.
Late in July there came like thunder
claps out of a clear sky declarations of
war all over Europe. Hundreds of
thousands of Americans were stranded
there. All, or nearly all, were cut off
not ouly from their homes, but from
the wherewithal to meet their necessi
ties. Naturally 1 thought of Margaret,
for I had seen no announcement of
her return. 1 would have filled my
pockets with gold and gsne to seek her
that I might supply her necessities, but
I realized that 1 would be unable to
find her and would not likely be able
to reach her if 1 knew where she was.
All I knew of her whereabouts was
that she had left Italy, for It was not
intended when I parted with her to
remain there after the spring opened.
Since I could not go to her I waited
for her to come to me Something told
me that my lost friend's words would
come true. When a steamer bringing
Americans from Europe came in I was
on the dock and watched eagerly those
who came down the gangplank. One
day I was at my post as a steamer
docked, and as she swung around to
back into the pier I caught sight of
a pale, haggard girl standing on the
deck
I rushed to the gangplank, but was
ordered away. I waited while the
throng of sufferers left the ship. My
eye was on Margaret, but she did not
see nie In the crowd on the dock. As
she stepped off the gangplank I caught
her in my arms Looking up. she rec
agnized me and r>roue into tears or joy.
