soft arms around my neck and kiss me, and I will show you the lovely sacred temple where our own future marriage ceremony will be performed as soon as you come home to me. Without law there is no happiness.” “O Cresto, I wish I could always stay here in your arms.” “Some day you can, pet. Your future happiness is very sacred to me, love. Here is the temple.” “O! darling, is it a real true church? What perfect Christians you must be to build such a lovely high temple to worship in?” “Darling child, there is no temple in any star, no matter how beautiful or rich that temple may be, is perfect enough to worship God in. Doll, next to my Father I love you—my own love, Doll! I hold the perfect mating of two souls. “Through blended love, to be the sum of bliss; Long as Eternity rolls. “My lovely child, my own Ruth, I will take you to my mother’s home and introduce you to her; her name is Helios, my father’s name is Rupert; my mother is a sweet little blonde. I am the perfect picture of my father. She is keeping a few jewels I have bought for you, pet. The others you may select for yourself when you come.” We soon came to a lovely, large country home, with beautiful flowers and a lawn. The side porch was covered with large black grapes. On the back porch hung dark red grapes, among yellow and white roses. On the left is a driveway, on the right is a small lake, a bath house, and a large swimming pool. We found Helios feeding the graceful pet swans and ducks on the lake. She was a pretty, dainty little woman, who led us into the house to her private rooms. Helios took out a small casket from her large cedar chest, and handed it to Cresto. He showed her a lovely diamond engagement ring,—the stone was perfect; a rope of large pearls with a brilliant ruby pendant. Cresto wound the pearls around Ruth’s small, white neck several times; a marvelous little watch, inlaid with emeralds and diamonds, Cresto’s picture was engraved inside, the watch hung on a delicate, long gold chain; there were all kinds of perfect rings, a handsome ruby bracelet, two big butterfly ruby pins, a beautiful yellow amber colored diamond necklace; at last a stately, pure gold crown inlaid with pink pearls and diamonds. “Doll, I will place the tiara on your lovely head soon as you are my bride.” Cresto took a heavily chased bottle and asked me to drink to our health, and wealth. It was a large, heavy quart-sized bottle. As soon as Cresto removed the crystal stopper it foamed like liquid air. It was full of electricity. It was sparkling and had the piquant taste of champagne. “Babe, you will drink this as a tonic here instead of hot tea and coffee. Doll, my love, please drink some more of this new ambrosia. We have different kinds of ambrosia here, dear.” “Cresto, I never tasted anything so delicious. We also have a liquid copperas that is used as a tonic. It takes a highly educated chemist to make these mineral beverages.”
