And for a moment they gazed wonderingly at each other. Then he spoke--almost incredulously: “Aline, have you misunderstood me? I have been trying to tell you that the doubt is over. I have rallied from my illness! Love and joy have wrought a miracle! _I shall live!_” “You--will--live?” she gasped, and stared at him, speechless. “Oh, my dear, are you so sorry? Do you regret that you gave yourself to me? Oh, I would far sooner have died than this!” cried out Oran Delaney, in a passion of despair. But she caught the hand he threw out in his frenzy of despair and pressed her lips upon it. “Ah, Heaven, how glad I am!” she cried; and he answered, wonderingly: “And you are not sorry--you do not hate me, Aline?” “No, no, I love you,” she answered, hiding her face against his hands. “I think I must have loved you long, but I did not know it until I believed you dying. Oh, I thank Heaven that it has so kindly granted my prayer!” “Your prayer, darling?” he said, gathering her in both arms tightly, as if he never meant to let her go again. She whispered, with her lips against his cheek: “I have been locked into my room all day, Oran, praying, praying, on my knees, that your life might be spared to me. And Heaven has granted my prayer. You will live for me, my husband!” THE END. “Look it up in the Dream Book.” THE MASCOT DREAM BOOK, FORTUNE-TELLER AND HOROSCOPE. WITH COMBINATION NUMBERS. Price 10 Cents. Nothing which is natural in entirely useless. Dreams must be intended for some purpose. About one third of our existence is passed in sleep; and during sleep we often dream. Why is this? Does the mind naturally and irresistibly act in a certain way, while we sleep, and this without any possible useful purpose? Certainly not. Common sense, philosophy, and history will contradict this supposition. Mankind, in all ages and countries, have agreed in believing that dreams have a spiritual origin, and, to a certain extent, a useful purpose. In this little book the interpretation of dreams is reduced to a system. If the reader can not assent to the interpretations of dreams as here set forth, at least a great deal of entertainment will be found in reading them. IN ADDITION TO THE MASCOT DREAM BOOK THIS LITTLE MANUAL ALSO CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING: Divination by Cards--To Know Whether a Woman will Have the Man She Wishes--To Know Whether a Person will be Married--Concerning Children Born on any Day in the Week--Fortunate Days, Months, and Years--To Cast Your Nativity--The Way to Get Rich, and Live Happy in the Marriage State--Curious and Instructive Information on Physiognomy, etc. The Mascot Dream Book is of pocket size, and it can be carried without inconvenience.
