MADELINE. 133

The old chateau is the home of the little Madeline and
her mother, while Grandmamma Dumonteau has taken a new
lease on life, and lives again ber motherhood in the interest
she feels for her grandchild.

The calm stars look down on the wayside cross; the rains
beat upon it; the flowers spring around it; the grass grows at

its foot:
“ God’s in his heaven,

All’s well with the world.”
