Excerpt from Ingelheim, Vol. 1 of 3

To rise a happy, loved wife, with a fair little daughter, in whose eyes it was growing possible to watch for the light that had gladdened her heart in the husband's; to feel that one day this little child that was her heart's joy would surely grow to be a lovely woman; and then in a few short hours for it all to pass out of her life, - the present with its im mediate joy and the future promise of happiness alike. Not by death's calming hand; since, in her anguish and despair she had felt that even that, with its certain knowledge, would have been better than the awful doubt with which her life must always walk step by step.

And yet, when she pictured the dark eyes closed, and the baby limbs cold under restless waters, she would shrink away back to the side of the other companion who held the secret of her baby's fate.

Lost! That was the beginning and the end of all the questionings and strivings. No clue had reached her hands, no voice come back in answer to the promised reward or to the mother's prayers, to say where her little one was that evening when the sun set.
