CHAPTER IV.
The Last Day in Eden "'Tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore, And coming events cast their shadows before." Of course the baby was asleep and couldn't be touched; but there was some excitement, anyway.

Father had come from town with a letter from the new school teacher, that said she would expect him to meet her at the station next Saturday.

Mother thought she might as well get the room ready and let her stay at our house, because we were most convenient, and it would be the best place for her.

She said that every time, and the teacher always stayed with us.

Really it was because father and mother wanted the teacher where they could know as much as possible about what was going on.
