"How strange the graveyard looks by moonlight!" said Ruby suddenly.
"How ghostly!" she shuddered.

"Anne, it won't be long now before I'll be lying over there.

You and Diana and all the rest will be going about, full of life--and I'll be there--in the old graveyard--dead!" The surprise of it bewildered Anne.

For a few moments she could not speak.
"You know it's so, don't you ?" said Ruby insistently.
"Yes, I know," answered Anne in a low tone.

"Dear Ruby, I know." "Everybody knows it," said Ruby bitterly.
