DREAM-OF-A-STAR
When Arisuga saw the face of "Hoshi-no-Yumé," some days later—and this "Dream-of-a-Star," as he at once called her, was well enough worth seeing—he said first:—
"It is not like what I thought it, angel."
Referring, of course, to the great red death, which he thought he had suffered—and what had necessarily followed.
"No," answered Hoshiko, comfortingly, remembering what the surgeon had said, that when he came out of his delirium he would probably be a bit queer.
"I suppose, after all, that the earth-heavens are much like the earth."
"Yes," from Miss Star-Dream.
