lage pond.
Half dead she lies upon the dirty
cot in the almshouse, and through
her tortured mindthe happenings of
her short life pass in blurred and
distorted procession. Left in the
darkness by Sister Martha, a charity
nurse, Hannele, in her delirum, first
sees bending over her the terrible
form of her father, cursing and
threatening her. She scréams aloud
in her fright and crawling from the
bed falls weakly on the stone tiling
in her efforts to escape the brute.
Gottwald, her kind schoolmaster, and
the nurse lay her gently on the cof!
again and she is left-alone.-
The child’s brain takes à new turn,
and sitting beside her she sees her
mother and is awed by her beauty.
She entreats her mother to stay, and
cries alond as the shrouded figuret
disappears again into vacancy. Then
in turn, to the sound of music, Han¬
nele sees long lines of inging an¬
Fgels, and the kindt schoolmaster
Gottwald in her dream takes on the
form of Christ.
Through-her visionsthe village tail¬
or comes with a beautiful robe in
which she is to lie in her coffin, for
now Hannele is dreaming of-that
death she sought in the millpond.
