Mr. and Mrs. Jecks had toiled hard to have a comfortable home, and only recently had they moved into their new house fitted with modern conveniences in which Mrs. Jecks took much pride and comfort, but in the very beginning of the enjoyment of it the death messenger called her away, leaving the home desolate, with a heart-broken husband and sorrowing children. In her dying moments she looked forward to that heavenly home where partings are no more, and the thought that they will meet her there comforts her bereaved parents and husband.
