vange 1 me A CROWD of eager people under the oak awaiting the boat coming slowly down the rippling river. And on the boat the heart of Evangeline (Evangeline Labiche) beat high with thrilled expectation of the meeting under the spreading oak tree where the barge would slowly land. For under this oak in St. Martins¬ ville, Louisana, romances before had been spun, loves reillum¬ ined, hearts gladdened, tragedies changed, and lover had met lover; long exiles from Arcadia had found happiness in the find¬ ing of an old friend, a brother, a sister, a wife or a sweetheart. Three years Evangeline and her foster-mother had braved the wilderness to at last embark on the barge which would bring them to this trading post in Louisana. They had been told that under this oak one would surely meet one s loved ones, and who knows, perhaps Gabriel (Louis Arceneaux). The boat landed. Evangeline gave a cry of supreme happi¬ ness and ran and threw herself into the arms of a young man standing back from the crowd. But he pushed her away. She stood silent, looking at him; and then a tear stole down her cheek. He was engaged to another. And she turned . . . wearily . . . thinking of the sunny days they had had together in Arcadia and bright dreams of a small cottage and bright flowers. A month passed, and a pale exquisite girl came to the gentle oak. She cried silently, seemingly gathered strength from the oak, and reverently crossed herself. And in five more months the sweet strained face of the beautiful girl under the oak had a spiritual glance of one who has caught a glimpse of a sweeter world after having passed through the tortures of earth. In the evening after the last visit to the oak, just as the low bells of the mission were ringing, Evangeline left this world, an exquisite flower gone.
