She had patted man and wife : she hail mado them both wretched ; for, In bl-r heart of hearts, sho believed that Marian loved Paul Thorpe as truly as if he had heenagiy young man of three-find-twenty, In-tead of tline-nnd fitly. " I dare not tell the truth,' she thought. ' I dare not confess that I mjselfto.'ik the signature a ny from lite letter, and that it was written by that ne'er-(lo well brother of hers, out lu Austialla, that she never speaks of, because, poor fellow, hu foiged a check once, and had to llee the country. But I dare say It will all come light after a while-dud Marian oupht to sutler something to pay her fur laughing at me once. But even tho callous heait ot Miss Phemy le.ipproncbed her for her craft, when she saw the roses fading away from pour Mai Inn's cheeks, the elvtl city deserting her llght.giaceful figure, as day by day crept, by, and no wind or message came Irom the absent hus- uaiiu.

' I will take earn of them, doctor,' -aid Marian, simply. " I have had the dhW.se, it net don't fear It.' ' Young lady,' Mild the old physician, I you are undertaking a great care,' ' They are my husband's sisters,' salt! Marian. It is all 1 can do for htm now.'

And through long days and nights of anguish and deliiiiim she remained con stant to her charge until the balance tinned and they recuveied. ' You would both of ynu have been In our graves, under six feet of ejrth, if It hadn't beeu for this girl I" said blunt Dr. Maynard. ' She has nursed you as tenderly and faltbtully as If you were babies In her arms. Under Pro vidence you owe your lives to her 1" Miss Clailssa silently leaned forward to kiss Marian's blaneheil countenance; Euphemla only drew a sort of short, quick sob, and asked for her writing desk. ' I would not try to write Just yet,' said Marian, gently. ' Only one letter, I must,' said Miss Phemy, and Marian let her have her way, so she wrote thus. ' Deaii Buutiiek : I have, deceived you about Marian, though I swear be fore Heaven's tribunal I didn't know at the time how much mischief I was working.
