RUTH MORRISON. Captain Sinclair stood at. Mrs. Mc- Grath's bright. cheerful fire, lifting . up first one foot and then another to the blaze. " You know what comfort means, Mrs. McGrath. I wonder," Said lie laughing, " you don't get sonic one to share it with you." "9, captain, for shame," rejoined the widow, smirking and looking. down. " Now, what do you say to Marks; for instance ?'' he continued, pith It quizzical sruile. Tut, nonsense, sir," she - replied half angrily. " captain speak ing of ikiarks I'm sorry Ichear of all the work they had above Yester day? 4 What work ?" returned the other' quickly. "Why sure enough, I forgot; I suppose you don't know; but there cap be no harm, tow in my speaking of what's in everybody's mouth. The first I heard Of the business was from Tom Reynolds, the policeman, him who was up at Oaklands to see into it; and Marks was just telling meal]; when we heard the car coming; but I don't know ; my mind missives me about that fellow. Tom Reynolds didn't think so. bad of her, some Captain Sinclair listened in aston ishment to thee unconnected and unintelligible fragments. " Why, in heaven's name, what is it all about?" he impatiently asked. " I know no mate than_ the man in the moon what you- are talking of. A policeman up at Oaklands—what the mischief was that about ?" "Bless us,, captain, but you take one quite aack ; you gut me inn fluster, you speak so short. Sure 'tis Miss MorriSon that stole a loV:of things, and Tom Reynolds wan up with a warrant; and they found them al in her trunk ; and so they sent her off this morning. "Mind," added the widow, correcting herself, " I don't tell you she stole the things; but them as knows best, I suppose, says . it ; and proof is proof, as Marks was just after stating; and there's how it is." " Miss Morrison stole !" repeated Captain Sinclair slowly, and opening his eyes wide in ,sheer amazement. " She as much stole as I did. And do you mean to tell me that they, sent her off from Oaklands, my poor • child ! Where did she go to Mrs. McGrath ?" he asked fiercely, stamp, ing his foot. " Lord, captain, how on earth can I tell ? They sent her to Newry this morning, that's all I khow ; buit, in de xi, Marks said," added Mrs. Mc- Grath, with that spirit of contradic tion so rife in woman, for at heart she thought Ruth innocent, " Marks said that there the things all were, in the very bottom of her box ; rings and jewelp, and I don't know what else, belonging to the mistress; and sure, that's 'plain anyhow—leastways, Marks says so." "Marks be—," returned Captain Sinclair, furiously. Now the captain was never gtven to swearing; but no question about it, he rattled out a tremendous oath then and there, that we can't by any means chronicle in these pages. "The confounded im pudence of them all!" he continued. " Policeman ransacking my house, and people sent off bag and baggage in my absence, and I knowing noth ing about it! 'Tis enough to drive one stark mad. Here give me these things;" and he seized the small box, and flinging his coat over his arm, strode out of the house, without even saying good-night to Mrs. McGrath. ' Well, if I ever !" exclaimed that dame, looking after the retreating form of the captain, as it vanished down the road. s' What a dazed woman I was to go and open my lips at all about any of their works. Had teas to them Marks, and that gov ernes's, and the whole lot. One would think 'twas I had the doing of it, so hot and, heavy did the man come down upon me !" And she slammed to the door of her establishment; with a bang, and went to wreak her wrath upon the kitchen-maid.

TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., be dashed out from the Golden Sheaf. and plunged along regardless of the mud that went splashing all over him st every step: He. muttered each. moment dire anathemas against all his household, scarcely excepting.his wife.; he gnashed his teeth, with in dignation as he thought of Mrs. Ma- Bernd, concluding at once thdt she had influenced bet mistress to act thus. rashly and- hastily: "'Tomas some hellish plot," he muttered, "concocted the moment my 'back Was turned. I'll have that Fr i e . nch harridan of - before the morning light, as sure as my name's Sinclair. That poor,'gentle little thing! • God knows what may happen to her." He rush ed open the small gate leading in from the road to his own demesne. "Stop!" said he to- himself. "It Might be well if I went round and saw this policemart i Reynolds, first, and get from him all the bearings of the case. I remember Mrs. McGrath said he didn't suspect her, or so,ne thing of .the sort. True, though the 'fellow Marks told me the front gate might be locked." And -he stood for a second or 'two irresolute, with his hand on the half-open wicket. A cold sighing wind swept over the waters of the lake, and shook the naked branches-. of the trees, and came like the ominous Whisper of im pending danger to his ear. The cap tain shivered where he stood. " What a weird sound that wind has to-night! Yes, I will see ReynoldS. Sure, I can climb the gate "' ,And he swung to the little, wicket; and again strod e" on up the road ; for the police bar rack was.at the Other Bide of, and not tir from the front avenue. On how trivial a thing do the greatest events revolve! The captain ploughed his way through mud and gloom to the police barrack; • and the lurking assassin, as he changed his uncomfort able posture-behind the old oak, won dered what- could be keeping the master so long. We must briefly retrace our steps, and return.to where we left l the hero ine of our narrative, unconscious, on the floor o!: the room in the Down- Shire:Arms at Lisburn. The'sound of her fall, as well as the previous cry, quickly brought in some of the ser vants of the hotel to poor Ruth. She was lifted gently into an easy -Atari' the window' *as thrown open; re storatives such as• smelling-Salts, water, and witiewere all succesive ly brought and applied ; but when the death-like, pallor still continued, and no sympt4s of returning anima tion appeared; the landlord and his daughter, who had both come in at the first note of alarm, began to . get extremely uneasy, apprehensive that life itself was extinct. "Where did she come from ?" "Who is . she ?" were questions whispered from one to another. " No matter who she. is," , exclaim ed the man; "we mustn't let a fel tow-creature die this way on our hands without help ;" and he bustled 'out, announcing his intentionior. go- Jag off himself for the nearest'. c tor. At the door, he metlagtgitle man who had come to the house in the morning. "A stranger lady taken very bad, sir,". he said, " in. there." pointing to the r00m..; " Don't know what's amiss. hurrying for the doctor; for I own to you, I fear she's dead." The gentleman addressed passed quickly into the apartment, to see if he• could render any assistance. They were, at the instant, wheeling the arm-chair close to -the open window, to try and get- more air 'in upon the fainting form. and so the young man entering did not at once see who it was. He went round in the rear of the frightened group that were gather ed about the sufferer; and being tall er than most of them, soon caught a glimpse of the livid countenance. As lie did so, an expression of horror and astonishment broke from his I ps. "make way. there; for .God's sake," he cried, "and don't press so close round that chair—you'll smoth. -er her."- He pushed there all wildly back, and flung himself on his knees beside the insensible figure, seizing her hand ; while with eyes fixed in tremb ling apprehension, lie gazed into her face and his own became almost as white, with the unutterable . dread that this stony sti Iness was ,death itself. He laid his finger on the' pulse, and it felt like the feeble vibra tion of a slender thread. "Quick, bring .some brandy here," he called out hoarsely ; and with a spoon, he succeeded in getting a few drops within her lips. " Ruth, my own be loved," he whispered softly ; and like an electric touch, .the low sound of that loved voice sent the flush again to the cheek, and the eyelids were lifted, and she made a faint effort to speak, although the words' were in audible. When the doctor came, he sent every one but Ferdinand—for we need scarcely say 'twas he—and -the landlord's daughter from the room, and continued giving to bran dy in small potions, which, before long, restored the lost animation. Ferdinand .continued holding her hand, and watching tearfully the ravages that anxiety and sorrow had wrought in her face, and wondering, in miserable perplexity, what had caused it all. The. doctor tried to hinder her from speaking; but im mediately after consciousness had been fully _restored, she whispered - to him, foriiiiie could _speak no louder: " I must speak at once to this gentle man; it is a matter of last impor tance." The physician accordingly withdrew. When left alone with Ferdinand, Ruth explained to him rapidly and succinctly the terrible position in which Captain, Sinclair' v as placed. It seemed as if the fainting-fit had restored something of collected calm ness to her disordered.mind ; for she could not, with greater clearness, have imparted' to the astonished young man all that was needful to know. It was only when the doubt arose as to being there in time• to re trieve the error of not having taken some precautionary measures in Newry that her mind again became confused and restless. Ferdinand, however, more uneasy than he cared to let Ruth perceive. taking out his watch, assured her that ' he had lots of n time'—that he'd have a chaise 1)•\ •) ) f (IL‘ REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER.

"I ought, ,1 see now." slid. mur mured, throwing down her feeble hands desparingly, to have hid my self somewhere about there, and m et him when be came;'but it never , once occurred to me—never once." Ferdinand, telling her again and again that all would be right, had a power that none else possessed. to impart to ber quiet. and strength. He repaired instantly to the landlord, desiring him to' have a Chaise,':and pair got, as rapidly as possible, to go first to Banbiblge, and thence: to pursue 'the Mail-car. He then calle , i his uncle, the elderly gentleman who was with him at the hotel; -and tell ing him, in few , words, exactly how matters were, brought him in, and introduced Lim to Ruth, when.the affectionate fatherly manner, and .teeder commiserating face with which the old gentleman bent over her, brought' balm to her spirit. " llncle will take care of you ' der-. ling, until I return,?' he whispered to her; "and kar nothing; trust iii One above, Who is the helper of the friendless;' and I'll be back -soon to you with good news." And so he tore himself away; for though he. scarcely dared ~ to admit it to himself, he grew sick at heart as he felt how little time was before , him, and calcu lated the distance' to lie traversed. Ruth was able to stand, leaning on old Mr. Munroe's atm, and to stniie a faint yet hope4'ul return to Ferdi nand's eager farewell, as he gazed at her from the window of the carriage. It was some time ;before quiet , Aas restored to•she Downahire Arms, so great bad been the commotion and excitement.. The Doctor returned on Ferninand's departure, and found his patient so much better that h.• contented himself with ordering her perfect rest, with some simple .nour ishruent, and desiring that she should retire very early for the night. Mr. Munroe followed litn- into the halt, and slipped the fee into his open palm. Be made s feint :of - declining, asking, in si dubious manner, who she was, and what were her circum stances. "My dear sir," responded the old gentleman, "I'm her uncle—l'm her uncle." "Oh, thank you, s;r," rejoined the doctor. "I shall call in the Morn ing." "It isn't a lie," observed Mr, Mun roe to.liimself,"as he returned to the sitting-room ; " for sure she will be my niece very shortly, please Clod; and a dear nice little thing she is too —only I hope she is-not delicate. I wouldn't like a sickly wife for Fer- It was a peaceful, pleasant even ing that Ruth passed with the kitid old man in that hotel at Lisburn'. He explained to her how he lived at. the other side. of Belfast; that his nephew had Joined him but the day before, on his return from France ; that some business of his own had brought the to Lisburn, not an hour previous to Ruth's arrival; and . Ferdinand was to have gone. on the next day to see her 4t. Captain Sin clair's. Then Ruth narrated to as she lay back in her chair, all she . had gone through at Oaklands, which so excited and irritated her listener that he had frequently to rise and walk at - a rapid pace up and down the room. " Bless my soul and body!" he gasped out; "I never heard such a thin g in all my life—l never heard such a thing. Poor creature! I won der that you are alive after it all. Let me see—l forget—if that dread ful house, Oaklands, I think yoU call it, is Down, or Armagh?"' . • "Down, I think," said-Ruth. " Oh, then they'll 13c. banged in Downpatrick. Yes; and walk, my dear young lady— Stop! I'll call you Ruth. Why shouldn't I?" " ado !":said Ruth earnestly. " Well, Ruth, I'll walk, God will ing, in my stocking-vamps, to Down patrick to see the execution ; I will, as sure as ever my name is Cecil Munroe. 'leaven g rant that erdy will be in time, and they'll be caught;" ; and he flung open the shut ters to look out. "I'd hang that Mrs. Sinclair, too, as an accessory before the filet ; . I would, upon my honor; and 'twould be a great god send to that good old soul, the cap- tain, to get quite rid of her in that war." The night was fast falling ere Fer dinand Munroe reached B7inbridge, and it was scarcely necessary to ask after' the maiVear ; it had long ` gone, as he bad feared. Some short time was necessarily spent in instituting minute,inquiries about the cross roads through the country, for both driver and traveler were ignorant of the route. Having received as ex plicit 'directions poisible, and the horses being recruited with meal and water, they set out anew. The even ing was gloomy,'And they had not proceeded' many 'piles before the road became sorrough and bad that they had to advanceislowly toAd with care, and in a few minutes came to'a dead halt." • " What is the meaning of this?" shouted out Ferdinand." *.. " Why, sir, I fear we took a wrong turn below there; for hang me if I think we can make way here at all ;" and he bent over the. horses, heads in a fruitless effort to'sce sufficiently far to judge if there was any outlet. " Heavens and 'earth !". cried Fer dinand,' hounding . from the vehicle. " What do.you mean by going astray in this manner? I tell you, 'Cis a matter of life anddeath." "Be gorra, I can't help it," an swered the poetilion sulkily. " I didn't come (town here a•purpose, and how to getout of it how," he ex claimed. "sorry one of me knows." However, blid as things seemed, by !Morally aawell as metaphorical. ly putting the shoulder to the wheel, r Ferdinand and the man Between I them succeeded in extricating chaise i and horses from their awkward posi= tion, though with considerable loss of time. The remainder ofthe drive was passed by the young man 'in a state of mind little short, of distrac tion ; he could not stay an instant quiet, and half resolved, more than once, to-leap out and run ahead, as he thought that his tingling feet would far outstrip even the rapid rate at which the carriage now roll ed along. At, length the carriage drew up so audilenly that the horses were thrown upon their haunches. and the fidgety inmate sent with vio lence against the front Window. " ilolloa! what's this ?" he called out. "Is this it?" ' Without replying; the postilion shouted, in a voice Out instantly brought Mrs. McGrath to the door: " Any on inside there?

Ferdinand had already sprung .from the carriage. " , Woman," ask ed he with i excited eagerness, " has Captain Sinclair been here yet?" t• Captain - .Sinclair !" .repeated the other in surprise. "Yes, to be sure he's been here, and in there warming himself; and is gone—no, .not three minutes since—np home, to Oak lands " " Which way did he go? For God's sake, woman, tell ni quick !" t " Oh, : just down tit road there," re turned Mrs. MeGra h, 6usiclerably startled at the abrup and fiery earn estness of her interloeptor. _ " Down this road ? he inquired, pointing with his finger. "Straight on,, i l 4 it?" " Yes, sir, yes ;" and -she added, calling out atter him as he darted forwitrds. not ,waiting for smother word , : "You go in the little ?wicket, gate at the leftl.hand side of the road, not two hundred yards before you— if it is for Oaklands you're bonne." " Yes, yes, I remember ;" and he recalled What Rtith had said to him about that side-door entrance, and the wait on by the take, gasping out as he did so: '. If it's so near, I'll never citeh him in time." "Mercies be around me!" exclaim ed Mrs?.

'tis a blessing he didn't crack my Skull • upon the road ; and iopk here," he continued, taking the light from Mrs. McGrath, and holdingi . it up to the reeking sides of the panting steeds; alai a lather of c, sweat. 'Twill be small hours of the morning afore 1 have them dhry and done." "I'll send Jim out tp help. you," said. the hostess. -" Biit when have you to be for the mad. again ? Is he going back, and how far did you come—the whole way lion" Belfast, suppose ?" "No, wini only from Lisburn._ But my 'Word for it, it'll be a good stretch of the day afore I put these poor di villa under harness again, -I can tell you, to say nothing of myself; I niv er had such a hard dhrive in all my by born dayS. What's that ?" said the man, suddenly stopping in his talk, and in the undressing opera tions that - he had resumed. " Tis a shot," cried Mrs. McGrath, nervously, pausing a moment, after they had listened to the clear, sharp ringing sound that broke upon the dull stillness of the night, with its returning echo answering back from the distant hill. " Have you poachers hereabouts ?" asked the postilion. "I don't, know; it sounded as if 4t was somewhere about Oaklands. God grant that young young man you brought isn't after mischief." " ; Not he," replied the other. "'Well, I snppose it is some of these poaching. chaps; I heard the police over there talking of them. I'll send Jim out to you now," added Mrs, McGrath, as . she turned into the house; " and I'll have something hot and comfortable for you by the time I think you'll be ready." ." Thank you, missis; 'twas never more welcome, or more needed." When Ferdinand - Munroe hurried off so quickly from the 0-olden Sheaf, he had not gotta many yards before he found himself at fault. The road . was altogether strange.; the flare of the light Mrs. 31cGrath's door was still in his eyes, and the night itself was dark ; at Beast, the thick cloud that drifted through the sky effectu ally dimmed what little light the moon in its first quarter might have sh(d. Ile had therefore to slacken his pace a little : , but keeping close to the wall on hisleft, he, soon came upon the small gate. " This is it," he said, flinging it open. and in his impatient haste, not knowing the nature or length of the walk, and careless of everything but getting up to Captain Sinclair (who, he concluded, was on before him) ere he could reach the spot where the attempt on his life was to be made, he dailied forward at full speed.. was only as he came where thri path wound away among the trees, and when a Taint gleam from the heavens disclosed to him the still sheet of wa ter almost at hisAtle, that he stopped in some _uncertainty.: " Why, this must be the very place," he said ; .but the thought bad scarcely flashed upon him, ere he heard a - slight rus tle, in the'grass on his right; nor had he well turned in that direction, when a shot was tilred, and the ball whizzed so close that it grazed his ear. Fer dinand rushed in towards the trees, and in a second he and Marks, who plunged forward as he discharged the pistol, were grappling with one another in a tierce and deadly en; counter. Ferdinand was lithe strong.and active; yet Marks, though much older, was a powerfully-built, man, and now had the strength of despera tion added to his natural vigor: At first, be fliought l it was Captain Sin clair, but he was not -more than a moment *engaged in the conflict be fore be found his mistake. No mat ter—it was now, with Uhl/ equally , a Lk 41 iwiv* CHAPTER X struggle for, life. Mark's antagOnist had, at theontset, grasped the wrist of the hand that held the 044 for he rightly imagined - that there might be yet an undischarged barrel.; and he retained his vice-like hold t in spite of the desperate efforts of the other to ais O n g a g e it. Each tried GO thrOwl his opponent, but for a considerable time without success ; the younger and slighter man had literally twined himself around the grosser forin of his foe, and half-a-dozen times or more they had wheeled round and round on the grdss and upon - the walk, panting, struggling, until at length a slip .upob the trampled sward brought them down, when both rolled heavily to the groUnds Then upon the earth the wrestling combat was continued with unabated fury, each endeavoring to get aboVe_ the other. It • is hard to know how long the silent struggle (for not a word had been uttered) might have endured, had' not Marks, by, a dex terous feint of yielding, got a Momen tary advantage; rising above Ferdi nand prostrate forth, anti .pressing willh his knees and-hill weight upon' the young man's. chest, he caused the grasp upon his6'wrist, to palliablyl re lax, and breaking the silench With the ominous wrds, • Whoever you be,•if you knoW a prayer say it now, my tine fellow,"l he' bent round the hand that was still clutched but 'fee- . bly by the unfokunate youth, so as to bring the liaitrel of the pistol di-. reedy on a line with the head that lay pressed deeply into the grass, with all its. brown curls drooping up-. On the forelvail. One low cry broke from him, a cry of intense sutleri»g s as the violent pressure up.,n the ehest was augmented. and huth's name fluttered to the lips that were parted •in gasping anguish, as he felt that all was now over for him upon earth. The finger of the assassin.was touell ing. the trigger, and Ferdinand's doom hung upon - a second, when another figure that had been forcing its way, unheard and unnoticed by the •combatants, through • trees and' branches, emerged from the grove upon the walk ; and the loud, quick, familiar voice, with its " Halloa I what's all this ?" so disconcei•ted Marks that he bounded up from his, vanquished enemy, and retreating several paces, stood, pistol in hand, gazing - upon the unlooked-for appari; thin of his master. Ferdinand, when released from the 'incubus that fur the last few seconds had nearly crushed him, sprang to his feet, and, staggering from giddiness and still impeded respiration, cried oat, -in hardly articulate words, "Seize him, seize hies, the murderous scoundrel !" making a forward movement to where the butler stood at bay. Marks, With a wild Imprecation of ‘lballleil rage, 'tired off the second barrel of the pis tol at random, and turned to flee; it . was too dark, and he was too con= fused to notice that the Jake at that spot expanded 'with a slight curve into the land ; and some long tangled grass anti weeds catelfing his feet, he plunged headlong and- 0 heavily in. While ,one ..e.rrific• ety4eaving, _the very air, r 4e from him, as the wa ters closed Over hisliescemling form Ferdinand tottered and, fell to the ground. as it happened; at the • in stant:the pistol had been fired—and 'Captain Sinclair, in the utmost con sternation, hurried to him, certain that hi had , been hit, if not shot dead. He had' no idea who it was that he was bending over,nor the remotest notion iof what had led to the strange encounter in his own grounds. Marks,l he had in the dim light recognized,' and by his firing at himself. conjec tured that it Was•murder 116 eontern s plated ; that last appalling cry, with the splash into the Water; - he had,. too, a course heird'; but all his at tention was devoted to one who, he feared, had been shot down by the assassins hands, and who he saw was a gehtleman, though he did not yet discover him to be a friend. No very long ,time elapsed, however, before Ferdinand recovered, and the captain•i had the happiness of being assured,' from his own lips, that nOthing ma terial Was the matter. He was only " giddy and bothered," he. said, " from the weight of that rutlian, who had almost done for him ;" but no ball had touched him. ,and he- aeain rose tobis feet, assisted by Captain . Sinclair. I , • " I know your voice," said the lat ter, " but I. can't see your faceeiwell enough in . this light to • recognize you." '• ~' " Ferdinand Munroe. Don't 'you remember 2" • - . "To be sure I do," and he warmly grasped his hand. " But where did that fellow go to ?" inquired Ferdinand, eagerly. " He's gone, I fear, already to his great account ;"' and they both hur ried forward to •the water's edge. The lake was still and quiet now, and st4e not of the guilty wretch whose b lay motionless in . the slime be loWl,"save by the yet uneasy swell! -With which the disturbed .element rippled againgt the sedgy margin,-as though inquiring who it might •be that had sought repose in its cold, recesses. • . "Human aid cannot reach the,mis . erable mail," said Captain;Sinclair. ." Under any circumstances' it would be impossible to extricate him in this light, and without any appliances at hand ; but, to tell you the truth, I 'lover thought about him when I saw ybd full, 'as I sepposed, from that, last shot. But tell me something of all this, for I never - was so bewilder ed.

" Indeed," responded Ferdinand, With considerable emotion, "I . should have been in anotherWorldthis mo meat, instead of talking _ hereto you.

" Accursed wretch !—the worse of the two, by far." All this time Mrs: Montserrat had; beep prowling about in a state of in describable restleastisss, listening at open - windows, slipping to the door, getting more,. uneasy.as thii - eipected time passed on, without any signal that success-,attended their' dark'de• sign.

And then came the determination to strive to 'the „utmost for her own safety; no mater what was said, to 'brave it out. WhitJthe lingering thought remained thither mistress would stand by her. She r laccordingly crept .back. to the and, remained lurking in .the. daikkto see what might turn. W hen the ring at the hall door came: she bounded as tLiOngbit were the bell tolling for - her . own execution. "What shall I do?" she exclaimed. " It might be Joshua." Again it was repeated more loudly. "It must be him—it - must be him ;" and she has tened to the -hall. with fresh hope gathering 'in her heart: When she opened the door; both the gentlemen designedly stood aside. "Is it you, .Joshua?" asked a whispering voice. " No !": -was the dread reply from her master. . . .

So say ing. he locked tile door. • The unhappy woman fell with a IoW moan to the ground, and remain ed there. looking in her misery more like - a. • beapof clothes gathered up than a human fOrna. In the lonelv darkness, the sinful past rose up 1.4- fore her terrified mind, until she ro4e wildly up, and with appalling cries importuned fer a release, and to lie putlsOmewhere.with a light,and not alone." Her master took her out with-. tut a word, and locked her into her. Own bedroom, *efusing either light or companion. The next day she was taken to DoWnpatrick jail ; and.' the morning but one subsequent to her committal was found a ss corpse in her eell—killed by. a subtle poison that she: had secreted about her person. The remains'.-were quietly interred within the precincts of the prison, after a formal inquest.

I render the change sadesivable that they:determiued to venture, notwith standing her week condition; and when, after a tedious time upon the road, they reached Oaklands, she was borne unconscious to a. room that Mrs. Sinclair had had' prepared.

It was comforting indeed to ncr to see, that whether • the wanderings' of the disordered brain, or theliteid periods" that intervened, her presence seemed , to - soothe, her absence,.however brief; to increase the sufferer's distress. One evening—the crisis, it was said,: was at hand—there came a turning hour in the treacherous disease—the hour when the very shadow' of the. . grave seems like a presence' in the sick-m(lm, and the. physicianti kit thitir patient sleeping; telling those around her that Sleep woulc:Ohther melt'sway into the last long slumber _ of all, or that she would waken up to-life once more.

Recovery was slow ; but happiness without a flair was now fully enjoyed by the convalescent.
