But it faded almost as soon as it was born. l't ried to talk with her in a cheerful strain, and did surateed in awakening "a brief interest in the olden time.

Every day she worked to bodily ex• baustion and -usually iu pain. There was no recreation of any kind. b.odily or mental. It was a living death. No wonder she was a droving, wretched, nervous woman. Next day, I called to see my friend, having made up my mind to have a plain talk with him. 1. referred to his wife, expressing my earnest sympathy in regard to her. "‘Pooti-Mary !" be replied ; " her case is hopeless, and mine, too, I fear." - " While there's life, there's hope," said • using the physician's half-despairing axiom. .; He regarded me a little curiously.
