Evidently his senses had not yet quite come hack. 'Mother, mother,' he murmured. 'I can't find grandfatlier-atid it's so cold. I'm so--' ; Ilia fioad dropped ou her shoulder, aud hi ryes clswd again. One of hi ltatnU, which, up to thin moment, had hee.u tiglit lv shut, opened weakly, a tiuto full to the floor. Mrs, Somers did not .m tho note. Some thing in the boy's look had startled Iter; she give a quick glance up at her master ; then she began to tremble all over.
