her head on the pillow her first sign of interest in the life coming back to her again was wonder at the intense stillness nurse moved as if shod with velvet no one spoke aloud in the room and the window that had creaked so all thru the first irritable stages of hex sickness moved back and forth without a sound As she watched it she remembered that she had wanted some one to fasten it but with the unreasonable ness of the sick she had said to her self that if they did not care enough for her comfort to sec that it worried her without being told she would never tell them Some one must have noticed it and padded it in some way for here it was moving back and forth in the same old way but without a sound How very sick I have been she thought as she glanced at the thin white hands which she felt no inclina tion to lift from the bed That must be the reason every one is so still and no one speaks to me Then she slept and awakened ate a little and slept again with the know ledge life and strength were com ing back to her but still the dreadful quiet which shut her in her She seemed to be an actor in a pan tonine that grew more oppressive I must ask the doctor how long it is necessary for me to lie here with no one to talk to I must ask him at his next visit am certainly bet ter and stronger this bright spring morning She was lying with her face turned to the creaking window which had been opened to let in the fresh air The branches of an appletree full of pink unopened buds almost filled it She thought of the chattering wrens had a nest in the branches the year before and hoped they would come back They were noisy company in the mornings but what a relief their shrill songs would be now They al ways treated me to a perfect carnival of song at daybreak no matter how badly wanted to sleep She raised herself up with a look of horror On the nearest branch she saw a bird who with open mouth was evidently singing with a perfect abandon of ecstasy And she could not hear him Tills then was the life she had come hack to and been so grateful to have The doctor who tried to com fort her told her that as her strength returned she might regain hearing in some degree but she turned away and refused to be comforted The spring days lengthened and health re turned and with it strength to en dure hut Margaret withdrew from all kindness and sympathy Why should I pretend to enjoy see ing any one or why should people with the best intentions endure trying to talk to me It is so distressing for them to shout at me and it cuts me to the heart when they laugh at my mistakes It only makes me more miserable than I am must endure living but can make no pre tence of enjoying St Hut just think wrote a friend how much worse It would have been for you if the fever had left you blind You can at least look out over the earth and enjoy its beauties You arc not without friends if you will let them love you You have a good home and do not have to go in to the world to live Think more of your blessings Margaret and do not dwell so persistently on what you have lost It does not help me to know it is worse to be blind she answered 1 pity all sufferers but forever pressing on me is this horror by night and by day that I am forever alone Every thing that moves around me moves as in a nightmare I never succeed in shaking off this feeling of unreality me alone that I may learn to bear this as best I may in solitude So one She no one to visit her There were many who pitied Iter but knew of no way to reach her and as the years passed by they forgot her even as she wished to be forgotten It was another day In early spring five years later when Margaret The minister of the church which she had attended years before smiled at her from the door and came out to write on her tablet It is a late Easter Margaret but we have more blossoms for it Will you not come in and see the We would be glad to have you at the services tomorrow The Lord has afflicted me and turned His face from me she an swered coldly I will not sing for gladness Christ is risen One year is as another with me except as it brings me nearer the time when I shall endure no longer Poor child sighed the minister j as she passed on so young and so bitter I wish I knew how best to reach her Margaret passed on down the street Near the end of it stood a house small and shabby and she remember ed that just the day before there had been a poor- little funeral from it Some one who was needed and will be missed she thought while I live on Will you come in here a little while I It was the doctor who spoke She was glad to have him speak to her He was one of the very lew people she could hear without much effort She turned in at the gate with him He led her to a babys crib in the corner of the one room I want you to take him and care for him He has no one in the wide world flow can I she protested 1 could not hear him if he cried or call ed You cannot be in earnest His lungs are sound I think you could hear him As if in proof of the doctors asser tion the baby raised its voice in a loud wail I can hear him indeed said she with a laugh I will take him a few days until you can do better for him 1 might do better for him possi bly but do not know any way of do ing better for her thought the doc tor The next morning she did not have time to think as she always did One more day to get through as best I may The baby must be washed and fed and by her own hands for with the sweet babyhood he would go to no one else She even sang to him as he nestled against her to sleep and Margarets old housekeeper smiled to herself as Oaf Toronto better BOTHA REPULSED WITH HEAVY LOSS she went about her work I will watch and help her where she cannot hear she thought hut- it is best for her to have the care of him Its most like old times to hear her singing like that again Arc you tired or him asked the doctor a few weeks later I have a chance to place him in a good home now It would break my heart to give him up she answered I do not think I lived at all before him Well I wont take him by force The world is full little ones ing help And full of grown up people reed ing to give it said Margaret softly I wish I could tell how much the baby did for her Almost before she realized it who was taking tip her life where she had dropped it Much as she loved the baby she found that love alone would not do Us little ailments were matters of vital im portance and must be discussed with some one who knew how to advise her One by one old friends who had long been shut out came hack at her call Margaret forgot deafness her sensitiveness and loneliness as hung over the babys crib She for got her old fear that people might speak to her and annoy her as she wheeled boy the sunshiny streets For the babys sake she went once more to the church where the lilies breathed out their fragrance and In time sang almost with the old Christ is risen The Lord had not forgotten me she said long afterward My life can never be what it might have been hut He has given me strength to make the best- of what is left by one her friends withdrew l land of forever left her homeand
