Frantically the father leaped out, staggered through the enow, calling for help and shouting for a stretche‘r. ' Remanot h se rarg. In the midst of his shouts, his wife tooted the car horn.

"Yesâ€"and he is going to have a gor:st doctor from New York see her With this ‘and Ella‘s promise to write to him Waring left her. Had there been any real understanding lln words between Marah and himâ€" self he might, even now, from a sense of duty, have gone to her faâ€" ther and proclaimed his right to a part in the care and oversight of her. But what was he? Except for that one kiss in the moonlight nothing more than the friendly acquaintance he had been for years. Marah had evidently only spoken of him to her family in the most casual way. _ e e e e esd He went back to New York look:â€"| Ing old and stern and feeling that: for him Jove was over. This disap pointment, he thought, was final, and for that reason he resolutely deter mined to put it out of his mind. Since Marah was not for him he would live, and live fully and conâ€" tentedly, without her. Retrospective suffering was weaknese in Waring‘s theories. He would have the courage to become absorbed again in his own affairs. ~His plan was a good one, but he found himeelf lacking in the egotism that would have made it possible. His love for Marah had been strongâ€" er than be had realised, perhaps, one of those passions which are vital Yet he did not allow his mind to dwell on the faint and illusive hope ‘of her recovery which her sistet had ‘memed to believe in. Mrs. Thomp son, in spite of her endeavours to be kind and reassuring, had held out mo euch promises and she, as an older and lessâ€"inexperienced woman, had probably been told more of the truth than Ella. He did not go to see Mrs. Thompson again until jJust before his departure for South Ameâ€" rica, and then his vieit was a brief one. He felt that she cared as little to talk about Marah as he did, so beâ€" yond an inquiry as to how the girl was, and the reply that she was jJust | the same and that the specialist conâ€" eulted had confirmed Dr. Langdon‘s own opinion, nothing was said about The relief in Mre. Thompson‘s mind was hardly lees great than her ‘amazement. She knew that Waring had gone to Southfield, but had never eked any of the Langdons about his visit there. How had it come about that her etory had been so plainly confirmed and accepted,â€"by what miraculous chance? For some time she had been exceedingly nervous and full of apprehension but now ehe relaxed into a state Of contented senerity.

The three women, worn out with the long strain of iliness and> worry were now facing the problem of payâ€" ing their bills. The frown between Laura‘s oyes had deepened to a furâ€" row. She looked old, yellow, and emaciated. _ « S _ Anne had also grown yery thin and the sleepless nights and harassing days of nursing showed in her sunken eyes, circled with heavy putâ€" ple shadows. Ella‘s round face had an unhealthy puffy whiteness and her eyelide seemed permanently redâ€" dened. h . . All three sisters were poorly, al most ehabbily dressed. Their shoes were out of shape and cracked in the camps, with wornâ€"down heels, their cotton dresses were faded with Inuch washing and darned in many places, and their hair seemed to have been arranged as hurriedly as poéâ€" alble, without any thought of becomâ€" Ingnees or fashion. _ Aunt Evangeline alone was uD: changed: she looked as well cared for as ever, and her fat face was placid and care free with the abstrac tion of the very old. She might have been a household fetich, sacred and cherished when everything else had fallen into neglect. â€" When Laura, after reading Mre. Thompson‘s â€" letter, displayed a cheque for a hundred dollars the tears were in her eyes. It seemed a large sum to her. _ o Emie n t e ooo "Think what this means!" she said; "we can pay the washerwoman and the grocer and the druggist and wome others. How kind Cousin Core isâ€"and she writes such a sweet letâ€" ter about Marah too! She says as soon as she is able she wants her to return to her, so that she may nurse her back to health and strength and relieve us of the care." Eoo e e e n css "I don‘t wonder she wants Marah back," observed Anne, dryly. "As far as I can judge her services are most valuable, and furnished for nothing!" "How do you meanâ€"‘for nothing‘?" exclaimed Ella. "Marah lives just as if she were Cousin Cora‘s daughâ€" ter. She doesp‘t have to buy a thing â€"not even a pair of shoesâ€"and she has every possible comfort. Surely you wouldn‘t expect her to have wages would you, from her own couâ€" sint" "I am just so lacking in family feeling," Anne replied. "But what does Marah do to earn a regular salary? I don‘t see," Ella went on. "She doesn‘t write Cousin Cora‘s letters or keep her accounts or do her housekeeping, she only galary!" "I think Ella is quite right," said Laura. "Marah has a sweet home in her own family, and she does what she can to make hereelf usefdl in it. That is the way it sceme to me. It would be ridicunlous to talk of a ealaryâ€"though a course it would be pice for Marah to have a little more money of her own to spend. I quite see that." goes about with her. You might as well say that you ought to pay me a Aune made no reply, but her mouth curved sarcastically, and her heart was sore. Marah had said a word or two in her delirium which had given her sister the slightest possible hint of her unhappiness, and of her dis tike for Mre.
