The open letter lay at her side. Btie glanced at It with soft eyes. The man wltb the languid eyelid miiHt have been strangely moved before bl band set down those wordH: "Let m come back to you! My diiiling. let me put my band round you and guard you from all the world! A my wife they aball never touch you.

"Why did you aend that money bark to me? You are cruel to me. It la not rightly done." 8he rolled the tittle red pencil aoftly between her Augers, and ber face grew very soft Yet "It cannot be," she wrote. "I thank you much for the love you have shown me, but 1 cannot listen. You willrall me mad, foolish the world would do so but I know what I need aud the kind of patB 1 must walk in.

She turned her face to the pillow. It was the sud den drowsiness of great weakness. She bad dropped asleep In a moment, and Gregory moved the desk softly and then aat In the chair watching. Hour after hour passed, but be hud no wixh for rest and aat on, hearing the rulu cease and the still night settle down everywhere At a quarter past 12 he rose aud took a last look at the bed where ahe lay sleeping so peacefully. Then be turned to go to his couch. He fore he had reached the door she had started up and was calling him back. "You are sure you have put It up." he said, wltb look of blank terror at the wludow. "It will not full open In the night, tho shutter you are sure?" lie coinf jrted iter. Yes; it was tight ly fastened. -Uvea If It Is shut," she suid lu a whisper, "yon caunot keep It out! You fuel It coming In at 4 o'clock, creeping, creeping, up, up, deadly cold!" She huddered. He thought ahe was wandering and laid ber little trembling body down among the blankets. "1 dreamed Jut now Hint It wn not pot up," she said, looklug Into bis yea, "and It crept right lu, aud I wan lone with It." "What do you fear 7" be nuked ten derly, "The gray dawn," she said, glancing round at the window. "I was never afraid of anytblag, never when 1 was A little cbllil, but I hire always been - Afraid of that. You will not let It ' come In to me?" "No, no; I will stay with you," he continued. But ahe was growing calmer. "No; you must go to bed. 1 only awoke .Wltb a start. You inu.it lie tired. I in childish; that It all." Hut she ahlvered again. lie sat down beadle her. After some time she said "Will you not rub uiy teetr He knelt down at the toot of the bed and took the tiny foot In his huud. It was swollen and unsightly now. but s bo touched It ho bcut dowu and covered It with kisses. "It makes It lietter when you kins It. Thank you! What makes you all love Die so?" Then dreamily she muttered to herself: "Not utterly bad, not ijiilTe bad. What makes them all love me or Kneeling there, rubbing softly, with bis cheek pressed against the little foot, Uregory dropped to sleep at last. How long be knelt there he could not tell, but when he started up awake he was not looking at him. The eye were fixed on the far corner, gazing Wide and Intent, wltb an unearthly light. He looked round fearfully. What did she see there God's augels runic to call her, something fearful? He aw only the purple carta In with the hadows that fell from it. Softly he whispered, asklug what she saw there. And ahe said. In a voice strangely unlike ber own: "I see the vlslou of a poor weak soul striving after good. It was not cut short, and In the end it learned, through tears and much pain, that holiness Is an Infinite compassion for others; that greatness Is to take the common thluga of life and walk truly among them; that" she moved her white hand and laid It on her fore lieart "happiness Is a great love and much serving. It was not rut short, and It loved what It bad learned-It loved and" Waa that all she saw In the corner? Uregory told the landlady the next morning that she bad been wandering II night. Yet when he came In to give ber ber breakfast she was sitting up against the pillows, looking aa he bad not seen her look before. "Put It close to me," she said, "and when I have had breakfast I am going to dress." She finished all he had brought her eagerly. "I am sitting op quite by myself." he said. "Give me his meat." And he fed the dog herself, cutting his food small for him. She moved to the aide of the bed. "Now bring the chair near and dress me. It la being In this room so long aod looking at that miserable little bit of sunshine that conies In through the hutter that Is making me so 111. Al ways that lion's paw!" she said, with a look of disgust at It. "Come and dress, me." Gregory kaelt on the floor Ih f ore her and tried o draw on one lock lug. but the little swollen fool re fused to be covered. "It Is very funny that I should have Crown so fat slave I have been HI." be aaU, pitttg Jown curiously. "'Ter fcspa It la want of nervlsc." Khe look ed troubled and said again. "Perhaps It Is waut of exercise." Khe wauted Urecury to sajr so, too, but be oy f.nn.l a larsr.r pair and then tried to force the ikh- ou, so tenderly! on to t.r l:tik- feet. "1 lure!" r!,e saliL looking down at a Uto -hey were on wltb the de lu'.'it cf a -mall child over Ita first '-I..H-H. "1 . jM walk uow. Uow alee it ixAr- "No." she said, seeing tbe soft gown he had prepared fur her; "I wtU not i:t that ou. Get one of my white .I;esss, the oue with tbe pink bows. I d not even want to think I have eu ill. It is thinking and thinking of tLiuits that makes them real." she said. "When you draw your mind together and resolve that thing shall iwt be, It gives way before you; It la not. Everything Is possible If one Is resolved." she said. She drew tn ber little l!ps together, and Gregory obeyed her. She was so small and alight now It was like dressing small dolL Ue would have lifted ber down from the bed when be bad finished, but khe pusbed bliu from ber. laughing very softly. It wus the first time the bad laughed In those long dreary mouths "No. no: I can get down myself," abe said, slipping cautiously to the floor. "You seer Hue cast defiant glance of triumnb when (be atoost there. "Hold the curtain up high. Vwant to look at myself." He raised It and stood holding It Hhe looked Into the glasa on the V posit wall such queenly little fig ure In Ita pink and white; sub a transparent little face, refined by ) terlug Into an almost angellTke beafaV ty. The face looked at ber. fell lodg ed back, laughing softly. Do, off ering wltb excitement, ran round ber, barking. Sue took one atep toward the door, balancing herself wltb out stretched bauds. "1 am nearly there," abe said. Then abe groped blindly. "Ob. 1 caunot see! I cannot see! Where am 17" she cried. When Gregory reached ber, she had fallen wltb her face against the sharp foot of tbe wurdrolie and cut ber fore bead. Very tenderly he raised the lit tle crushed heap of muslin and rlbbous and luid it ou the bed. boss climbed up and sat looking down at It. Very softly Gregory's bands disrobed ber. "You will be stronger tomorrow, and then we shall try again." he said, but she neither looked at him nor stirred. So she lay all that moruing and all that afternoon. At lust In the eveulug be bent over hor. ' "The oxen have come," he snld. "We can start tomorrow If you like. Shall I get the wagon ready tonight?" Twice he repeated bis question. Then she looked up at him. nud Gregory aaw that all boH) bad died out of tbe beau tiful eyes. It was not stupor that shone there. It was despair. "Yes; let us gp," she said. "It makes uo difference," said the doctor, "staying or going. It la close uow." Ho the next day Gregory cnrrled ber out In bis arms to tbe wagon which stood "Innpnuned" before the door. As be laid her down on the "kartel" ahe looked far out across the plain. Kor tbe first time she spoke that day. "That blue mountain far away let us stop when we get to It, not before." 8he closed her eyes again. He drew the stills down before nud behind, and the wagon rolled away slowly. Tbe landlady and the niggers stood to watch It from the "stoep." Very silently the great wagon rolled along the glass covered plain. The driver on the front box did not clap bis whip or call to his oxen, and Gregory sat beside him with folded arms. He hind them, In the closed wagon, ahe h). wltb the dog at ber feet, very uuii't. with folded hands. He (Greg ory) dared uot be In there. Like II agar .when she In Id her treasure down In the wilderness, he sat afar off. "For Hagnr said. Let ue not see tbe doath f the child." I'vciiing came, and yet the blae mntiutalu was not reached, aud all toe next day they rode on slowly, but still It was far off. Ouly at evening they reached It, not blue now, but low and brown, covered with long waving grasses and rough stones. Tbvy drew the wagou up close to ita foot for the iilKht. It was a sheltered, warm spot. The ulght was growing very old when from a long, peaceful sleep Lyu dall awoke. The candle burued at her head. The dog Iny on her feet, but lie shivered. It seemed aa thouAW a coldness struck up to him from his resting place. Hhe lay with fold ed hands, looklug upward, aud site heard the oxen chewing, aud sbe saw the two moaiiitoca buzxing drearily round and round, aud her thnugbla ber thoughts ran far back Into the past Through these mouths of anguish a mint had rested on her mind, h was rolled together now, and the old clear Intellect awoke from Its long torpor. It looked back luto tbe past. It saw the present. There was no future now The old strong soul gathered Itself to getber for the lust time. It knew where It stood. Slowly raising herself on her elbow, she took from tbe sail glass that hung pinned there. Her Angers were stiff and cold. Hhe put the pillow on her breast and stood the glasa against it Then the white face on the pillow looked Into the white fare In the glsss. They bad looked at each other ofteu so before. It had leen a child's face ouce, looking out aliove Ita blue pinafore. It had la-in a woman's face, wltb dim shadow in the eyee and a somethlug which had said: "We are not afraid, you and I. We are together. We will tight, you and I." Now toulght It bad come to this. The dying eyes on the pillow looked into the dying eyea In the glass. They knew that their hour had come. She raised one band and pressed 'lie stiff fingers against the plas. They were growing very stiff. She tried to speak to It, but she would never speak again. Ouly tbe wonder ful yearning light was In the eyea atllL The body wss dead now. but the soul, clear and unclouded, looked forth. Then slowly, without sound, the beautiful eye closed. The dead face that the glass reflected wss a thing of marvelous beauty and tranquillity. Tbe gray dawn crept In over It and aaw It lying there. Had she found what abe sought for something to worship? Had sbe ceas ed from being? Wbo shall tell us? There Is a veil of terrible mist over the face of tbe hereafter. CHAPTER XX VL riaxAH. "Tell me what soul desires, and I will tell yoa what It la." so runs the phrase. "Tell me what man dreams, and I will tell you wbat be love" That also has Ita truth. On the night when Gregory told bis story Waldo sat alone before the fire, bis ontasted supper before hint. He was weary after bis day's work, too a weary to eat. He put the plate down i oo the floor for Does, wbo licked It j clean and then went back to his corner. . After time tbe master threw himself , across tbe foot of the bed without no- : dressing sod fell asleep there. He slept so long list the caudle burned Itself out and the roon? was la darkness But be dreamed lursly dreads aa be lay Ultra. In ils dream, to his right rose high (uouDta.ru, tueir tops crowned with snow, tael sides clot !id w lib bush sud bathed In the euusb.ae. At their feet waa tbe sea ilue and breezy, bluer t&as any earthly sea. like the sea be bad dreamed of lu bis boybood. la tbe narrow forest that ran between tbe mountains and the s-a th air waa rich Wlto the scent of tue hooey creeper that bung from dark greeu bushes, and Ibrougu the velvety grass bttie streams ran puxllng dowu luto tbe sea. He aat 00 a high, njua.-e rock smoug the busbsa. and Lju.lull sat by btin and saiig to blm. She was ouly a small cuUd. wltb a blue pinafore and a grave, grave, little face. Ue was looking up at tie mountains. Then suddenly when Its looked round she was gone, lie lipped down from bis rock and went to look for ber. but he found only her little footmarks. He found them on the bright green grass and In the moist sand and there where the little streams ran purling down luto the sea. In and out. tn and out aud among the bushes where the honey creeper bung, be went looking for ber. At last far off. lu the aunsblne, b saw ber gathering shells upon the sand, be wanot a ihild now. but a woman, and the'sun shoue on her soft brown hair, and In her white dress sbe put the hells she gathered. 'She waa stooping, but when sbe beard his step she stood Up. holding ber skirt close about ber, and waited for bis coming. One hand ha put In bis, and together they walk ed on over the glittering sand and pink aeaahell, nd they heard the learea talking, and they beard tbe water bab bling on their way to the sea, and they beard the aea singing to Itself, singing, alngtug. At last they cunio to a place where waa a long reach of pure white sand. There sbe stood still and dropped on to the sand oue by one the shells that she bad gathered. Then she looked up Into bis face wltb her beautiful eyea. 8he aaid nothing; but she lifted one hand ami laid it softly on his forehead. Tbe other she laid on I: Is lieait. With a cry of suppressed agony Wal do sprang from the lied, flung open tbe upper half of the door and leaned out breathing heavily. Great God! It might lie only a dream. hut the pain was very real, aa though a kuife ran through his heart, aa though some treacherous murderer crept on hi m In the dark! The strong man drew hla breath like a frightened woman. Ouly a dream, but the pain was very real," he muttered aa be pressed bla right hand uion bla breast Then be folded bla anna on the door and stood looking out Into the starlight. Tbe dream was wltb blm still. Tbe woman who was his friend was not separated from him by years. Only that very night he had seen her. IJe looked up luto the night sky that all bis life long had miugied Itself wltb his existence. There were a thousand faces that be loved looking down at blm, a thousand stars lu their glory, In crowns and circles and solitary gran deur. To the man they were uot lea dear than to the boy they had been uot less mysterious, yet be looked up at tbem and shuddered, at last turned away from them wltb horror. Such countless multitudes, stretching out far Into space, and yet tint In oue of them all waa she! Though he search ed through them all. to the farthest faintest point at light nowhere should be ever say, "Sue la here!" Tomor row's sun would rise and gild the world's mountain and ahlne Into Its thousand valleys. It would set and tbe atari creep out again. Year after year, century after century, tbe old changes of nature would go on, day and night, summer and winter, seed time and hurveat, but lu uoue of tbem all would she have part! He shut the door to keep out their hideous shining aud because the dark was Intolerable lighted a candle and paced the little room faster aud faster yet He saw before him the long age of eternity that would roll on, on, on, and never bring her. She would exist no more. A dark mist tilled tbe little room. Oil, little hand! Oh. little volcel Oh, little form!" he cried. "Oh, little soul that walked with mine! Oh, little soul that looked so fearlessly down Into the depths, do you exist no more forever, for all time?" He cried more bitterly: "It is for this bour-tbls that men blind reason and crush out thoughtl Kor this hour-this, this Uiey barter truth-aud knowledge, take any lie, any creed, so It does uot whis per to tbem of the dead that they are dead! O God, God, for a hereafter!" Muttering to himself, Waldo walked with bent head, tbe mist tn his eyes. To tbe aoul's wild cry for Its own there are many answers. He began to think of them. Was not there one of them all from whicb he might suck one drop of comfort? "Yon shall aee her again." say the "hrlstlan. the true llible Christian. Yes; yon shall aee her again. 'And I aw the dead, great and small, stand before God. And the books were open ed, and tbe dead were Judged from thoae things which were written in the books. And whosoever was not found written In tbe book of life waa caat Into tbe lake of Ore. whlcb Is the sec ond death.' Yea; you shall see ber again. She died so, with ber knee un bent with ber hand niiralsed, wltb a prayer unnttered, tn the pride of ber intellect and tbe strength of ter youth. Sbe loved, and sbe was loved. But she said no prayer to God; she cried for no mercy; sbe repeuted of no sin I Yes; yon shsll see ber again." In bla bitterness Waldo laughed low. Ah, be bad long ceased to bearken to the hellish volcel But yet another speaks. "You ahall see her again," says tbe nineteenth century Christian, deep Into hose soul modern unbelief and thought have crept though he know It not He It Is w ho nses his Bible s tbe perl fishers use their shells, sortlug out gems from refuse. He sets his pearla after his own fashion, and he sets tbem well. "Do not fear," be say. "Hell and Judgment are not God Is love. I know that beyond this blue iky above ns Is love aa w Ids spreading over all. Tbe All father will tbow ber to you again not spirit only. Tbe little bands, tbe little feet yon loved you shsll lie down and kiss them If yon will. Christ arose aod did eat and drink. So shall she arise. The dead, all the dead, ralsi-d Incorrupti ble! God la love. You ahall see ber again." It la a heavenly song this of the nlne-t-enth century Christian. A man might dry his tear to listen to It but for this ue thing- Waldo muttered to blm slf confusedly: "The thing I loved was woman proud and young. It bad a mother ence. who, dying, kissed her little baby and prayed God Ct she might ere It gain. If It bad lived, the loved thing would hself bave had a son, who, when be closed the weary eye and smoothed the wrinkled forehead of bla mother, wonld have prayed God to aee that old face smile agsln In tbe hereafter. To the son heaven will be no heaven If tbe sweet worn face I not In one of the choirs. He will look ftf It through tbe pbalau of God glorified angels, and tbe youth will look for tbe maid, and the mother for tbe baby. Atd whose then shall abe be at the resurrection ,f tbe deud T "An. Godt Ah. Uodl A Uui.nf.. dream!" be cried. "But cau aay t, u dream It not sleeping?" Waldo paced on, moaning lu agony and longing. He beard the transcend -iiallat'a bigb answer: "Wbat bave yoo to do wltb flush, tbe gross and miserable garment Id which spirit hide Itself? You a hall see ber again. But tbe band, the foot th forehead, yon loved yea shall see no more. The loves, tie fears, the frailties, that are bora with tbe flesh, wltb the flesh aball die. Let tbem diet There la that In man that cannot die a seed, a germ, an embryo, spiritual essence.

I had a little trouble with my stomach, too, and after a while began to grow weaker and to cough. The cough, I thought, would soon go away and cure itself, but it didn't It grew worse, and then I began to spit up a pecu liar looking substance. I never thought of consumption, but one day I had a hemorrhage, and then was frightened i: earnest and did just what yon would do. I rushed to the doctor. .II wa oither too busy, or omething eNc, for ho didn't do me any good. I kept going on down hill, and th outlook was bad. Things took a ditferent turn, however, when I heard of Acker's English Remedy for Consumption, for I took it, and it not only cured my cough ing and spitting, but also built up my whole system. I took on per manent flesh, and today am j'ist as healthy a man a rou can find in a week's travel. You may be sure I always keep Acker' Eng lish Remedy in th bouse, and it is a good thing I do so, for on night my youngest child was t.eized with croup. That boars, wheezy cough was the first sitrnal. and I lost no time in giving the poor liltle iiicuicinc. in almost no time the disease) was under control, ana my cniid was saved. I advise every parent to bav a bottle handy all the time. It serves the same purpose in keeping croup out of th house that a good lock and key serve to keep burglars out It is both an expectorant and a tonic. It cured me of con sumption and my child of croup, and I know what I am talking about" (Signed) Hon. M. HouAM, picture frame manufacturer, t4i Center Street, New York.
