But when Guy told her where they were going, and why they were going there, the tears came at once into her eyes, and hiding her face in Guy’s lap, she sobbed bitterly. “ I did like her so much that day," she said, “ and she looked so sorry, too. It's terrible to d ie ¡" Then she plied Guy with questions con cerning Maddy’s probable future. “ Would she go to heaven, sure?" and when Guy answered at random, "Yes,” she asked, “ How did he know? Had he heard that Maddy was that kind of good which lets folks in heaven? Because, Brother Guy,” and the little preacher nestled -closely to the young man, fingering his coat buttons as she talked, "because. Brother Guy, folks can be good—-that is, not do naugh ty things— and still God won’ t love them unless they— I don’t know what, I wish I did.” Guy drew her nearer to him, but to that childish yearning for knowledge he could not respond, so be said: “ Who taught you all this, little one? — not your mother, surely.” “ No, not mamma, but Miriam, tbe waiting maid we left in Boston. She told me about It, and tanght me to pray different from mamma. Do you pray, Brother Guy?” The question startled the yoong man, who was glad his coachman spoke to him just then, asking if he should drive through Devonshire village, or go direct to Honedale by a shorte rroute. They would go to the village, Guy said, hoping that thus the doctor might be per suaded to accompany them. They found the doctor at home and willing to go with them. Indeed, so unnerved had he become listening for the first stroke of the bell which was to herald the death he deemed so sure, that he was on the point o f mounting his horse and galloping off alone, when Guy’s Invitation came. It was five miles from Devonshire to Hone- dale, and when they reached a hill which lay half way between, they stopped for a few minutes to rest the tired horses. 8uddtnly, as they sat waiting, a sharp, ringing sound fell on their ears, and grasping Guy’s knee, the doctor said, “ I told you so; Madeline Clyde is dead.” ) It was the village bell, and its twice three strokes betokened that it tolled for somebody youthful, somebody young, like Maddy Clyde. Jessie wept silently, but there were no tears in the eyes of the young men. as with beating hearts they sat listening to the slow, solemn sounds which came echoing up tbe hill. There a pause; the sexton's dirgelike task done, and now it only remained for him to strike the age, and tell how many years the departed one had numbered. r “ One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.” Jessie counted it aloud, while every stroke fell like a heavy blow upon the hearts of the young men, who a few weeks ago knew not that such as Maddy Clyde had ever had exist ence. How long It seemed before another Stroke, and Guy was beginning to hope they’d heard the last, when again the #Ull. muffled sound came floating on tb* air. and D f. Holbrook's black, bearded tip half quivered as he now counted aloud, T0ne. two, three, four, five.” / 'Th at was a ll; there it stopped; and tain were all their listenings to catch an other sote. Fifteen years, and only fif teen had passed over the form now for- *ver still. . “ She was fifteen," Guy whispered, re membering distinctly to have beard that ■umber from Maddy herself. “ I thought they told me fourteen, bnt o f course it’s she,” the doctor rejoined. “ Poor child. I would have given much to have saved her.” Jessie did not talk; only once, when she asked Guy, if it was very far to heaven, and if he supposed Maddy had got there by this time. “ W e’ll go just the same,” said Guy. “ I w ill do what I can for the old man;” and so the carriage drove on. down tbe kill, across the meadow land, and past a low-roofed bouse whose walls inclosed the Stiffened form of him for whom the bell had tolled, the boy, fifteen years of age, who had been the patient of another than Dr. Holbrook. Maddy was not dead, but the paroxysm o f restlessness had passed, and she lay now In s heavy sleep so nearly resembling death that they who watched, waited ex pectantly to see the going out of her last breath. Never before had a carriage like that from Aikenside stopped at that hum ble cottage, but the neighbors thought it a m e merely to bring the ‘doctor, whom they welcomed with a glad smile, making a way for him to pass to Maddy's bedside. Guy prefarred waiting In tbe carriage un til such time as Grandpa Markham could apeak with him, bat Jessis want with tbe doctor into the sick room, startling even tbe grandmother, and causing her to won der who the richly dressed child could be. “ Dying, doctor," said one of tk¿ wom an affirmatively, not Interrogatively; but the doctor shook bis h ad, and holding in one hand bis watch, ha counted the faint pulse bents as with his aye be meas ured off the minute. “ There are too many here,“ be said “ She needs the air you are b r a thing,” and In hie singalar, authoritative way, be d a r e d tbe crowded room of tbe mis taken friends who were unwittingly breathing up Maddy's very life. All bnt the grandparents and Jessie; be suffered to remain, and sitting by Maddy. watched tiU the long sleep ended. Silently and earnestly tbe aged couple prayed for their darling, ask ing that. If possible, she might be spared, add God b a r d their prayers, lifting, st last, the h a r y fog from Maddy’s brain, bar ta Ufa asd partial coo Jt was Jessie who first the axpu aaisa of tha opening eyas. MMt," MV and darting forward, she exclaimed, “ She’s waked up. D r Holbrook. She will live.” IVonderingly Maddy looked at her, and then as a confused recollection of where they had met before crossed her mind, she smiled and said ; “ Where am I now ? Have I never come home, and is this Dr. Holbrook’s office?” “ No, no; it’s home, your home, and you are getting well,” Jessie cried, bend ing over the bewildered girl. “ Dr. Hol brook has cured you, and Guy is here, and I, and----- ” “ Hush, you disturb her,” the doctor said, gently pulling Jessie away, and him self asking Maddy how she felt. She did not recognise him. She only had a vague idea that he might be some doctor, but not Dr. Holbrook, sure; not the one who had so puxsled and tortured her on a day which seemed now ao far behind. From the white-haired man kneeling by the bedside there was a burst of thanksgiving for the life restored, and th>n Grapdpa Markham tottered from the room, out into the open air, which had never fallen so refreshingly on hie tired frame as it fell now, when he first knew that Maddy would live. He did not a r e for his homestead; that might go, and he still be happy with- Maddy left. Bat He who had marked that true dis ciple's every sigh, had another good in store, willing it ao that both should come together, even as the two disappointments had come hand in hand. From the soft cushions of his carriage, where he sat reclining, Guy Remington aaw the old man as he came out, and iljghtiny at qdc ^, he ^ccofltcd him pl6A8* antly, and then walked with him to the garden, where, on a rustic bench, built for Maddy beneath the cherry trees. Grandpa Markham a t doWn to rest. From speaking of Madeline it was easy to go back to the day when Gny had /first met grandpa, whose application for money he had refused. “ I have thought better of it since,” he a id , “ end am sorry I did not accede to your propoal. One object of my coming here to-day was to u y that my purse is at your disposal. You a n have as much as you wish, paying me whenever you like, and the house shall not be sold. Slo cum, I understand, bolds the mortgage. I will see him to-morrow and stop the whole proceedings.” Guy spoke rapidly, determined to make a clean breast of It, but grandpa under stood him, and bowing his white h a d upon his bosom, the big t a r s dropped like rain upon tbe turf, while his lips quivered, first with thanks to the Provi dence who had truly done all things well, snd next with thanks to bis benefactor. “ Blessings on your h ad, young man, for making me so happy. You are wor thy o f your father, and he wae the best of men.” “ My father— did yoi^know him?” Guy naked in some surprise, snd then the story came out, how, years before, when a city hotel was on fire, and one of the gnats in imminent danger from the locality of his room, and his own nervous f a r which made him powerless to act, another guest braved farlessiy the hissing flame, and scaling the tottering wall, dragged out to life and liberty one who, until that hour, was to him an utter stranger. Pushing back his snowy hair. Grad- father Markham showed upon his temple a long, white s a r, obtained ' the night when be periled his own life to save that of another. There was a doubly warm pressure now of the old man’s hand, as Gny replied. “ I ’ve heard that story from father himself, but the same of his pre server had escaped me. Why didn’t you tell me who you were?” “ I thought ’ twould look too much like demanding it as a right— too much like begging, and I s'pose I felt too proud. Pride is my besetting sin— the one I pray most against.” Guy looked keenly now at the man whose baetting sin was pride, and as be marked the cheapness of his attire, his pantaloons faded and ahort, his c a t worn threadbare and shabby, his shoes both patched at tbe toes, his cotton shirt minus a bosom, and then thought of the hum ble cottage, with its few rocky acres, he wondered of what he could be proud. Mantim e, for Maddy, Dr. Holbrook had prescribed perfect quiet. Even Jes sie was not permitted to stay, though Maddy clung to her as to a dear friend. In a few whispered words Jessie had told her name, saying she came from Aiken- side, and that her Brother Gny was there, too, outdoors, in the carriage. “ He h a rd bow sick you were at Devonshire, this morning, snd drove right home for me to come to see you. I told him of you that day la the office, and that’s why he brought me, I guess. You’ll like Guy. I know all the girls do— he’s so good.” Sick and w a r y as she was, asd un able as yet to comprehend the entire meaning o f all she h ard, Maddy was con scious of a thrill of pride la kaowing that Guy Remington, from Aikenside. was in terested in her, and bad brought hie sla ter to see her. Winding her feeble arms around Jessie's neck, she kiseed the soft, warm cheek, and a id , “ You’ ll come again, I hope.” " Y a , every day, If mamma w ill let me. I don’t mind It a bit. If you are poor.” “ Tut, tut, little tattler!” and Dr. Hol brook took Jessie by the arm. “ What makes you think them poor?” In the closely shaded room Maddy could see nothing distinctly, bnt she h a rd J ea ie’s reply; "B ea n se the plas tering com a down so low, and Maddy's pillows are so teenty, not much bigger than my dolly’s. Rut I love her; don't you, doctor?" Through tbe darkness tbe doctor a u gh t tbe sudden flesh of Maddy's ey o , and something impelled him to lay hin cool, broad hand on her forebad, as he replied, “ I lows all my pet l a t e ;” then, taking J ea ie’s arm, he led her ont to whore Gny wae waiting for her.
