CHAHTIJlt XVII.
Pr. Orcenwood had given Alison strict
InJuncHonii that the was to keep her als
lw as quirt a poatlble. but it seemed
Impossible to clifcek the storm of excited
tnlk. IW only relief wna to accuse
herself, nuil tmt nil her conduct In its
blackest light. A xvi4)rht of Intolerable
misery lay on her mlml: she felt her own
poltis were riehly deaerved, but the
thought that she had risked her father'
life by her disobedience was more than
she could ln-or. Uvery hour hc ques
tioned Alison about Ms slate. Would he
twoxcr? Wa he in any danger? What
did the doctor fear? Alison at la.it called
Hogc r to her aid.
"What shall we do?" she exclaimed,
half cry Inc. "Sllssle will not ret any
'sleep to-night; she In working herself
Into a fever, and Ir. Greenwood doe
not wish to give her an opiate. It break'
ray benrt to hear tier going on about papa
I think If she could only w him she
would lie more contented."
"Sball I go to Iter?" he asked, bwl
tatlng a Hit!, for Mlute bad extresd
no wish to see him.
"Oh. jes, perhaps that will be best,"
the mM. brightening a little. "I am so
tired awl brnrjl that I probably do
cot ray the rhxht tateft."
I TrfH coaae presently; but. Altte, I
am fo setry ynn are so tired. Sll Ilawd

see T : b seen' very rotten Hpt. Io
you think yoa could apeak to her for a
taonwnt?"
Alison Made a gesture of repugnance.
It wtu plain that be did not wash to see
SIlss Hardwh-k, Imt Itoger wns lent on
carrying bl Ibi.
"I have to go to my father now, be
MkL quietly, "but In about a quarter of
an hour I shall lie ready to see Slisaie.
I wll wait for you here. Stls Hard
wick will not detain you many minute;
go, dear Allle." And Alison reluctantly
obeyrl him.
Kva nan pacing up and down the long
drawing room, and came up to AlUou
quUkly. holding out both her hand.
-Oh, Album." ah raid, and the team
were running down her face unchecked.
"1 know jou do not want to see me, but
I begged K hard of Sir. Itoger to send
you. Of course, you hate the sight of me.
You think I am the cause of thl: bnt.
Indeed. Indeed. I never knew Sir. Slerle
would bo o angry !
"You tempted Slabel to deceive and dis
obey her father," returned Alison, severe
ly, for her heart was hard agalnt the
girl. "You knew that he disapproved of
Captain UarjT. ami then you encourag
ed and planned till arlieme. How could
any father fall to be angry when Ida com
mandi are so entirely set aside?"
uYou muil not speak against Antliony.
Alison," returned Kvn, In a subdued voice.
"I am engaged to him: he la only my
half-cousin. Slabel knew thl. and ahe
thought It would not matter coming with
u. Slamma would have told you, only I
dM not wish it to be made public. All
thla baa quite spoiled my bapplneu. I'oor.
dear Mabel: If I could only see her. and
help you to nurse her. Hut Sir. Itoger
laya It l quite impossible." And aUe wiped
away some fnidi tear.
There waa no much feeling In Kra'a
word and manner that Alion" coUInew
relaxed n little.
"Yon raut not ace her," he aald,
gravely: "I believe p:ipa baa forbidden
that for the prevent, but I oan give her
your lore, and tell her that jou anked
after her."
"Tell her I lll come every evening
to Inquire; tell her. too. that I ahall not
have a roowenfa peace, tblBklng that I
nra partly to blflme for tlibu It waa wrong
of u, AIImb; 1 ee that now. I deserve
to have nomething to bear n well aa he,
joor darling! You and Sir. Itoger rauit
not be too hard ou me. for. Indeed, I am
aa unhappy a powdble; Anna will tell
you ao."
"I will try to forgive jou." returned
Albion, with a warm kl. that evidently
urprled and gratified her. "It doea not
make thing better to be hard and bitter
agalnt pop!- We tiel not add to our
own unhapplnea in that way. Now I
rouat go, pleaae. Oite my dear lore to
Anna; I know ah wilt be fretting about
u." And Itb a quick nod AlUwti ran
upitalra.
"Welli" obnerved Roger, interroga
tively, aa ahe came to bli aide.
"I am glad you told me to go down,"
waa her reply ; "there la good In evtrj one,
and Kva certainly appeared to advantage
thla evening. Kite la really fond of SIMe,
and he cried o about it all, 81ie it not
a bad-hearted girl."
"No; and all thla will do her a great
deal of good. 'Kvll la wrought by want
of Ibougbt. we" n want of heart,'
Allle, Now let u go to poor SIMe."
Sliwile fluahed up very much when ahe
aaw Itoger. but tba next moment her face
grew won and pale.
"Well," be aald, cheerfully, taking hr
hot Utile hand, "thla l a aad affair; but
at lcat wo may b thankful it U not
worne. I nlroont think father looka a lit
tle better to-night ; SIra. Slcyrlck thought
to too. There waa certainly a alight con
cubkIoh of the brain laat night, but this
.miiinr lie aeein more Jiko himself.'
ni. Pii-or!" and Mlaale'a eyea were
filling lu moment, "do you really think
ao?" Hut tho Ittat wonl became a aob.
"Yea, dear, ami Nurae Sleyrick aald the
same: ho apoke more clear and articulato.
ly Now," kbulnj her forehead, 'jou
will b eny nbout Mm, and will try to
aleep?'
"itipre la no aleep In my eyea," ahe rv
turned, with a llttln of her old excitement.
"Oh. Iloger, you don't know what It Ij to
be brolfd and battered all over, and mt
to be able to turn without pal". If It
were not for that I would iw to him."
"IVrhap jou will be able to go to mor
row." he returned, humoring her, for her
fliKhed face mid excited look made him
nnxloua. "You will try to Ho patiently un
til the morning, .Mabel der, will jou not?
Alison i o worn out. Ue tmmt aleep to
night, nnd, lndcet, wo are all overtired
and hnrnwed."
"Ye, and I am the cnune," she return
ed, restlessly. "Oh. Itoger, I will not ask
you to forgive me; Albion has Imt then
ahe Is different. Hut you. of course, you
can never rare for me again !"
"Indeed, you are wrong, my deir llttlo
alrter, he mid, soothingly ; "I ilo care
for you very much, all the more that you
are so unhappy. When you get well again
ou shall see bow proud I shall bo of my
two staler, and what nlra time we shall
Ikivp."
"Oh. no," ahe returned, bursting Into
tears, "1 ncer expected any one to Ik
fond of me again. I have made your life
miserable, Itoger: I have tormented you
just for love of teasing. If 1 were not so
wicked I should like to die. and then per
hat jou would be sorry for me. If any
thing hnpiens to pa, I could not live.
Oh. If I could only tee him, and ask him
to forgive me!"
"Sly dear, he has forgiven you over nnd
over again." returned Itoger, In rather a
httsky voice, for he found all this verj
trying; "that la the best of It. One need
nerer 1 afraid of losing a father' love.
K Is not to be lwt. Slabel; the thlni is
against nature. If I sinned acatixt fath
er eer so, 1 know he must forgive me,
jiwt because I am hU son."
" 'I will arise and go to my father.' "
Murmured AlbsHi. half to herself, but
Mbwle heard it.
"Yea, read that to me ; 1 bav- len re
peating fragments of the vrss all day;
that fat. If you are not too tlrad, Allwm."
with renewed tbougfctfulnM.
"Itoger will read It." returned Alison,
feeliug the tank would be gol far lir
Itrotber, and dltnitli hec own voice;
ami though Uoger lxkcd a little shy over
it, he did not refdse.
Slliwle lay with dose,l eye anl listen
I. and he harassed expression j-ed
froB-j her face.
"Thank you: that wn lieautlful," she
said, when he bad finished. "How nicely
you read. Itoger! Now I will try to be
good and not wake Alison. I'erliap
when the light la shaded, I may drop off
to aleep."
Alison waa In sore need of rest by this
time; ber head ached n well a her
lltnl : but she had one more duty to per
form before she lakl down In the little bed
that had been prepared for her lnSIIsie"a
room, and that waa to bid ber father
good-night.
Mi welcomed her with a smile. "I
fed easier to-night." It said, nnd his
voice waa stronger. "Sly gol nurse has
made rae very comfortable, and 1 dare ay
we shall both be able to sleep a little.
How la I'usaie?" the old uame escaping
from his unawares.
"I do not think she I any worse," she
replied, cautiously; "but she still suffers
a great deal, and she Is making herself
so unhappy about you."
"Tell her not to do that," he retdle.1,
with a little effort; "he need not take
the blame of the accident en herself: ahe
baa enough to bear without that."
"Slay I give Iter your love. pa?"
"Oh, ye," he aald, aa though surpris
ed by tfce question, for he knew nothing
of the child' misery. "Tell her I hope
site will have a good night." And llien,
aa he seemed weary, she left hltn.
Sllssie received the mage In silence,
and, a the light was dim, Alison could
not see her face. She fancied that just
a she waa droping off to sleep there
waa a sound aa though some one waa
crying: but her sense were too droway
to take In tit faet that It might be Slbmla
fobbing la the darkmw. Her last recol
lected thought waa about Aunt Plana,
linger bad promlwsl to write a few line
from the oilier, and she bad wondered if
be had done It.
"How sbodcul Aunt Dl will be." ahe
thought, "and how sorry for u nil !" The
half-nnlsbed sentencv waa completed In
her dream, for sh dreamed that (Jrovllle
was rowing them both among the water
lillea, and Aunt 1)1 waa gathering roues
and throwing them Into hr lap.
"Do not cry, child, it will nil come
right In time," Alison heard her say :
"there la a silver lining boh I ml evlry
clouil, you may be sure of that." And
then abe woke with a start. Something,
he did not know what, bad disturbed
her; she sat up and looked round in be
wilderment. The moon waa shining full
In! the room, and SIbule'a bed waa
empty.
CIIAITKIl XVIII.
Nurse Sleyrick waa sleeping on a couch
In the dreaalns room. It had Iteen placet)
so near the dor of communication that
she bad a full view of her patient. He
had Just sunk Into n tranquil doze, and
ho had followed his example, when a
faint sound, like an opening door, roused
her, and a moment after she caught a
glimpse of a white-robed figure with long,
fair hair. A young girl lu a looe dress
ing gown was standing by Sir. .Merle's
bed. Nurse Sleyrick' quick eye discern
ed that one arm was bandaged nnd .In
splints. It mutt Iw the joung lady, she
thought, who bad been Injured In the ac
cident; perhaps she waa light headed.
The next minute ahe touched her softly.
"Come, my dear, come," she said coax
Ingly ; "you ought not to be out of your
bed at thla time of night; let me help-you
batk, there's a dear young lady " for SIU
ale'a wide, feverish eye alarmed her.
"No, no," returned Sllsale, recoiling
from die nurae'a gentlt touch. "I could
not stay tn bel, I could not sleep nnttl I
had en papa. Let me stay and look at
htmt 1 'vv til be good and not wake, him."
Hut the nutw shook her head nt thla.
"You must not stay," she whispered,
not daring to ralso her voice t "your feet
ara tare, mid jou look as bad n ssslble.
Come, tuj- dear, let mo carry Jim buck to
your room; It will senro jour father to
seo you srnndlng there."
"No, no," relumed Sllsale, nltrltiklng
still more: "I must stay with papa. Why
does lie hk so ile, and lie so still? I he
dead? No two told hie be was dead.
IMpa !" slie cried mil, for she was In
wlldcred by the dim light and ber own
feverbsh fancies. "Speak to nic only owe
word. Just to tell me jou are olive."
"Oh, hush!" exclaimed the nuro: but
she was too late. Mr. Merto woke up;
but In his ivtstk condition hi dauiihter'
presence did not seem tn startle him.
"My dear," he mid. feebly i "they ought
not to have allowed this. You will maka
yourself III leaving jtmr warm btsl.
"Hut I could not sleep," she sobbed ; "I
could not rest. I thought they were hid
ing things from roe, If you Itflt) diet!, and
t had never told you 1 wa sorry, I should
have died, too. Oh, papa, It must have
killed me!"
He smiled faintly, and gathered the hot
little hand In his.
"You were sorry all the time, my pot,
were you not?'
"Yes. I nm sorry now," creeping still
closer. "I couhl not ask (Jod to forgive I
me until you had forgiven me. Oh. 1
why do jou look so kindly nt me. when I
you know It Is all through my wlckedticits
that jou nre lying here? Of course, no one
can lovfl mo any more."
"Not love jou. rustle! Come, come my
chlM. father are not like that. 1 forgive
jvti freoty; evwjthlne Is right between'
u. Hut, my poor darling, you nre III nnd
suffering, ami If you care to pleaa wo I
let nurse carry you bank to Iwd."
"Will you let ne klst you Srst?"
I Its onlv answer ws to rch out hi
arm to her: but he wondered to see how
slowly she cHtae to him. How could be
gtte each movement wa agtmy to the
is.tr child? How she bad ever managed
to crawl from ber tietl ami across me pas
sage only she herelf kew.
"I have only owe arm to pot around
your neck." ahe whleperetl. a her bmg hair
fell over hi face. "Dear, dear rts, If I
could only bear It all!" Awl aa be felt
her tear upon his cheek be iintterslood
how her young heart was wrung with re
morse awl sorrow, and holding her a
moment tried to comfort her, and lio
sought Ood to Ides hi pet.
Atison was Just sitting up In affright,
looking around the empty room, when
Nurse Sleyrick attpeaml, carrying Sll
sle In her arms.
"Oh, Slabel. where bate you been?
Yott have frightened me sol"
"Oo to sleep, Allsou." returned Sllle,
In a happy oice. "I have only been to
see pnpn, and he has forgiven me. and
now 1 can rest."
"She will be quiet now," whispered the
nurse. "I hnve coernl Iter up warm, and
she will ret until morning." And she
wa right. Though Sllssle lay awake,
feverish and full of pnln, she gave no
more trouble, and jioor Alison was allow
ed to sleep iindlsturlieil until morning.
Pot the next few daj Sllsale waa very
III. Her agitation of mind brought on a
slight feverish attaric, anil when this had
yielded to the doctor' remedies her weak
ness was rxeewdve. Her nerve had been
Jarred and unstrung by the noridrtit: and
the least noise, the slamming of a door,
or even a louder voice than unual. made
her change color and burst Into tror. It
was Impossible for her in her shattered
stale always to repress Irritability.
Again the obi sharp tone and wonts re
calM SliiHile' faulty temper. Hut there
wa till Improvement the struggled
bravely against her besetting sin, and
would ask pardon quite humbly of Alison.
"I have been so cross totlay," she would
say, with tear In her eje; "I wish jou
would not be to sweet and patient with
me.
"I will promise to scold when you nre
well enough," Alison would say, In her
most cheerful manner, for she knew Slbc
le mint nol lie encouraged to be morbid.
Must now, darling, I can only remember
jou nre III, and that your pour arm I
giving you trouble. 1 know I should be
cross if I bail so much to bear."
Hut In spite of Alison's assumed cheer
fulness ebe was growing le and thin.
Her close confinement In Sllssle'a room
tried her; no one but Alison suited the
alck glrl'a fancy no one elso seemed to
understand her little way. SIU U-lgh'
gentle mournfulnes irritated her; she
had never cared muoli for Anna, and she
bad lost all dealre for tit a' cominnlotl
shlp, and though her father had generous
ly withdrawn hi prohibition, Kvn had
only once been admitted to her room. The
interview had been a little embarrassing.

Anna seemed to cement their Intimacy '

each became more npimrcnt, there were
