i: IR! : Aunt Diana i The Sunshine of the Family 2! -: CItAl'TKIl .Will. (Continued.) Mlssie had plenty or good sense, and she no longer stilled It; her consclence told her thill she would never have sin ned so grievously against her father l( Kin had not undermined her principle by her flutter? nnd playful words of adrlce to be Independent and acrt herself. A veil had fallen from her cyea; she no lonjrrr i lira's conduct In the mri light, mid a she grew better, nnd lira sought opportunities to be with hrr. the disillusion became more complete. MImIc found herself wondering over ber own In fatuation. 1 1 Ail Kva always been so loud In her manners so utifltl.nl In hrr behavior to her roolhrr. so unkind to Ann.iT Mlssie nt first grew critical and then reproachful. Strange to say, Rva accepted her rebuke very meekly evidently her affection for Missle wax sincere In Its way. tor she took some (taint to please her. and even trieil to break herself of her faults. Hut for her unlucky engagement with Captain Harper there waa every probability that Mlssie might hare Influenced her for good : twit her approaching rn-vrrlage oou drove all salutary reflection away. A Mlle'a violent Infatuation for her friend cooled. she turned more and more to Alliton for sympathy ; and here at least she dtdnot find herself disappointed All son returned her niTectlou warmly. Mlxsle nan a little exacting as an In valid, for she was still separated from her father, and. alas! there was still cause to be aniioos for him. lr. fircenwood never told Alison what he had feared: but after a few day, when he and another doctor had consult ed together over the case. It told her and Hoger that tfcere was certainly some decree of rolscaiet in connection with the spine; It would be many nwnths (er haps a year or two before he could vi.e from his click. "We certainly hop for his complete recovery in the future, be continued, re assuringly, as Alison turned pale and Hoger looked unluppy. "Another Inch and be would never hav moved h ltml again: but now thine ere not so bad. Mr. Merle will hive his books, and they will go far to console him la hi enforced Inaction." Ir. Greenwood was right In h!i con jecture; Mr. Merle took the tidings very quietly. "I told you your broad shoulders were made for roroethlnsr be said, looking at his son with a smile. lie and Alison had come to bid him goud-nlght. The nurse had not been dismissed, though It was already arranged that Hoger should take her place in his fath er's dressing room. "I shall hare to leave the mill In your bands. Greenwood give me no hope of being fit for business for the naxt year or two," "I will do everything I can. father." returned Hoger. sorrowfully: "but I feel awfully cut up about It all." "Tiiere Is no need for that, my boy." returned Mr. Merle. "I should not won der It jou da better at business than I, Roger. I'erhap this will be less a trial to me than you supje. I da not deny, of course. that it U a trial; but slBI, with my book and children I shall try to be content." "We shall do everything In oar wer to ease your ralnd." returned Hoger. bravely. Hut he said no more, and short ly afterward left the room. leaving his fstber and Alison together. "Hoger feels this dreadfully," she said, anxious tiiat her father should not mis understand Ms son's lack of words. "Yes, my dear, I know he does." re turned Mr. Merle, with a sigh. "1 am fortunate to have such a son. To think," he added, with emotion, "that I could ever have been so blind as to believe that villain's Innurndoa against him and now tbe whole business Is In his bands." "You can trust him fully, papa." "Yes, better than I can trust myself. Alison; that boy li true aa steel, and will not fail me. I wish I bad found It out before. I remember your aunt Diana once saying to me that 'If I stud led my children aa well as I did my books I should be rewarded for my pains,' Ily tbe bye. Alison, what does jour annt say to all thla unlucky accident?" "We bave not beard from her." re turned Alison, In a low voice. "Hoger wrote tbe very next day after the acci dent, and I wrote tbe next day; but we bar bad no reply." "That U very unlike Diana," observed Mr. Merle, In a surprised tone. "Hoger 7 that she can not have re ceived our letters, papa; you see she Is In Switzerland, nad perhaps she baa deviated from tbe proposed route that Is just ber way; If be take a fancy to a lilac she will stay there for a day or two, and then she does not get hrr letters for days. If we do not hear from her soon. Hoger think. I had better write to Mr. Moore. It doea seem so strange" ber eye- filling with tears "that Aunt Dl should not know bow unhappy we bave been." "I believe yoq are fretting after her, Alison you are quite tain and fragile looking." Hut Alison denied tbla with a great deal of unnecessary energy. She waa only a lUtle tired; but now Mabel waa getting better she would be able to bare a walk sometimes. "Hut you must not talk; any more, . M . - M I 1.1 sapa. H( nnuueu, you rw iuusiu rstber exhausted. Nurse Meyrlck rill be here directly! may t read to you a little until she comrsV' Mr. Merle shook hU head sadly. "My dear. I should like It of all things but you know Dr. Greenwood has for bidden any kind of study for the next few, weeks, nnd I never pared much for works of fiction, except Sir Walter Scott." "I meant a chapter or two out of the Itlble before )oit went U sleep," re turartt Alison, bluhlug vlth timidity. A sudden shadow iid over Mr. Merle's faov "I did not understand you, my dear," he said, with a little effort. "Well, child, do as you likethat sort of reading " not hurt one." Alison felt the permission wnj accord ed rather ungraciously, but still she dared not refuse to avail herself of It. She broupht the lllble Aunt DIanaVt gift nnd sat down quietly by her father's side. The iiJIee trembled n little as she rend, but s)io did not know how sw-eet It sound ed In her father's ear. Once when she looked up she found his eye fixed on her face, and stopped Involuntarily. "Shall I leave off, paai" "Ye, that will do for to-night; you may read to me to-morrow. You arc so like jour mother, Aliwn; she was fond of her Hlble, too. You are n good girl, and take after her." "I'oor dear mamma. How hard It must he for you, pavi, to lie thero missing" her." "Ah!" he said, averting his face. "It Is a lifelong loss, I think I never knew any one to good not een Diana could compare with her. IKj you know you reminded me so much of her that day when you wanted me to go to church. Child, your reproachful eyes quite haunt ed me. Ah, well! It ever I get well" He mused with a sigh. "Yon will come with us then, pjpa." she said, softly. "I hope so, Alison, but I fear It will be a long time before I have the chance. When a man has looked death In the face, as 1 bave. who might he leen hurried Into eternity without a moment's prelum tion, he thinks a little mere sertoasly about things. I bop I am grateful far being spared I think I am. You Aall come nml read to e every night If you like, my dear; It ts a grand book, the lHWe." Aiken's heart was too full to answer blin, but as Nurse Meyrlck came Into the room at that moment she leaned over ami kissed his forehead. "Good-night, dear papa; I hope you will sleep weH." "Good-nlght." he answered, cheerfully, "and give my love to Mbwle." Albou felt strangely happy as she left her father's room; It seemed to. ber as though they were coming clor to each other. There bad been a look In ber father's eje and a caressing tene in hU voice that told br that she was becom ing very dear to him. She said to herself In ber young gladness that Providence bad accepted her sacrifice her father's benrt was no longer closed to her, and Mabel was beginning to love her. "Ask and it shall be given to you," was abun dantly realized In her case mi tree It Is that lore begets love, that the Divine sml of charity sown broadcast, even over bar ren hearts, will still yield some thirty Md, some sixty-fold, seme bumlretl-foM. AHsoa's tranquil rest that night wa only a preparation for a most trying day. Mimle had left her bed for the rettcai that afternoon. When Alison bad placed her comfortably, she bad goae down stairs for a .few Miaul' to speak to Anna, leaving MM Iigh in charge. Anna detained her longer Iban ua she had so ma eh to say oa the subject of lira's appreathlnt marriage, ami while Alison ws still talking and listening. Miss Iigh hurried dawn stairs with a rery pole face. "I wish yoa weM come," she salil. la itwrh agitation: "Ms 11 Is sa very hys terical I can de nothing with her. lVr bapa I bave been InrautlesM. but she ques tioned me ro eJee!y as ta what tile phy sician said about her father that I maM not avoid telling her." "Oh, dear, what a pity. I meant to hare told ber myself when she waa bet trr." observed Alison, somewhat reproach fully. Miss Iigh's tact was often at fault, and she "bad choen an unlucky moment for breaking tbe news to Mlssie Just when site was weary wltb the fatigue of dressing. Alison found her In a sad state fob bing bitterly, with ber bead bidden In the pillows and for a long time she re futwd to allow Alison to raise her Into a more comfortable position. To ber re lief, Hoger entered tbe room and asked Immediately, In hi downright manner, what 'was tbe matter, and why Mlstde was making herself 111. This brought on a fret burst. "Oh. Hoger! what shaU I do? Poor pan'." "It Is par Mabel. I think." observed Hoger, kindly, and be raised tbe sobbing tittle figure In bis arms and brought the wet face into view. "I declare, child, you are a perfect Nlobe. Allle, what are we to do with herJ" "He will not get up for months per haps for years and it Is all my fault!" crlrd Mlssie, passionately. "rerbapa so, my dear, but do yoa sup pose all these shower of tears will do father any goodT" "1 must cry I ought to cry when I am so unhappy," returned Mlssie, Impa tiently, and trying to free herself. "No, my dear, no," was Hoger" quiet answer; "you bave given u all so much trouble that you ought to spare us any noisy repentance; the best thing you ran do for us all Is to get as well and happy aa you can, and help to nurse father," CHAITEH XIJO Mlssie left off crying and stared at Roger. He told Alison afterward that tbeae half-drowntd bias eyta made him feet 'quite bad lint then Hoger was sttca a cotl-hcartcd fellow. "ou do not utiderstnnd," she said nt last, very slowly. "My dear little sNter." he Mid, tnk tug her hand, "I do understand, nnd so do's Alliion. nnd we nrv Imtli agreed on thts point. Kepentnncc Is npt to bo trou blesome If It l curried beyond due hounds and. In fact. It out degenerate Into seJIMiitp and you are really very self Wi nlHMtt this." "Oh, Hoger!" exclaimed Alteon, n lit tle shoOtrd at this plrtln i-pcuklng. Hut linger knew what he was ntmt ; he was determined, as be sold ipmlntly, "to seal up tlip fountain of Mlssle's tears." "Is he not' unkind?" returned poor Mlssie, plteottsly "lie mils tne selfish, J (tint Iww-Mt l an I Mm a.l a.ttv alwilit ttutlUt .'

Is It not? Hut I am not laugh ing when I talk about your selfishness. ; jim see you are just going ngalnst the wise old proverb. 'Never cry over spilled milk.' The mischief Is done, ifly dear, but every one In the house has forgiven you tor iveing mo ntusr oi it, nnu now you must forgive yourself." "Oh. I can not." she mKI. "I shall be miserable until papa is well." "There speaks srlflhnes" he return ed, quickly. "My dear Mabel, why think about yourself nt nil? why not think how tired Alison look, nnd bow yeu may spare ber? 1 am sure a cheerful word from you would da her no end of good," Mlssie seemed struck by lit words. She looked at her stster rather serullnli Incly. Certainly Allwrn dM look pale, and there were dark rltur rmnd her eye. Heger saw lies advantage, and went en. "You have no Men how people In a hHe aet and react an eei ether a depressing perfem I like a perpetual fog. I think I shall rubi that speech as a proverb. Yan know I am tt Wt of a phllesapher Hoger the sage that sound well." Mlssle's lips curved Into a smile; a little dimple ewme Inte view. "Come, that's aUut the real article a tittle mare, ami we shall have a rain bow effect." observes! Hegrr In a delighted tone. "Now. we bave the whale thing In working order.

Thirdly and Vastly, tiu are to turn over a new leaf and ul tlsate cheerfulness and that sort of thing." "I will try." sighed MMK raising her face to le kbue.1, "bnt It will be dread fully bard." "Most things are hard," was the phllo-sat-blsul reply: "bnt we shall never do ntHCH good In tbe world by sitting In the dust and easting ashes an oHrselves that sort f thing daen't fiH '. belong to tho present dlsp'nsatlati." "No, It l 'l-et the lid bury their .lead." now." oWrved AlUan. In a waved v4ce. "New. Hoger. ym aaay leave Mls sie te me: she is tired ant. and I am going to rad her to sleep."

Mabel dr. that you can spare roe?" a.ked Alison, anxiously. "Quite snre." was Mbwl' answer, and then Alison consented to leave her. Shs was conscious that her strength was fall ing ber a little; tne dose confinement and anxiety for the last fortnight were trying to ber constitution : broken rest at night often followed the long dav' work. She was pining, too. for a word from ber dear- friend. She had written two day ago to Mr. Moore, questioning him about Mis Carrington'a movements, but bad received no answer from the confidential servant who acted as tbe blind man' amanuensis, and. In spite of her effort to be cheerful, she was feeling dull and deserted. (To be continued.) Sympathy- It was In the art museum. "Ye.
