For the half hour after Herbert had sent the

armchair, by the writing-table, with his head
bowed on his hands. 1t was evening, and there
was pleasant fire on the hearth, and the whole
room had bright and cheerful air. But Her
bert was sadder and loneler than ever-his
breast heaved with suppressed signs, while few
large, irrepressible tears slid through the ema-
ciated fingers pressed against bis dark, sunken
eyes Some one raped timidly at the door. Her
bert thinking it servant, called, "come in !" and
did not rise. There was quick, light step in the
room, and looking up Herbert beheld Margaret
Before he could rise to meet her, she was kneel-
ing, half fully by the side of his chair, her
fair hand laid on his arm. Her beautiful eyes
were swimming in tears, soft, reproaohful tears

"And So" she said, "you would dismiss your
faithful nurse All, wilful and perverse child,

"But, Margaret, am better, nearly well, in
deed, and so can spare you, as nurse"
"But, Herbert, cannot spare my patient"
and lifting her from her kneelng posture, looked
earnestly in her eyes, tell me what you mean by
those words-they are too blessed for belief
