The wife was forced to confess that the
symptoms had been unusually severe, but he
was so liable to these attacks that she
didn't think much of it. Her heart, how
ever, condemned her. She was conscious
that the means and complaints of her poor,
sick husband had i~rritated her to an unu-

ready to make all amends. With tears
