I A thought passed quickly through Mrs.
Clark's mind she stood still a few mo-
ments, her blue eyes 6xed in deep medita-
ton. AT last she said kindly, "Woll
my child, try and bear mp braveN and we
will see what can be done for you,n and
the warm, cheerful tones comtorted the
sad heart Of the seamstress.
The lady went up stairs and took the
pieces out Of the ivory port-monic. There
was a brief sharp struggle in her mind,
Somehow I've set my heart on this vol-
vet cloak" she thought; "and Edward
win be disappointed. was going out 10
select the velvot this very afternoon. But
then, there's that dying boy lying there
with strange faces all about him, and
would not this thought haunt mo every
time / put on my new cloak Alor all,
my old broadcloth is not so bad, tits on-
ly turned. And I'm sure, / can bring
Edward over to my way Of thinking. No
You must 90 without the cloak this time,
and have the pleasure Of knowing you've
smoothed the path going down to the val
Icy Of the shadow OF death, Mary Clark" "
And she closed the port-monie resolutely
and went down stairs.
/ "Jonet, put up your work this moment
there Is no time TO be lost. Here Is
the money. Take il and 60 To- your broth
er."
\ The girl lifted up her eyes moment
almost in bcwilderment, TO the lady, and
then, as she comprehended the truth,a cry
of such joy broke from her lips, that lis
memory never faded from the heart thro'
all the after years Of Mrs. Clark's life,
"Georgel Georgow The words leapod
from her lips, as the sister spraug forward
to the low bed where the youth lay, his
white sharpened face, cleaning death-like
from amidst his thick yellow curls
He opened his large eyes suddenly--a
flush passed over his palid face. He
stretched out his thin arms;--O Janet !
Janetl / have prayed God for the sight Of
you once more before / die"
ellis pulse is stronger than it's been for
two weeks, and his face has a bett, hue"
said the doctor, a few hours later, as he
made his morning visit through the wards
Of the hospital.
ellis sister came, yesterday and watch
ed with him." answered an attendant,
glancing at the young girl, who hung
breathless over the sleeping invalid.
"Ahl that explained il, I'm not GER
tain but that tho young man has rcouper-
alive power enough left torccovor if he
could have the care and tenderness for the
next two months which love alone can
furnish"
How Janet's heart leaped at the blessed
words! That very morning she had an in
terview with her brothers employers
They had been careless but not intentions
ally unkind, and the girls story enlisted
their sympathies. sl IHTt.
In day or two George was removed
to quiet, comfortable private home, and
, his sister installed herself by his couch
his nurse and comforter.
Three years have passed. The shad
ows Of the night were dropping already
around. Mrs. Clark sat in her chamber
humming a nursery tune, TO which the era
die kept kind Of rhythmic movement--
Sometimes SHE would pause suddenly
and adjust the snowy blankets around the
face of the little slumberer, shining uut
from the brown curls as red apples shinC
out amid fading leaves in October orchards
: "Sh-sh,n p said the young mother, as sss
lifted her finger with a smile Of warning
as her husband entered. .
"There's something for you, Mary. Il
came BY express this afternooni he saif
the words in an und6rtone, placing small
package in her hand.
The lady opened it with her eyes filleC
with wonder, while her husband leanet
over her shoulder and watched her move
ments.
A white box disclosed itself, and re-
moving the cover, Mrs. Clark deserted I
small, elegantly cased hunting watch
She lifted it with a cry Of delightful sur
prise, and touching the spring, the cast
flew back and ON the inside was engraved
these words: To Mrs, Mary Glars. II
