Ellen was now left alone to entertain he
guest. He was yet weak from his woun'
and unable to sit up very long at time
The solitude of his room was irksome t.
him, and with the privilege of an invalid
he reclined upon the sofa beside her, o
rested in the chair which she drew to tn
window and made comfortable for his ben
eft. His dependence, and this freedom
from restraint, with his own open and win
ming disposition, soon made them quite a
their ease; and when Mr.. Willoughby cam
down late in the evening, he found then
chatting with the familiarity of old acquain
tances.
Graham was possessed of high anima
spirits, which, with fine scholarly attain
ments, made him a most entertaining com
panion. His disposition was warm, eager
impatient and versatile, and the fervor will
which he described any topic, and th'
graphic interest with which he invested it
was peculiarly charming to Ellen Camp
bell, shut out, as she had been, from sucl
coDgenial intercourse.
You seem to be in pain, SIR said Mr.
Willoughby, as intently watching the youne
officer, he noticed an expression of acute
suffering pass across his face.

said he, striving to smile, but checked BY
a twinge doubly severe.

Ellen, rising. But of course Jerry coulc
not be found, and Ellen had to return ir
CONSERVATION.
What is to be done,' said Mr.. Willough
by, in terror at the increasing paleness o.
his guest.
IF he will trust it to me, I think could
make it comfortable said Ellen, firmly
though the color mantled her cheeks.
will you, indeed? That is an honor,
he replied, eargerly then in tone of hes
itation, 'but it will be a painful task fol
you. No, I can suffer it till Jerry comes,
and he leant back in the chair and closed
his eyes in exhaustion. Ere he was aware
Ellen quietly and gently unwrapped the
stifened bandage, and bathing the inaamed
and angry wound, soon gave him the ease
he so much needed.
'How shall thank you,' he said, as she
bent over him arranging with her woman's
care, his pillows.

piled, 'and keeping perfectly quiet for al
least fifteen minutes
If you seal my lips, my heart will moi

in grateful admiration. She placed her fin.

shook her head in playful reproof. But ii
was impossible to keep his restless nature
long quiet, and he was soon chatting as
gaily as ever.
you have had lonely day I fear,' said
Mr.. Willougbby, who had seated himself in
the embrasure of window with his face
towards his guest.
