Annie hurried out of the room. In little Will
she returned with Dunbar: Margaret and Joh1
followed him. He walked Immediately up to ia
MES side His face was white as marble, and tn
lines around his mouth fixed in such rigdity, as Il
appear chiseled, but his eyes were cleaning ik
stars. His coal black hair was pushed far bacl
from his high bold brow, and there was an air o
determination, of settled purpose, pervading tn
whole person, as at once to give the family con
idence they had been far from feeling.
jamie was tossing from side to side, now moan
ing in low agony, now starting wildly with shud
der and groan, or shreking in peals of terror How
beautiful she was even in her agony True, he
merry laugh, her playful wit, her light, graceful
movement, her gentle, winning ways were gone
but now, as she Law for moment quiet, she looked
like sleeping child. The dropping eyelids, will
their heavy fringe so yelling their burning look, a
now to seem softened to tearfulsadness. The skin
still preserved its velvet softness, though the fact
was crimson in fever. Her hair, pushed back from
her temples, was only partially confined by the del
icate lace-cap which she wore and was stealing ou
in rich curls upon the pillow. She would not suf
fer her cap to be tied nor the fastening of her gowr
to be caught, and her beautiful throat was partly
bare. Her face looked attenuated and sharpened
though its perfect oval was not yet lost. He,
mouth was the only feature that retained its per
feet beauty; with its full red lips, and exquisite
form and the half pouting, half playful expression
still fingered around it suddenly her brown eyes
opened to their fullest. Mother, mother, give
me rest" OH that terrible cry for rest, would il
never cease? Dunbar placed his cold hand on hel
head. ......
"Yes." said he, in his firm clear tones, 'syou
shall have rest drink this now" He offered the
potion he had been mixing to her lips
"Away with your drugs-I'n have none of it" "
said jamie, striving to dash it from his hand.
"Janie," said he, in loud decided tone, fixing
his ewes with an almost basilisk gaze upon her,
"drink this now, and then you may Sleep"
She looked at him steadiy: suddenly starting
nm she caught the glass, drained its contents and
daships it to the floor cried, ssNow where's your
sleep3 Don't Won know the wretched he forsakes 7
tell YOU believe it is myth, a popular deluson,
nm s;,,s f1,,us which lures with its Ercean homes

"Strange how forget-its gone again."
But the opiate, instead of quieting her, seemed
to excite her to the widest fury. She now raved
in deTrium. She was child again at her moth
er's knee-but q weary child crying to fold her
leaves and be a bud again She was again in her
luxurious home, enjoying, to the utmost, all its
beautiful surroundings; but still wailing slippery
steps and heavy burdens still finding perilous
path, and weeping in home sickness. Then she
was at her work, striving to fill the restless longing
with creature duty, and still the ceaseless plant,
I'm weary, Oh! so weary, and her hearts watch
words, Love, Rest, and Iome, sweet Home, Oh |

DR.. Hartley looked anxiously at Dunbar. Ii it
were possible for that rigid face to grow stonier,
in the last hour it had grown so and there was a
dark circle creeping around the eyes, that told of
intense feeling. He did not speak, as again he
administered the opiate in double quantity.
DR.. Hartley shook his head as Janies rawlings
again became more connected.
