the other was taken i'll, and, though her
life was spared to her stricken sistor, was
hopelessly imbeoile from that time. The
one pleasure Of which she seemed cspa.
bio was that Of liking to sec round her

and to give the poor invalid these became
the one absorbing duty Of the younger

let apartments, and who would keep her
secret, labored night and day to furnish
one room iu the style Of her SISTERS own
at Langton, and, while she herself lived
upon the poorest fare, supplied that
other table with luxuries. After that
long days work, tho poor girl would 70.

she had worn in tho days Of prosperity,
and devote herself to the poor imbecile,

band had had tho sligtest idea that she
had gained money enough to give what
she did to her sister, he would not have
left her in peace. She guarded her secret
carefully, and only seemed to have valued
her life as dedicated to the service Of her
sister to whom indeed, she owed such
terrible atonement.
And then came the day when she
could DO no more--whcn her love, her
prayers, her labor could give nothing
more to that figure on whom her tears
fell 50 bitterly and she could only bury
her dead out Of her sight, and realizc-
