CHAPTER !.
In a cheerful looking cottage on one Of
the quiet, unfashionable streets of New
Orleans. in the month of August, 1856, lay
a sick man, moaning and delirious; while
inkthe open door sat a woman, middle-aged
and hard featured, who was evidently mis-
tress of the domicile, and wife to the poor
sufferer. ~
The heat was very oppressive, but the
silent, woman at the door seemed uncon-
scious of the temperature, and might have
been made of stone, for any sign of life she
gave. Perhaps all her faculties were alb
sorbed in that of listening, for she started
to her feet like one electrified, as the sick
-naaa,s- Eeiee called her name.
4iMargaret! What day of the month is
thisS''
She hurried to the bedside, but instead of
answering him, exclaimed in a tone of sur
prise: -,
"Why, Dennis, believe the fever has
lefs YOU. This ia the first sensible word
YOU have spoken for three weeks"
~Whatu Jay did you say it was, Margaret"
oueried the sick man in an anxious, eager
awe Will soon he at the end of the month"; y
she answered.
>>mWhat month, Margaret-what month :
: And how long have been sick Z"
MYou have been in bed six weeks, and
this is August"
"Myg God! six weeks! 1t is time for
Ellen to be here" -
He threw the bed-clothes from him, and
sat up in bod, but his hands trembled, and
his lips grew pale. His wife threw her
strong arms around him and prevented him
from springing out of bed.
~eAre YOU sure she is coming Z" she asked
in a cold, harsh tone, drawing up the ban
kets and smoothing them around his neck.
"Sure! Am sure that I'm fFingf ]
got a letter from her the very day my head
felt SO bad, and she was to /Eall the last OF
July Get me paper quick, Margaret

She turned slowly away, and fumbled
in the work basket that stood upon small
table.
