Eyes, yes" said the man, s''I do,

had broken. "I do, Nell, / dol Oh,
Nell, what fool I've been; and what
q coward, not to believe it before!
Oh, Nell! forgive me, forgive me-
I've done you wrong" =
The woman raised herself by q
great effort to reach his hand, and
kissing it, said: II do, Bill. I knew
you'd do me justice some day."
"Oh, Nell, it's not too late-not
too late! You'll get better, and we'll
be as happy as we were before this. ?"
The woman only drew his head to
her, and kissed him; while he, reused,
kissed her again and again. "You
do believe me, don't you, dear?' :
"Oh, forgive me, Nell! Oh, for
give mel" were the only words he
could find, in the rush of his newly
found trust.
"Bill's wantedl" shouted some one
at the door. "Old Whips called you
three times"
"Here's the white, Bill" said
Jeccy. '.JJoa want Ioucning;" and
she brought it and stood with the
lamp, while he painted out the traces
of tears on his cheeks, in front of q
broken looking-glass.
''The red will do, Bill; 60 on, or
you'll have him in here, and she
won't like that"
Bill went out, and the doctor ar
rived few minutes afterward. He
was o short, stout, good-humored
looking man, with brisk way of
speaking, that at once secured him
obedience.
"Now, then," said he, "what's
amiss? I could make nothing of that
fellow you sent after me. Ali" said
he, altering his tone as his eyes,
growing used to the light, took in
the woman's face on the bed.

Doctor" said the sick woman,
chow long can I live?"
"Live, woman! why, you're good
for another forty years yet"
''No, doctor, I'm not-I feel I'm
not long for this world"
"Oh, all nonsense!" said he, you'll
soon get over this" And with like
comforting assurances he sought to
raise her from her depressed condi-
tion. In about ten minutes he went
to the door and said, "Come in here,
one of you, while I go to the gig. ="
He soon came back, and the woman
remained with him.
