aud a statement Of the case, backed BY

gold, soon procured the loan Of a dis
used stove, a couple q chairs, faei,
light aud proper food, and in o brief
hour the litle room wort something
like an air of comfort
Another hour and the lids Of the
eyes Of the child were closed in slum

you with my cloak, urged.
No, doctor, was tue constant reply
] cannot, am SO happy. Il must have
been God that directed my wandering
footsteps To you.
And so We sat, with the night winds
roaring without, watching the almost
angelic face Of the peacefully slumber-
ing child, BAT and talked Of what | was
most anxious to hear. But the conver-
sation Of those long, dark hours can be
condensed into very brief space.
She who would have sold hor body
for the purpose Of giving little Ions
ger lie to her sister was tho daughter
OF at least supposed 6ealth. But few
years previous she could have held her
bead rs high as ,ha highest. Both
birth sad education fitted her for it,.

IA sweet one-my darling sister. OF
the insults / received while seeking for
work, shall never speak. They must
remain forever locked up in my own
breast And the pallid face flushed to
scarlet, even at the thought
And found no employment ?
None. Piece by piece l parted with
the little furniture that was possessor
of, until what you see was all that re.
