mother gave them food which his money
had purchased knowing that he hated
them, and feeling as if each morsel they
ate was choking her. Then the thought
came of the little grave, and how he would
90 there alone at sunset. would she dare
offer to go with himP No, her courage
was not equal to that, But there was
something she could do. She found that
her husband was busy writing in his own
room; and quickly gathering her best,
lovelies, autumn flowers, she went to the
cemetery: tcnderly, with tears that fell
not merely for her loss, she laid the offer
inc on the new grave. That little mound
was an altar, and this was an Offering OF
love and peace. and Of hope too.
That night, when Mr.. Powers came
home, his wife scarcely dared raise her
ewes to his face; though she longed to
know if her repentance were accepted.
lie said nothing, but she tancied that his
movements were gentler than usual, ana
he actually picked up one the chlldren's
TOYS. and nut il away; he was not used to
touch ANYTHING of theirs. All through the
week Susan watched 10 do kind things,
without being obtrusive; and when Sun
,lay night came, rs he was leaving the
house. her bonnet and shawl were all
ready: she said trcmblingly. 81 should
like TO go with YOU. Philip and. aS he
did not forbid, she walked on by his side.
Neither spoke; but after q little, Susan
timidly put her hand on her husbands
arm: this he permitted also, and she felt
that her offers of peace were not despised.
Day bv dav she sought and made little
opportunities to show good will; not re-
ceiving direct encoura cement, but not re-
lelled she persevered, feeling constantly
that little ground was gained. The great
wonder was that her own sense of wrong
had vanished she found herself begin
ming to think first OF his comfort and
convenience: to consider his interests,
and to feel real pain when the children in
commoded him in any way.
Early in the autumn Harry was taken

the second lay, before Susan had realized
that it was anything very serious, their
doctor came in. saving, Your husband
came round; he thinks | had better see
the little lad" There was choking SEN
sation in the mothers throat; it came TO
her like n flash, that she had not wanted
Il doctor for the baby at first; she had not
thought her sick enough. Harry's symp-
toms grew more and more alarming, and
rs his mother wondered to herself If she
could stay with him alone, her good Mrs.
Marshall walked in. Mr.. Powers had
found her out and sent her. Susan under
stood why he held back from any part in
the nursing, and felt that she should do
the same in his place. But that very night
he said to Mrs Marshall, lyon must 90
to bed; | will sit up with my wife; she
will need you in the daytime" Andthese
words once spoken, he took his part of
