yet it was balm to her wounded spirit to
know that he had spoken truly in saying
he would never forget her. Ii was in a
little village but few miles from Seville
that Pepita took rci5ge; her weakness pre-
vented her from seeking farther. aud as
she vas not known there, she felt as re.
mote from old associations as il she were
hundred miles away. A friendly woman
with several young children took her in,
and as Pepiia was skilful with her needle,
patient and kind with the children, aud
very quiet anl accomplishing, her host
ess was well satisfied.

more than year had passed away since
she had parted from Jose, Pcpita began
to feel yeaming to hear from him, to
know ifhc still held her in his heart, as
she now cherished the thought Of him.
