without sleep. know that myself"
If the invalid heard or understood
what was said, at least she gave nc
visible or audible token; nor did she
even arouse herself to say good bye
when at last the widow had finished her
"errand Of mercy" and went away.
Hardly had the latter disappeared,
however, when Aunt Deborah an.
nounced that it was time for Maria to
take her medicine and the sick woman
had learned that there was no appeal
from the mandates of the doctor and
his ally. SO she quietly raised her
dropping heard, and swallowed, without
murmur, the by no means agreeable
draught that had been prepared tor her.
NOW, dear, sald aunt Deporall,
Doctor Jones says you will have nice,
resting, refreshing sleep; and l won't
let no one disturb you"
The invalid SAID nothing, but sank
helplessly back, and closed her eyes,
while her astute guardian betook her
self to her knitting, until Doctor Jones
should come to take note OF the effects
OF his escrlption.
