The next day Miss DebDy went
out, and came home early, with bum
dies qfstoys andfictures, which she
lid where searching mischief could |
find them. And The Child came and
came every day until his coming was

..-.zOne-day Paul did not come. & ghs.
went out to look for him. She felt
bereaved, and returned to her room
only to return to- the door! YSHa
alarmed herself with q thousand JIM
.aginings, and finally forced herself to
submit to the privation, passing the.
day in arranging for his coming on
the morrow. ..., ..,.,o.t.i
But he did not come On the NOR
row, nor the next, nor the next, until
she was weary and heart SICK with With

Thought It long time, she who was
waitng-she. stood at the door, her
head pressed heavily against the edge.
She wished the gate would open. she,
wished be were hiding ia the trees,
and she even wished she might see
him in hesvan, if to die we're the
cost; and as she looked and yearned,
a childish laugh fell upon her ear.
She turned, but Paul was not there.
She returned to her hopeless longing,
when again louder and aurnistakablei
rang that one little voice Of ahsiev-'
there was no other HE it., oPaul;wasi
near. She looked upsss aira and taH
around her, and called, 4HPaul, adar-
ling, GOMEZ" but only the laugh
reached her again. 1T came from the;
! other side. She would have stepped
forward over that line she had not
passed for years, over that gulf which
| ihad widened and deepened for quar-
ter of a century, but she could not.
She would not thus undo in mo-
ment the work Of Sc. much time
throw down her independence and
advance to her sister. But that voice
again Paul was there, just over
there. She crossed the seam, and her
clothes clung with the dripping of
that imaginary horrible gulf, but she
went on.
The door was open. Within was
neat and cheerful and familiar, with
many articles which she had once
used in common with her loved sister;
but she thought not of this. On the
floor, in the middle of the room, sat
her sister in the midst of heaps Of
play-things, while, with his arms
about her neck, was Paul, sometimes
smoothing the silvered hair under
the fine cap, and apon) kissing the
