CHAPTER XII.

Nellie had been much alone since her ill
ness even the companionship of Mrs. Dex-
ter, kind and gentle as she had always
been, was irksome to her. She liked best
TO sit in her chamber, her hands idly fold
ed in her lap, looking dreamily out upon
the children playing in the little park op-
site the house. or watching the fountain
as it cast up its glittering clouds of spray.
She had been very i'll, but was now rapidly
recovering, though the buoyancy of spirit
which had made her lovely was gone she
looked like the shadow of her former self,
and her voice was fast falling into that
dreary monotone of suffering which is so
painful.
Without possessing the genius which
was 1.-The fatal endowment of her sister,
Nellie was highly gifted girl, cursed with
that peculiarly sensitive organization
which had wrought half the misery of
Catharine's life. She had remained child
longer than the young are apt to do, and
the events of the past weeks had forced
her on to maturity Of thought and pur-
pose which brought with it its own wretch
edness.
Once Mr.. James alluded to the subject,
but she checked him, and when he spoke
of the redress which she must claim, and
made her understand the legal rights which
he intended to seek, her anguish was such
that he had not again ventured to recur to
it. But his will was immovable, aad he
determined not to be baked Of the full
measure Of his vengeance though he
trampled her heart down to obtain it, even
as he had crushed that of the woman
against whom he had sworn a hate so dead
ly and so lasting.
Nellie was alone one day, Mrs. Dexter
had gone upon some business to their
house in the country, place to which
Nellie would not return, thinking Of it
only with an added pang, and Mr.. James
was also absent.
She sat for long time in her chamber,
and at length descended to the floor below,
wandering about the vast apartments like
some desolate spirit doomed to keep that
unquiet vigil. At last her strength be-
gan to fail, and she sat down in the library
which her guardian usually occupied as
his study. She looked idly around for
something with which to occupy herself,
and was at length attracted by quaint old
cabinet at the farther end of the room.
She went up to 1t, and with the childish
curiosity of recent illness, opened the
numerous doors and drawers, without ever
thinking that there could be anything i'm
proper in her aimless researches. AT length
she reached compartment which was
locked, but the key, apparently from
thoughtlessness, had been left in the lock.
She unlocked It, and found an antique
casket of tarnished silver curiously
wrought and Of singular form. She took
it out with an exclamation of pleasure, and,

EDUCATED OYSTERS !

valves thus supplied should hot die be-

That such a life required a great change

evident; and it needed Q training, yes,

such ability. And this was the way 1t
was done: Beginning oarly in the fall
the cultivator took up the fat sbivalyds s
from their bed where he had planted
them and laid them a little higher, ub
on the shore, so that for short time

posure by the repeating tide they were
