at the top of the landing, by the window.
Such white face as turned upon her!
The tears rushed to her lovely eyes.

He was still faint and almost deiirious.
and he obeyed like child.
She led him into her own little room;
drew him to lounge, where he sank ex
hausted. Her hands trembled as she ar
ranged the pillow.
She saw, now, that the stout young
Teuton was absolutely dying of hunger.
With quick movements she kindled a
fire, made tea and toast, went out for
minute and returned with a bit of
tender beef, which she boiled, giving him
every drop of the precious juice. A little
after he was able to sit bolstered up and

She smiled back at him, tears in her
eyes.

and indeed he presently fell off into doze.

a romance. and she wasa part Of it. How

The room looked lonely after lie wa.

the lounge where he had lain, and Marie
went and nestled her cheek against thu
soft fur. She was only dimly consciou,
that his head had also lain there

EATING AND SLEEPING. 1t is a mis-.
take to suppose that eating before
sleeping is ipjnrious. Not at all un.
frequently does it happen that people
are sleepIess for want OF food, and q
little taken either when they frst go to
bed, or when they awake slccpless, will
be generally found far more efIicacious,
and. of conrse. infinitely less injurious
than any drug in the chemists phar-
macop1ia. These are the physical
remedies for sIeeplessness which have
the best recommendation. AS for the
moial ones, there is certainly good
deal more to be suid. Perhaps the
most stringent of all rules is. "Avoid
anxiety" Chewing the bitter end of

Condemnation of the efforts for reform

Aud as for Texas. she had the votes
which enabled her to get rid of au in-
famous government. We appreciate
the value of determination to throw
of burdens, and resolution to do all
that that implies. But there is q
power which would delight to put
them on US again and double their
weight. Our condition would be made
worse. The whole difficulty here may
be summed up in word. We need
