Gus one; she had everything money could

beautiful. but there is one sorrow
riches cannot avert-death. Two
years ago her husband. proud, noble
hearted Edward Livingstone died. That
almost crushed her, but she bore up
for the sake of her son-her bright'eyed
godon-haired Eddie.
And now Eddie was gone. And
since the day tney laid him beside his
father, all her energy was gone. All
her hopes aud interests in life left her,
and all day long she alay upon the
sofa or sat in deep lounging chair
in her darkened chamber, scarcely eat

see any friends except her own family.
And here, her sister, Mrs. Maxwell,
found her, as she came one. bright
morning, bringing breath of heavens

and heated chamber.

Poor Sue stood still, her bright eyes
full OF tears, looking at her sister for
little while. Then she turned abruptly
and left the room without another word.
And she drove her pretty ponies
straight to tue house of dear old
