 Slo~ly George recovered, Nellie never leaving him a moment except when com- pelled to do %. h two weeks he vas able to travel and they left and returned to Dallas, Nellie becoming convinced hat our highest duty is to the living and not so the dead, and George fully believ. ng in the special providence that watches over all, and sends resribution lt last on all the guilty "-but also knows when the guilty have suffered enough for one sin.
