One bright afternoon in November
two girls sat chatting in the cozy
boudoir Of the elder of the two. The
house of which this sanctum formed
a part was situated on the outskirts
of Cloverdale. All the surroundings
testified to refined and cultivated
taste, and no prettier picture need
be desired than the one formed by
our heroines as they sit side by
side in earnest but subdued CONVEX
sation. The open fire tended to add
picturesqueness as we'll as comfort to
the apartments, and the tout en-
semble formed a pleasant contrast
to the dark picture of woe which had
been 80 wildly described in the mag
azine one of the two held in her hand.
Both girls were pretty and at an
age where one would suppose them
almost totally unacquainted with
the depth and meaning of life which
either sorrow or pain are sure to
teach to us poor mortals, sooner or
later in our onward journey. The
senior by a few months, however, had
from the time Of babyhood, known
but few moments untortured by
agonizing throes, for when only
three years of age Il careless nurse
had let her fall from a swing, since
which time, in spite Of oil that de-
voted love and the highest medical
skill could do to mitigate the evil,
or gain few moments ofease to the
tortured form, the poor child was to
pass hours of such physical agony as
taxed the nerves of all who witnessed
her fortitude and patience.
The brave little spirit forced SO
early in the conflict to accept the in
evitable, did so brayelv. gently and
