slumber; the slurnber Of sweet relief after
long days and nights OF we@riness aud AZ
oniziDg suspense, and she hurriediy dressed
herself and went into the sick room.
Lillian was there, and her husband was
awake. He greeted her with a smile, in
fantlle in is weakness, yet fgll Of love and
trust, as she bent over him aud whispered
glad words OF love and thaukfClness Into
his ear.
Have I, then, been 80 very sick' he

him for months when she had imagined
herself grateful only. and she sighed ss
she thought how his kind and noble heart
must have been wounded bv her c0ldness
and she strove 10 make amends by showing
him every phase Of tenderness her full
heart could devise.
