In the following weeks Isabel had need of
all her firmness and presence of mind, for,
as DR.. Conroy had said, there was a pro
longed struggle fer life in the sick room
the first week had been one of delirious
raving, and her heart sank within her as
she repeatedly heard HIM muttering: "She
does not love me; she does not love me,''
in such sad tones that it pierced her very
heart.
She knew her own heart now fully; in
those terrible nights of watching, when she
had sat beside him, breathless with fear
and suspense, the thought had come to her
in all its chilling force of what life would
be to her without him, and she knew that
she loved him with deep devotion which
would last through eternity.
She told him so again and again, as she
knelt by his bedside, but he only looked at

her with blank stare, not comprehending
or caring for the intelligence which would
have made him so happy in health.
She kissed his fevered face and bathed it
in tears of contrition as she bemoaned the
answer she had given him in that last
moment of partial sanity, when he had
asked her if she loved hun. And yet, how
could she have answered him differently,
without being sure Of her own feelings,
Mrs. Montford had brought her skill and
experience into the sick-room at once, scorn-
ing DR.. Conroy's proposition to install a
hired nurse there, and had shared the
young wife's vigil with unwearied devotion.
Gracie wandered through the house dis
consolately, and even Lotties unvarying
sweetness and care gould not console her
Tor the loss OF her parents society, A tele-
gram had been sent 10 Mrs. Stanford at the
first, and as Isabel was sitting one day in
the darkened chambers, her hands clasped
over her face in deepest detection, the door
opened and light step entered the room.
A pair Of soft arms stole around her neck,

SERIES OF JOINT DISCUSSIONS.



for Truth.
1t has been arranged between Mr., Wal
ter T. Mills, of The Chicago Statesman,
and Hon. Albert Griffin, chairman of the
National Anti-Saloon Republican COM
mittee, to hold series of debates upon
the questions in controversy between the
party Prohibitionists and the Republican
temperance people. The debates will be-
gin about the lst of April. For the east
ern states the appointments will be made
at the Office of The Voice, of New York,
and for the central western states by The
Union Signal, of Chicago.
The arrangements have been made en-
tirely upon the joint responsibility of
Mr.. Mills and Mr.. Griffin, but the
war of words will be none the less
lively, from the fact that the speak
ers are under the auspices of no par
ticular organization. The subject at
issue touches the vital point of the pres
ent political Prohibition question in
nearly all the important states. Mr..
Mills will be the aggressor, exposing the
record of the Republican party, and es-
pecially that of the Harrison admins
tration; and it will rest with Mr.. Griffin
to meet his attacks and retort in kind by
showing wherein the Prohibition party
method is, according to his view. wrong
or inexpedient. Those interested in the
methods of political action on the Pro-
hibition question will recognize the edu-
cational capabilities OF such discussions.
