rest and sleep. The doctor drew his
chair to the hearth, stirred up the
smoldering fire and laid on fresh wood.

she took her position by the bed.

He drew chair opposite his own, and
she came and sat down.
"How good this coffee smellsr' he
said. II have found out the secret Of
your fa1nily's health in the midst Of all
this malaria. Your mother knows
how to feed her children and how to
keep everything pure. She is one of
those who could make the stable in
Bethlehem a fitting place for the advent
Of the King. II your mother and you
should start out and convert all the peo-
pie on the Sender to your way Of living

length, "before he can talk-before he
will be well"
"He will talk q little tomorrow, or
rather today, when he wakes, but he

felt tired, but it will soon be over, the
weather will be hot and there will be
fever all along the Sender. and the days
will be so long"

voice and words that shook the firnness

trembled in spite of his self control as
he replied: Hope for the best, Miss
jamie. Try to think everything will be
as you desire. From my heart l hope
that no disappointment awaits you. but
should it be otherwise be courageous.
You are young. with grand capacity
for happiness and usefulness. Time is
the great healer and consoler.
"There is no trouble, however unen-
durable it may seem, that cannot be
lived through by a brave soul. II we
lose the one great joy Of our lives we
will find that much is left worth living
for. l have seen you walking on the
bluffs in the early morning, breathing
the purer air and gaining health for
your body; remember there are moral
heights to be climbed and health to be
gained for the soul as well. Will you
promise me to try to be a brave girl,
whatever course events may take, during
the next few weeks?"
"Yes, I will try" she said. and burst
into passion of tears.
