CHAPTER XVII.

PREPARE TO LEAVE ST. GURLOTTS.
All this time there had been a double shad-
ow on my life; for not only was it darkened
by my unfortunate and despairing passion,
but by anxiety for my uncle. l alone, of all
who knew and loved him, guessed the true
cause of the sorrow which made him,

burden; so that, although not an old man,
he had become prematurely infrm. He still
went about his daily work in the mine; but
feebly, mechanically, and very silently; hut
in the long evenings he sat brOOding by the
fireSide, starting at the sound of foot with
out or a knock at the door, but otherwise
showing little or no interest in the affairs of
life.
Poor Annie noticed the change, and Sc
cretly reproaching herself as the cause, was
ever watchful to attend his slightest wish,
TO answer his most careless look. Her moth
er's SteTnnesS panied her, after al, infinitely
less than the sad endurance of one who had
ever been the tendereSt of fathers. And the
change reflected herself in her; so that 10
one would have recognized, i'll the pale, sUf-
fering woman, the happy, gentle girl who
had once been the light of humble home.
All this troubled me greatly, and made me
naturally anxious to leave the scene of so
much pain. Had beer able in any way to
heal the wounds that misfortune had made,
had even been able 10 speak with free
heart of the trouble which, in one shape or

less. Combined with my great grief, came
oftentime great dread-lest Others should

help counting the hours till the day came
