The doctor was soon ready, and to.
gcthcr they left the house. She led
him by many turns, through narrow
streets, until she opened door into q
long, dark passage between two
dwellings, and passed in. The doctor
followed her without hesitation. From
the passage they emerged into court
on three sides of which faced series
of dismal and dirty tenements. Into
one of these his conductrcss led him
and up some ricliety stairs. On the
fourth landing she opened Il door and
entered an apartment. In Il moment
they stood beside pallet on which
lay woman. The invalid stirred, and
turning her wan face to them asked
feebly:

Yes, dearest" and turning to him:

The change his name made on the
sick woman was electric. From utter
Hstlessncss she was aroused to the in
tensest excitement. A deep flush over
spread her face, and her eyes sparkled
like Goals as she raised herself upon her
elbow and gazed into his face.
