RAINFORTH'S STRANGE CASE.

I sat there by her side chafing her
hands while / watched the life slowly
coming back to her. The shawl she had
worn had slipped from her shoulders,
and now for the first time discovered
: that she was clad In only her night
dress. This left no doubt in my mind
that she was somnambulist.
Now that | had discovered that she
was not seriously hurt great Joy came
to me, and II seemed as IL could have
sat there forever, holding her hand In
mine, forgetting all else save that / was
with the one loved. The very touch of
her hand thrilled me with q strange
ecstasy. A wild tumult of passion
surged through my soul. Mad with the
intoxication Of her presence, the tortur-
ing fear that should soon be separated

ness might not return to her just yet. II
was wild, cruel hope which crushed
back with feeling Of bitter self re-
proach.

and movement told me that this was
beautiful woman even before Isaw her
face. A light shawl Of creamy whiteness
was wrapped about her form, Her head
was bare. her dark hair fell In di-
sheveled mass about her shoulders, and
her loose, flowing garments looked
strangely and intensely white in the sill

AS she drew near the moonlight fell
full upon her face, showing her fea-
lures as distinctly almost as IL 1t had
been day. A startled cry almost rose
to my lips, but died away. Was still
dreaming? Were my senses leaving me,
or what In the name of heaven did 1t
