saving my life. and you look as if |
wanted to murder you" he replied
Il have told you that did nothing for
you that wouldn't have done fora decent
dog. wanted something to do, and |
think God sent me work hope he will
send me more, although | want no one
to suffer; yet if there must be work like
that to do ] want to do it, or l can't
| live"
Harry Forester resorted to mans
usual refuge and declared to himself that
women We're strange beings and he
couldn't understand them" Certainly
this one was not so ready to accept re-
wards or to drop into his arms as he sup
posed. But to leave her now was grow
ing difficult His interest was aroused
Il will not talk of reward then, since
you resent it so, but may come and see
you next October? should like to hunt
these woods, and shall want to see the
girl who saved my life"
"Oh, yes" she answered, with an en-
trancing smile, 81 shall be very glad to
see you; the woods are beautiful then"
The next day DR.. Selwyn came to take
his patient away. I'VE have troubled
you great deal, Miss jamie" he said
''but now you can rest; we shall not dis
turb you for long time" How he
pitied her as he glanced at her pale face
and quivering lips If he could only bear
this trouble for her! But the kindest
thing was to get the parting over and
| this was soon accomplished.
"Out of sight" was not "out of mind, ="
however. witn Harry Forester. He be-
gan to be conscious of an interest in
jamie Burton quite equal to that which
he felt for the walter, and the more he
thought of the matter the more puzzled
he was to know which to swear allegiance
to-the girl who had hirted with him for
a night and forgotten his existence the
next day, or the one who had reached
strong, helpful hands down to the river
of death and lifted him mp as the angel
of the resurrection may do when the
trumpet sounds.
Two weeks under the care of DR.. Sell
wyns good housekeeper and her husband
restored Harry Forester to perfect
| health.
Doctor" said he on the evening be-
fore the day fixed for his departure, Il
shall not see Miss Burton before | leave,
but will tell you what | mean to do.
If | can convince myself that it is the
right thing am coming back here next
October to marry her, or to offer myself
to her, which, of course, is the same
thing, that is, if | don't change my
mind. The fact is, | disobeyed you and
tried to get her to take something else,
but she nearly extinguished me with her
scorn; 50, if this lamb must be sacrificed,
he must, and there is an end of it. AT
ter all, think she will make sensation.
There isn't woman Of her type i'll our
set"
II should think not" replied the doc
tor, savagely.
"Of course she will feel awkward
among society women" continued For
roster fatuously.
Il have no doubt of it. The Madonna
would feel awkward at II progressive
euchre party or high tea, but mother
hood is worshiped in her name just the
same. Let me tell you, Forester, if you
are so fortunate us to win jamie Burton
you will have a wife, your children will
have a mother. and your home will have
a priestess to keep the sacred fires burn
ing on its affairs. Try to realize this, and
try to appreciate the blessing that a
kind fate has in store for you.
