She looked at him wisttuily; how little

Lord Bayneham piled up soft downy
cushions on the couch; he lowered the
blinds and placed the pretty little stand
by her side.
4 vase of rare eXotics stood upon 1t,
filing the room with a summer breath OF
fragrance.

Barbara and my mother can keep every

of breaking it.
Wave after wave of thought rushed
0vcr her heart and mind while the soft
tone Of her husbands voice sounded like
a soothing melody in her ears. Wearied
and tired. and exhausted by want of sleep
and grief, the violet eyes closed gently,

Lord Bayncham saw that she had fallen
asleep; he closed his book and watched
the fair young face he loved so well. Half
an hour passed, and then a change came
over the sleeper. lie saw her lips CULVER,
while long-draWn signs parted them;
then she started up. crying, 1T was not
