those eyes seemed to inquire, as she
gently raised herself on her elbow to
examine the cell.
The watchers were silent from awe
and pity; but the narrow stone walls,
the iron door, the grated window,
sternly though mutely answered the
questioning gaze.
And as the truth slowly grew upon
her memory, her face changed from
it's look of girlish curiosity to one of
terror and anguish, and with pierre

and covered her eyes with her hands.
The kind women that filled to her
the double office of warders and at
tendants, took her hands from her
face, and began to address her with
words of sympathy; but what words
of theirs had power to reach her heart,
snatched far away from ordinary hui
man comprehension as she was by
her great woe!
She never answered or even seemed
to hear them. After the first sharp
business, she la in silent anguish:

Mrs. Barton, as she poured the water
into the basin. and took the hand of
Eudora to assist her to rise.
In mute despair tne poor girl suffer

followed all Mrs. Barton's directions.
