with indifference by some morose mas
ter, still waits on and watches him
with patient devotion. but it was easy
to see how she longed for kind word
or even a loving glance and longed in
vain. At last. when the end was very
near, I could forbsarno longer. 1t was
clergyman's business perhaps more
than mine, but my patient had declined,
and with no little vehemenee for one
so weak, to see clergyman, and l
took my courage, for, strange as it
may seem, 1t needed courage, in both
hands and spoke to her. r
"Have you not one word, even Of
farewell, Lucy, for the sister who has
nursed you so tenderly9"
There was struggle within the pant
ing bosom, added to the fight for breath,
but the lips moved, and what they
formed was the monosyllable emo" In
the faint sound I recognized G.stinct
touch of bitterness.
"Iknow not what you have suffered"
I went on, land it may be (this struck
me for the first time) even at her hands,
but / know what she has suffered and
is suffering now for your sake. Forgive
her il she has done you wrong as you
yourself hope to be forgiven. Look at
her, it may be for the last time, and
bid her kiss you."
Into the dying eyes, as she turned
them on her sister, there came look of
ineffable sweetness, and she feebly
stretched her arms toward her in invi-
tation Of an embrace.
Rebecca fell on her knees beside the
wretched bed with cry in which for
the moment sorrow seemed to have been
swallowed up in joy. To have been the
witness Of what followed would have

her hands crossed, "as if praying dumb

poet occurred to me as ] looked at her,
but it was that line alone which had
any application to her case. That she
had not fallen, whatever sin she had
committed, though she looked an angel,
as Hoods unfortunate had done, I felt
certain. Her story was no common one
Of the streets and the river. Everything
that loving hands could do had been
done for her to the very last service.

tried her firmness, spoke of what was
necessary, OF course took upon my
self all the arrangements Of. the funer-
al, but had to ask her question about
the death certificate.
II do not know your sisters married
name" / said.
"she was never married." was the
unexpected reply.
My eye wandered interrogatively to-
the wedding ring upon that delicate
finger, on which the needle had loft no
trace. 1t had, indeed, done little work
Of any kind. But Rebecca only shook
her head.
"Then will give your sisters maid
en- name, Bent.
"She was not my sister, sir. She was
no relative Mt all. Put down Lester"
"No relative? Then, indeed, Rebec-
ca, you may say you have done your du-
ty to your neighbor. :"
"My dutyl" she answered with bitter
scorn and throwing up her great, gaunt
hands. ut was who murdered her,"
It was not till some days afterward,
when Lucy had been laid to rest in the
cemetery, that I heard from Rebecca
what she believed to be the story Of her
crime. 1t was exaggerated, emotional,
and am very sure represented the case
only as it appeared to mind full Of
remorse and self reproach.
I prefer, for truths sake as well as
hers, to give the facts as they would
have struck an unprejudiced Observer
Lucy Lester was the daughter Of
tradesman well to do and who made his
money honestly enough, but he was
Puritan and of the striotest sect Of the
Pharisees. His wife had died when
Lucy was still child, and she was
brought up in an atmosphere of gloom
and aullness very unsuited to her char
acter, which was at once frivolous and
egotistic. Her beauty, Of which she was
only too conscious, was pronounced by
the formal society with whom she mixed
to be snare (as indeed, it proved to
beg, and every amusement to which she
naturally inclined was sternly forbidden
her. Rebecoa, who had been her nurse
and when she grew up became her maid,
sympathized with her young mistress,
to whom she was also genuinely at
tached, and made common cause with
her against her prosecutors, as she called
them though they included her parent
himself. He was very thrifty and kept
Lucy "short' as to pin money, and Re-
becoa wko, as she told me flor she
spared herself in nothing), was Every
greedy Of gain" on a very low scale Of
wages. 1t was sad and rather sordid
story Of severity and repression met by
duplioity and intrigue. What redeemed
it was the disinterested though exagger-
ated fealty Of Rebecoa, which would
have borne comparison with that Of
feudal times. Except for her singular
beauty, there was nothing admirable in
Lucy, who indeed was proud, selfish
and exacting, but in Rebeoca's eyes she
was perfection and a martyr, fit for a
prince, but with no choice Of suitors
save Of commonplace and unworthy
kind, and who, never having seen a
stage play, had no notion of the desir.
pbility Of making friend Of the maid
of their mistress.
Presently, however, lover appeared
Of quite another stamp. but unhappily a
clandestine lover. Mr.. Power was ono
