CHAPTER XIV.
THE LETTER.

There is a magic in the refreshing
sleep of youth calculated to exercise
the megrims. When Sprague, arising
after a good nights rest, found the
world bathed in the sunshine of
crisp January day. he felt the physical
pleasure of living which comes from
supple muscles. from the coursing OF
generous blood through the veins.
from the cravings of a healthy appe-
tite.

human race would soon become eX-
tinct.
So the young mans thoughts ran on,
while hope once more found a resting
place in his heart.
Miss Murdoch was not TO pose again,
but Sprague Mas eager TO work on the
portrait. He was about to step into
the studio after breakfast, when the
housekeeper announced a call from his
lawyer, who wished TO consult him
about some important matters. The
entire morning was thus consumed in
necessary but tedious business, and it
was not until after luncheon that the
artist was at last free TO set to work.
Uncovering the portrait, he stood off
to examine it, AS he did so, something
white upon the floor caught his eye.
lie stopped to pick it up. 1t was let

hand. Mechanically he turned it over
and unfolded it, His eyes carelessly
swept the written page; then in flash
he realized what it was, and he flung ii
violently from him.
Only few words had left their i'm
press upon his retina-a few scattered
words and a signature. But these were
branded deep upon his brain for all
time, in letters Of fire which burned
their way to his very soul. For he had
recognized the letter which had been
delivered by the messenger to Miss
Murdoch the day before, and he had
seen enough to know that it was
couched in words of passionate love. In
that instant was quenched the last ray
of hope which had lurked within his
heart, Overwhelmed with a sense oil
utter desolatiou, he sank back upon O
divan, and for a long time remained
lost in bitter reflections.

hand injured in the Lonsdale mill In

After the injury Mr.. Bresnahan was

nesses say that erysipeias set I'm owing TO
her husband having been improperly

with James NJ. Gilrain as counsel for the
defence, objected 10 the question, as pc
claimed the evidence showed Bresnahan
was weak from the loss of blood when the

Mr.. Miller of Miller & Carroll, counsel
for the defendant, argued that he meant

cident.
Judge Dubois thought the jury would
remember the testimony and gave the
plaintiff an exception.
