CHAPTER Y.

Days, many days, went by, and still
Don lay in the same state, Sometimes
shivering, sometimes burning with
fiery heat sometimes slumbering in
the deepest torpor; often wakefully
alert with the activity of distraught
mind wandering back to scenes and
times of which his watchers knew
nothing-even back to days Of early
boyhood, when he and Roddy had
fished together in Cadets slvery
stream, and never dreamed of jealousy
or severance in years to come.
BY and by, as the days heightened
into weeks, there came lucid intervals,
nigh speechless, but perfectly con-
scious of his surroundings. And If at
those times Lille CHANGED to be his
nurse he would lie and gaze upon her
with look of dog-like devotion in his
great brown eyes, often even try to ut
ter some feeble words of gratitude or
contrition for her being there. Whilst
even as he strove to speak that deadly
oblivion would return and blot out past
and present alike.
And meanwhile Lille watched by
him and waited upon him with a jeal-
GUS steadfastness that scarce could
brook to share her vigils with his 9TH
err nurses-they who could minister to
the sufferers wants perhaps more eff
GENTLY than Lilies self, but could ex-
perience none of the young wlfe's Bit
ter JOY which made every little duty an
act of devotion.
For she saw his strength ebblng
hour by hour as the fever worked out
its course. She saw his wanderings
become more frequent, those fatal tor
pors more prolonged, and those mo-
ments Of weak consciousness grow few
err and fewer And gradually, but all
too surely, the awful fear began to
dawn upon her that Don and she were
to be called upon to part by decree
more relentless than hers. Yet, oh, 1t
could not be that he should die-die
and leave her thus, without knowing
she had come to realize her life was
bound up in l,& for time and for eter-

| away to partake of a strong cup of tea
and some refreshment to fit her for the
long hours of watching which lay be-
fore her, for she insisted on the nurse
not being summoned at least till morn
ing, as the doctor himself meant to
be in close attendance ON his patient
at night. In his heart he deeply pitied
the fair young bride, who evidently
loved so deeply the stalwart bride
groom stricken down to the very gates
of DEATH
Yes, Lille loved Don, even as she
had never loved him till now. 1t was
not until he lay before her thus, in the
extremity of helplessness, till, pride
and pity both forgotten, and nothing
but infinite tenderness filling her soul,
she realized the depth of that love,
Strong as DEATH which could for
give, even as Christ forgave, and rest
on the atonement of the Redeemer
alone, She watched by his pillow while
the long night dragged on, and he still
lay unconscious, motionless, almost
breathless.
She shed no tears, but now and then
she prayed-prayed as perhaps she had
never prayed before. Sometimes she
put her fingers on his pulse to feel if
it still beat; and so she waited, waited,
while the doctor came in and out, eX-
pecting every moment that change
which did not come. but which must
come at last.
1t came when the wild night was
waning towards daybreak, with a
qu!clening of the languid pulse and
the faintest tinge of color to the pallid
cheek. She stopped over him, bellev-
ing, with all novices delightful hope,
that these siSns were signs of improve
ment; but the color mounted to hec-
tic flush, the pulse throbbed faster and
faster, and suddenly he started up and
looked at her with strange wlldness in
his eyes.
al will go! will go!" he cried. But
you will believe me?"
She sprang up and threw her arms
about his neck, uttering incoherent
words of love and passion; but he had
fallen back on his pillow, painfully
flushed now, and his breath came in
hot gasps. M f
"She will not kiss me! My darling
twill not kiss me! Never again!" he
moaned. What was it she said? 'All
that is over now How can ever for
get what has broken my hearth"

nityl That his sin must be her sin,
and its atonement hers also as well as
his!
Who shall gauge the bitterness OF
those pleadings which hurst from her
aching heart through those long vigils
of waiting? For it was known to her
God alone There came night at last,
as they neared the white cliffs of Eng
land that after continuous hours OF
fitful slumber Don opened his eyes and
fixed them upon her face. 1t was ap-
preaching the hour when she usually
relinquished her post to the nurse, and
she was kneeling by his side in silent
prayer, her cheek resting upon his pill
low, her locked hands leaning gently
on his breast.
A strange reluctance "a leave him
had fallen upon her, and more than
once she had passionately pressed her
lips to the short, silky brown curls
aSout his temples
"Lillie," he spoke wistfully.
1t was barely above a whisper bus
she heard it with a great bound of her
beating heart, for she knew this was
real consciousness at last.
"Llllie," he repeated family, SO
family that she had to stoop close to
his lips to catch the words, where are
we now?"
I'VE are very nearly home. In few
hours we shall be in the Solent."
Che ,,.or +t,,+
tested no surprise. 1t was as if his
active brain had been speeding on
ward with the ships throbbing en-
gines; as if he, too, while his fragile
barque drifted towards the unknown
shore, had been dlmly conscious of the
great sea of time and space.
Lille" he spoke again, with la
bored difficulty, when we reach
Southampton will you wire to Roddy
and Di to come to me?"
Hot tears welled up into her eyes
and fell upon the wasted hand he
strove to lift and lay on hers.
1--WE will go over to the Isle OF
Wight to them. Wouldn't that be bet
ter, DOM"
"If you will not mind the trouble"
he said, with all the trustful depend
ence of little child. And then sud
denly, with fluttering breath, he spoke
again, so family she could scarcely
hear. 81 dreamt just now you kissed
me. Lille, would you promise not to
leave till the end?"
She broke down then, and flung her
self upon his breast.
ooh, Don! Don. Don't you under
stand? 1 will never leave you-never
never!" she cried.
His fingers closed upon hers with
feeble pressure and look almost of
rapture swept his face. Then, still
holding her hand. he fell asleep.

RICH my MEMORIES.
The Long iN-EIeeted HArrison AIapsioD
Finds q New owner

The long-neglected Harrison man
sion at North Bend, o., has been pur-
chased recently by Mrs. o. H. Hall OF
Cincinnati, for the sum of $4,000, and
is to be preserved in commemoration
of the illustrious men who have been
sheltered within its walls. 1t was built
in 1914 by Gen. William Henry Harri-
son, who presented it to his bride.
There he dwelt until he went to the
White House, and where his nine chill
dren and his illustrious grandson,
Benjamin Harrison, were born. AT
the time the house was built Harri-
son was governor of the Northwestern
Territoy, and as the conqueror of Te-
cumseh was a national hero. Those.
were exciting days, times of great per-
sonal danger, and no conveniences,
and the Harrison mansion, simple as
it was, was regarded then as arlsto-
cratic and stately. The hospitality OF
its halls was famous. Not day pass
ed that 1t did not afford entertainment
for many guests. 1t is said that on
occasions no less than sixty guests sal
down together at the long mahogany
tables in the great sun-lit dining hall.
1t is said that the bride was not con-
tent unless her cook served three
kinds of meat on the festive board at
times when cattle were scarce, when
settlements were hundreds of miles
apart. But wild duck and the fish In
the rivers were plentiful, and no
group of strangers or guests ever pass
ed the gate in their days journey who
were not begged to remain and share
the prodigal generosity Of their host
and hostess. In those days the estate,
now sadly dwindled to seven acres,
was composed of 600 acres. From
Gen. Harrison the estate passed to his
son, John Scott Harrison, gentle,
amiable man, with no financial abil-
ity. He lived there until his death in.
1873 his property gradually diminish
ing until at his death he was actu-
ally a dependent Benjamin Harrison
was born there and it was his home
until his marriage, when he moved to
indianapolis. For years the old
house has been vacant. The gardens
have been overrun with wild, insolent
weeds, the fields deserted, the great
rooms and halls lonely and dead. Not
even the ghost of former laughter and
hospitality has echoed for years along
its spiral staircases. The spider, pitt
full tenant, has swung his tent ropes
from rafter to rafter. The lofty heads
CT the old oaks sigh among their lofty
crests at the saddened picture
