A Sudden MESSAGE.

Man alive!" exclaimed Iemuel
Johnson as he stood beside his brother
one morning, with DIR. Dunwiddie and
DR.. Grey, explaining to him a plan by
which they hoped to benefit his condi-
ton and hasten his recovery Map
alive, Joe!"i exclaimed the excitable
little man, thrusting his hands into
his pockets, his f1orid face growing
redder, his eyes sparkling with indig-
nation. Have you no sense at all?
Have you no pride, no common ambi-
ton to get well? To make a success
of life? Would you rather lie here
growing less and less capable of any
thing, like an indolent tramp, and
keep on suffering straight ahead for
years maybe, when by perfect care in
this hospital. or infirmary,. or what
ever it is, in the city something may
be done for you, and you would be
set up like new man ready for any
position and to build up as good a
home as any man living? Why, great
Scott. Joe Johnson, If you are my
brother and the only one I've got,
must say I'd be ashamed to own you
II you refuse"
The invalid was growing excited also.

He struggled up to a sitting position,
half reclining on his right arm, and
glared at his brother as an infuriated
animal at bay.

his forehead swelling like cords, his
small eyes glittering like serpents.

The subject of the mare was never

dropped out of the house as suddenly
and completely as though death had
touched it; that day Dora gave her
cousin sketch of the feeling regard

them understood the girls horror of it,
excepting it might be the one who
had seen the most of her emotion.
Sometimes the girl was tempted to ask
about it, but the dread of bringing

yet growing no worse. DR.. Dunwiddie
knitted his brows and looked very
grave and puzzled many time after
his visits; he did not like the appear
ance of things; they were going crook
ed; something must be done and at
once. He did not wish to arouse the
thought of such thing in the minds
of Johnson himself or Dolores; in fact
he wished to keep it from Johnson

cunning; it grew livid and paled to a
deathly hue. His sinister eyes were
fixed on the doctors face with an
expression of cowardly terror in them.

were uttered clearly and calmly, but
which the man was unused'to hearing,
and which therefore impressed him
more than they might have done other
wise, full of meaning and warning as
they were.
He lay among the pillows with his
face turned to the wall, motionless
as though he were already dead, his
sinewy right hand clutched the cov-
ering long after his brother and the
doctors left, not knowing that through
the half open door Dolores, from the
outer room, was watching him with
a face set as his own, her hands
clasped passionately, her lips shut
close to still the cry that rose from
her heart, that found words only in
a new, wild, inarticulate prayer.
God, whom know not, forgive
him-forgive him"

emotion upon her face or in her man

lace draperies with one arm leaning
against the casing of the large French
window, and looked like picture, so
quiet she stood. flushed from the light
of the sunset above.
Dora was sitting upon the ottoman
at her feet, her delicate face raised
to the face above her. Dora said
she could sit forever at Dolores feet
and watch her. Dolores face was a
