, So the world went on, Jut Cornelia's
heart stood still, and at the end of the
third week things came to this-her
father looked at her keenly one morn
ing and sent her instantly to bed.
She has typhoid, or am much
mistaken" he said to the anxious
mother. Why have you said nothing
to me-"
John! John! What could / do?
She would not hear of my speaking
to you. | thought it was only sorrow
and heart-ache."
Only sorrow and heart-ache! Is
not that enough to call typhoid or
any other death? What is the trou-
bic? Oh. need not ask, l know it is
that young Hyde. What is left us
row. is to try and save her dear life"
said the miserable father. Suffering
we cannot spare her. She must pass
alone through the Valley of the
Shadow; but it may be she will lose
this sorrow in it's dreadful paths"
rms was the battle waged in DR..
Moran's house for many awful weeks.
One day, while she was In extremity.
the doctor went himself to the apothe-
cary's for medicine. AS he came out
Or the store with it in his hand, Hyde
locked at him with a steady implora-
tion. He had evidently been waiting
his exit.
Sir he said, Il have heard a re.
port that l cannot, | dare not be-
lieve."
Believe the worst-and stand aside,
sir. | have neither patience nor words
for you"
Your daughter? Oh, sir. have some
pity"
My daughter is dying"
Ihen, sir, let me tell you, that your
behavior has been so brutal to her.
and to me, that the Almighty shows
Doth kindness and intelligence in TAX
ing her away"-and with these words
uttered In a blazing passion of indig-
nation and pity, the young lord crossed
to the other side of the street. leaving
the doctor confounded by his words
and manner.
There is something strange here"
he said to himself; the fellow NAV be
as a as bad can be, but he neither
locke nor spoke as if he had wronged
Cornella. II she lives | must get to
the bottom OF this ~alIair."
With this admission and wonder.
the thought of Hyde passed from his
mind. for at that hour the issue he
had to consider was one of life or
death. And although it was beyond all
hope or expectation, Cornelia came
back to life. But she was p~erilously
delicate, and the doctor began to
consider the dangers OF her GONZALES
vence.
Ava" he said one evening when
Cornelia had been downstairs awhile,
1T will not do for the child to run the
risk OF meeting that man. He spoke
to me once about her, and was out
rageously impudent. There is m
thing strange in the affair, but how
can | move in it?"
1T is impossible. Can you quarrel
with a man because he has deceived
Ccrnelia? You must bear and l must
bear"
THE best plan is to remove Cor.
nelia out of danger. Why not take
her to visit your brother Joseph at
Philadelphia? He has long desired
you to do SO. Make your orange
ments as soon as possible to leave
New York"
you are sure that you are right in
choosing Philadelphia"
"Yes-while Hyde is in New York.
Write to your brother to-day, and as
soon as Cornelia is a little stronger, l
will go with you to Philadelphia"
