OWENS CANYON.

~ 1WEN'S hope and bright cour
W age, in spite Of al! her pain,
E=R were wonderful to witness.
u But all this CHEEKY hope and
courage and patience snuffed out as q
candle, leaving noisome darkness to
settle down in that sick room, from The
day Of the doctors consultation.
The verdict was clear and final. The
old doctor, who loved Gwen as bis
own, was inclined to hope against
hope, but Fawcett, the clever young
doctor from the distant town, was
positive in his opinion. The scene Is
clear to me now, after many years.
We three stood in the outer room. The
Duke and her father were with Gwen.
| So earnest was the discussion that
none of us heard the door open just as
young Fawcett was saying In incisiye
tones:
"No! I can see no hope. The child
can never walk again."
There was a cry behind us.
"What! Never walk again? It's
lie" There stood the Old Timer, white
fierce, shaking.
"Hush!" said the old doctor, point
ing at the open door. He was too
late. Even as he spoke there came
from the inner room a wild, unearth!
cry as Of some dying thing, and, as
we stood gazing at one another With
awe stricken faces, we heard Ovens
voice as in quick, sharp pain.
Daddy! Daddy! Come! What do
they say? Tell me, daddy. 1t Is not
rue! 1t is not true! Look at me,
daddy"
She pulled up her fathers haggard
face from the bed.
"Oh, daddy, daddy, you know its
true. Never walk again"
She turned with a pitiful cry to the
Duke, who stood white and stiff. with
arms drawn tight across his breast on
the other side of the bed.
"Oh, Duke. did you hear them? YOU
told me to be brave. and I tried not 70
