her hand for long, or carry it to my

awful chapter in my life, the subject
seems so hateful to her that l. have
abstained from questioning her, though
| am consumed with curiosity to know
how my sudden appearance out of the
grave, as it were, had affected her.
She evidently fears, too, that the dis
cussion of so painful theme would in

see that she has enjoined Ivan-the
only member of our section besides her
sels who knows of my existence-not to
let me talk of it to him.
When | would speak of 1t, he has
different ways of eluding me. He will
rise hastily, as though something had
lust occurred to him about which he
must consult Maruscha; or he will pre-
tend not to hear me, and put a sudden
question, as:

She is finishing shirt for me to take

roses in the air, reminding me Of the

But am not at home. My eyes have
begun to wander from one detail to an
other of my surroundings; the dainty
toilet table with its gauzy drapery tied
with knots of blue ribbons; the hanging
book shelves against the wall filled with
brightly bound volumes; the crimson
curtain of the portiere that runs along

held to my lips by Maruscha, would
swallow it; but it is bouillon, and the
fumes recommend 1t to my stomach.
When l have drunk it, she deftly turns
my pillow and lays me back.
Now thou wilt sleep"
Her voice is like the COO of the stock
dove. She takes up bit of needlework
from the easy chair, but goes and sits
where she is out of the range of my
vision.
'Where 1 can see thee, 1 pray thee,

She bends forward "Wilt thou not be

she goes to her easy chair facing me,
though she shakes her head.
AS she sits before me, bending over
her work, and l gazing at her, see a
shyness come over her, such as / have

naked, voiceless, with ghastly mark
about my neck-an object to turn from
with shuddering horror-on her thresh-
old. And after? Her brave heart con-
quered her dread! She took me in, put
me in her own white bed, nursed me.
A great sob lifts my breast, and breaks
the stiffness. She looks up startled, and
the needlework falls from her fingers.

powerless on the counterpane.
"Maruscha," | falter, "let me-let me

She flies to me. "My hand, my lips!

She kisses me wildly, not thinking
what she does, out only of pacifyinl me.
"Thou hast been ill-very i'll; thou

thee. Think not of the past, it is over
all over and thou art with me! Think
how / have striven to nurse thee well
and thou wouldst undo all! Fie on thee

Talking thus, she takes her handker

hair from my brow and let's her fingers
rest on it caressingly.
