shouts to disturb him--from noises the

attic, twas as still as still could be.
No medical aid was lacking; his serv-
ants answered his ring respectfully
answered his orders, and supplied him
with everything. But still there was
something wanted, which he could not
command-the kindly words of com
passion, the touch of a gentle hand.
And he said, as his brow grew darker,
and he rang for the hireling nurse
