he said. tenderly.
They put her to bed shortly after
that, but before morning sharp pains
set In and doctor was hurriedly sent
for.
AS the fever rose she grew light
headed and babbled on about father,
and Andy, too. She thought she was
at home again, living again her SIM
pie, humble life.
What is it, doctor?" her husband
whispered, a great fear Juggling at his
heart.
Inflammation of the lungs" the
doctor had answered, briefly.
So, in the luxurious room, the strug-
gle began, the life and death angel
closing in combat. Godfrey Dilling-
ham, in the terrible, trying days that
followed, bending over that slight. be-
loved form, realized for the first time
what his sin had been; the misery he
must have caused his wife, the pride
that had blinded him to all parental
claims. With old Martin Chuzzlewit
he could but exclaim: "Self-self-
self" And now she would die and
leave him.
He walked to the window and look
ed across the bare and frozen fields.
And they have loved her, too," he
.nurmured. ooh, Elizabeth, my wife,
only live, and will make it up a
thousand times"
He would send for them now, he
whispered. AS If in answer to his
thoughts, the kindly physician raised
his eyes.
Better telegraph for her parents"
he said. "she will reach the crisis
before "a hours. and-she may not
pass it."

They kissed her, as she asked, with
