HER FACE WAS NOT FAIR.

But There Was One to Whom She
Would Always BE Beautiful.
The blind boy raised a rapt face TO
the light
"And my mother?" he said question
ingly. "Tell me how she looks again.
/ shall soon be able to see, and know
shall find one more beautiful than all
the rest and cry: Mother, mother
Why do you not speak?"
His sensitive face was turned re-
proachfully toward his father. "You
have always told me how lovely she Is.
She is little-not taller than my Shout
der-I know that"
The old man laid his arm over the
lads shoulders.
"You must know now what your
blindness would have kept you from
knowing" he said. ''Your mother Is
not fair and beautiful in face, but her
soul is what God made for mother.
When you can see, look for the face
which holds the greatest love. You
will not be mistaken. 1t will be your
mothers"
The great surgeon looked for mo-
ment or two into the sightless eyes and
then turned and laid his hand on the
fathers trembling arm.
"Only God can make him see, my
friend" he said kindly. "Your boy
was born blind, and human skill can
not help him."
The blind boy was the first to speak,
and he laid his arm around the sud-
IDENTIFY aged form Of his father.
'tCome," he said, "let us 60 back to
mother. She will always be beautiful
to me now" and they turned and gave
place to the others.

CHAPTER XVI.

The dreary night watching was new
experience in Alison's life, for she had
been too Young at the time of her moth
er's last illness to share IN the long ana
tedious nursing; the silence and lnactlon
made the hours drag heavily. Roger, ia
tigued with his days work, was sleeping
heavily with his head against the wall.
Alison pitied his weary position, and
fetched pillow from the other room and
put it gently behind his head.
Once or twice she went across the pas
sage TO look at Missile. She was glad to
find her sleeping. Sarah was at her post,
sitting blot upright and nodding. Now
and then her father spoke few words;
once he asked what the doctors had said
Alison was thankful that they had not
informed him of their fears.
s'They do not seem to know, papa"
she returned. gently; they think you
have a great shock, and you are suffer-
ing from nervous exhaustion. They will
tell better by and by"
ssThere seems something wrong with
NV limbs" he muttered uneasily; you
are sure you do not know what they
think?"
"Ouite sure, dear papa" she replied,
80 earnestly that he could not disbeleve
her. "but I hope and trust" her lips
ouivering a little, 'that you may soon be
better"
"You are a good girl, Alison; your
mother always said so, and If I am
spared" He sighed heavily, and turn
ed his face away; and Alison, remember
ing the Doctors Injunction, dared not say
any more, lest it should increase his agi-
tation; she only took his hand and softly
laid her cheek against it, as though she
would show by this action a child's love
and devotion. Her touch seemed to quiet
him, and by and by he dozed little.
Morning came at last, and Roger
reused himself with difficulty.
Alison felt weak and jaded the strain
was beginning to tell even on her vigor-
GUS vitality. She was glad the nights
inaction was over, but she felt too weary
for the days work. But Roger had not
forgotten her; he came back presently
with a refreshed look on his face, and
told her that breakfast was all ready in
the dressing room.
"a strong cup Of coffee has made me
different man." he said, cheerfully !;
you must try my recipe, Allie" And
Alison found the benefit of his prescrip-
ton.
