At last she stirred, moved restlessly
once or twice, then raised her head
and looked around the room.

is he?"

She fell back upon her pillows, and

Finally Mrs. Graham raised herself
by great effort and beckoned to me.
"On the table in my room." she said,
speaking with difficulty. you will find
some medicine. Drop 1t in water-the
bottle tells how-and bring 1t to me.
But be quick!"
l ran to the little room above and
brought the medicine, dropping it with
shaking hand. and holding 1t to her
lips that she might swallow 1t. In
few minutes her breathing grew less
labored. and she even smiled family.
Don't be frightened" she whis-
pered. II am better now. 1t is all
over-I know these attacks"
Little by little her face grew more
natural. until at last she ceased to
breathe with the short. painful gasp.
and even sat upright among the pill
lows; but 1t was evident she was still
suffering from some shock or distress
Of mind. for she drew me down beside

grip. as though she feared I might
snatch 1t away from her.
Stay with me-" she begged. Don't
leave me. IL cannot stay alone to-

So l agreed to stay. and dispatched
the maid to the cottage with a note

the final moment when. casting all re-

knees beside the couch and prayed
that death might come soon and spare
her further suffering.
"Oh. Harry" she mourned, how
could you? And loved you so!"
1t was Infinitely pitiful. and after a
while. when she grew calmer. she told
me her story. speaking tenderly of the

also. they tell me. At last he came
back to me-so loving, so patient with
my invalid ways, and SO self-reproach-
full at his own thoughtlessness. He had
been yachting, he said; an invitation
came at the last moment, and the let
ter he sent telling me Of his plans
must have miscarried. Could I ever
forgive him?
We'll. I was only too glad to get
him back. and l believed him abso.
lutely. For q while. almost year. we
were very happy again, and was be-
ginning to forget. when he disappeared
again. This time he stayed only two
weeks. but when he returned he made
no apologies. The water called him,
he said. and he must go. He never
told me where he went, nor what he
did, but he gave up his other business,
and yet We seemed to have more
money than ever. He went away
often and stayed for long periods after
that, and for months would not know
where he was. When he came back
TO me he was always kind, always
thoughtful for my comfort, always
ready to talk on any subject except
the one nearest my heart. But he
grew to hate the boy"
His own child?" interrupted
How unnatural"
He said l loved the child better
than I loved my husband" she said
but God knows whether that is true
or not. At last l became III again

he returned 1t was n question whether
or not would live. He was dreadful

CHAPTER XIV,

III you please. miss, could you come
to Mrs. Graham"
This unwelcome summons forced
itself upon me as ! lay luxuriously
reading upon the couch In the living
party.
Did she send for me?"
NO. miss"
Mrs. Graham's servant, a half-grown
girl with face OF surprising stupidi-
ty, stood stolidly before me. the ends
OF n small shawl held under her chin.
and a frightened expression In her
small eyes.
Then, why did you Gomez"
To my surprise. the girl put her
face in her hands and began to cry
with a smiling persistency very an
noying to hear.
I'm scared OF her." she sobbed;
shes that queer. miss. She's went all
blue and stiff-like, and Mr.. Graham

seeing as how you come to the house

you might help me. fur I'm scared to

rose reluctantly. for knew but
little of illness. and was also scared"
of the prospect: but go l must. In
common decency. and alone at that.
for Mary Anne and Elizabeth were out.
and Gabrielle was shut up in her room
with bad cold. the result OF too much
wandering about with thin slippers
the night before.
A chill east wind was blowing, and
I shivered as We hastened down the
path and up the narrow steps.
Mrs. Graham lay rigid upon the
couch. her eyes shut and her lips blue
and plnched. put my hand over her
heart. and its faint fiutter was a great
relief. as had thought her dead.
1T Is only a faint exclaimed. and
directed the bewildered girl to as
sist me in my efforts to revive her. At
leo We were rewarded by a long
drawn sigh, and the lids slowly lifted
from the dark eyes.
The servant had found some brandy,
and I held a little to her lips, motion
Ing her not to speak. but she pushed
the glass aside and sat upright.
1T is bad dream" she said-"only
a dream! Say it-only a dream!"
Only a dream" l repeated. sooth-
insly-"a bad dream
She swallowed a little OF the brandy
and lay back exhausted on the couch.
while l followed the servant into the
kitchen.

manded, sharply.

NO, miss: | don't know nothing"
This statement was so evidently true
that I left her almlessly poking the
fire and returned to my patient.
She lay quite still. with closed eyes.
so I merely drew a chair near the
couch and sat down to walt further
developments. ] waited a long time
The minutes slipped past, and the
room grew elm, for twilight was sp.
proaching- long summer twilight
