liz tie morning Miss SheTord told him
Caa was still asleep. that she had had a
Esose tranquil night, but yet il was bet
ter Sos TO disturb her. as the sleep would
probably do her so mach good.
And Trenharn sad quite rigat. If
g0n before she wakes, Miss SheEord,

early ~ | can. but that | have business
IN Alton. which will take me most Of
the day.
On bis return be was told that his wife
stEll slept, and now the tidings seemed
10 surprise him-just a little.
-Can IL be weilf- he ASKED Miss Shelf

hsr TO Ind me here. And indeed, Miss
Sae5ord. yoo need a night OF undisturbed
rest
So be sat through the night beside his
wife, painfully awake himself,
keenly alive TO every iow-drawn

day. but that abe would come a. early az
she could this morning"
Hardly yss," Rourke said 1T IL too
But he WAS wrong, for Lorraine and
br father drove over, even before the
day had fairly settled on the
sarm. Still Una had o O awakened and
AthoI had not yet corne.
Rcurxe was sitting In his wife's room

sweet. sleeping face.
-Oh. Rourke. when win Athoi cpmeY"
~Eoon, ! trust /: but why are you anx-

-Because / want you TO awaks Una,
