"Your-Hugh Saville will thank
you and re. ~ you for this" And the
good man walked the room, greatly
moved.
Hope sat down, and, covering her
face with her handkerchief, kept quiet
ly for few moments; then, resuming
her self-control. she began to tell Mr.
Rawson the story of Mrs Saville's Ill

II was very nearly gone. What
seemed to kill mo most was the doubt
whether anybody cared II lived or
died- The last thing remember dis
tinctly was Miss Desmond's sad, anx-
ious face. 1t seemed to say that there
was one human being who would 70
greet me. The first experience of re-
turning life was her tears Of 10y
at the chance Of my recovery. I shall
not soon forget that
Il think she nursed you very dsvot-
edly.-
She did. She has saved my life.
She has made herself almost a necss-
sity. I have been q hard woman, Mr..
Rawson. though not unjust, but some
how this girl. who might well be nv
daughter, suggests to me that there Is
something beyond justice, and that Is
equity"
Then they talked as long as Mr..
Rawson would stay; but he was care
full not to exhaust the convnlescent.
II was a joyful day when Mrs. Sa-
vile FIRST ventured into the salon. and
still more so when she first ventursd
out The day before this event her
eldest son arrived in hot haste. and
for 30 undemonstrative a man. showed
great Joy at finding his mother not
only alive. but rapidly recovering. as
persons OF an untried constitution do.
even after 30 severe q fever. He ex-
pressed his warm acknowledgements
to Miss Desmond for her devotion, and
said the family were under the deepest
obligation TO her
Mrs Savills had gained so much
strength in the next few day that her
son and Mr.. Rawson decided that they |
might leave for London, as with Miss
Desmond and her maid the invalid |
could travel safely as soon as the doc
tor gave his consent
"She is very eager to return said |
Hope to Mr.. Rawson as they slowly |
paced the beach in front OF the hotel
while waiting for the carriage which |
was to convey him and his travelling
companion to the nearest railway-sta-
ton
Yes Do you know why, She con.
fesssd TO me last night The vortigern |
will be at Plymouth and paid of IN |
about four or I'VE weeks, and I bs-
lieve she yearns to see and be recon
ciled to her son; for she said, God has
been merciful and spared me to correct |
some great mistakes. and / dare not
myself be unforgiving
did she say thatr" exclaimed Hopa
~oh. pray God her mood may not

strangely weak and anxious, II seems
impossible I can live through another
