OUT OF THE NIGHT

As on the day when first she inelt
in the Mission of the Resurrection,
she had the impression of the throw
ing back of doors which let in great
floods of light, showing all her life
in fresh aspects.
1t was long before she broke ST
lence, for her thoughts worked fast,
and she chased them from point to
point in the stiffness. But at last
she asked, What did you do after
wards-when it was over?"
Il took house for myself there
in the place where Cecil died, and
gave up London life altogether
| fetched Amy from her asylum
with the nurse of whom she was
fond, and took her to live with me-
Cecil left me all his money-a good
deal. 1t was not possible to refuse
it; the idea distressed him too
greatly.
she did grow much better, hap
pier in mind, improved in every way
But she never fully regained her
| full powers. Her life crept always
on broken wing, as Tennyson has
it. She lived with me for twelve
years, and then, one day, quite unex-
pectedly, she died in her sleep, and
the doctors found an unsuspected dis
ease of the heart, which had never
been diagnosed. | was terribly des-
olate when she was dead. But very
soon after that Father Conroy was
asked to come here and found the

congenial people when you came"
And l am congenial?" joyously
asked Vernon.
Yes, indeed. must try not to le:
my feelings bias my advice to YOU
for i freely own that | don't like
to think of your marrying and going
away to Vancouver again"
Il shant do that, whatever hap
pens" said Vernon sharply.
All this time We have never dis
cassed your affairs" cried Evelyn.
Il was so lost in the story of nv
own. l hardly know why told you;
for as | said, my case is very unlike
yours. Poor Amy was only to be pit
led, and Mr.. Gladwyn's wife was
much to blame, apparently. And yet
the whole relationship of husband and
wife does seem to be so imperish
able-sO irrevocable. And you say
that Mr.. Gladwyn took no steps to
find his wife? He just let her go
to ruin without a word?"
1T was too late to interfere" said
Vernon. Everything had happened,
before she let him know They were
halfway to England
Il have sometimes thought" said
Evelyn, in low voice. that that is
the stage at which a woman might

Il don't suppose she thought it was
