had been called from his bed by young

her. comforting her as best she could,
and petting her as a mother might
pet a stricken child The poor girl
was on the verge of prostration, and

fin. "She must, or her brain will give
way. Pm going to give her something
to make her sleep and you must get
her to take it."
So Keziah tried and, at last, Grace
did take the drug. In a little while
she was sleeping, uneasily and with
means and sobbings. but sleeping, nev-
ertheless.
Now it's your turn, Keziah," said
the doctor. You go home now and
rest, yourself We don't need you any
more just now. Now you go home.
You've had a hard night, like the rest
