recognize that our game was up. with

1 could see that he spoke as bravely
as he could to comfort Harker. The
poor fellow was quite broken down;
now and again he gave a low groan
which he could not suppress-he was
thinking Of his wife.
With sad hearts we came to my
house. where we found Mrs. Harker
waiting US, with an appearance OF
cheerfulness which did honor TO her
bravery and unselfshness. When she
saw our faces, her own became pale
as death; for a second or two her
eyes were closed as IL she were in
secret prayer. and then she said
cheerfully:
II can never thank you all enough.
Oh, my poor darling!" as she spoke,
she took her husbands gray head in
her hands and kissed it-'Lay your
poor head here and rest ii. All will

The poor fellow only groaned. There
was not place for words in his sub
lime misery.
We had a sort of perfunctory sup
per together, and 1 think 1t cheered
US all up somewhat. It was, perhaps,
the mere animal heat of food to
hungry peopIe-for none of us had
eaten anything since breakfast-or
the sense Of companionship may have
helped us, but anyhow we were all
less miserable. and saw the morrow
as not altogether without hope.
BRAVELY RECEIVES NEWS
OF TERRIBLE DANGERS.
True to our promise We told Mrs
Harker everything which had passed,
and although she grew snowy white
at times when danger had seemed to
threaten her husband. and red at
others when his devotion to her was
manifest, she listened bravely and
! with calmness.
When we came to the part where
Harker had rushed at the count 50
recklessly, she chung to her husbands
arm, and held It tight as though her
cIinEing could protect him from any
harm that might come. She said moth
ing, however, till the narration was
all done. and matters had been
brought right up. to the present time.
Then without letting go her hus-
bands hand she stood up amongst US
and spoke.
Oh that 1 could give any idea of
the scene; OF that sweet, sweet,
good, good woman in all the
radiant beauty Of her youth
ana animation with the red
! scar on forehead, OF which she was
conscious, and which we saw with
grinding Of our teeth-remembering
whence and how it came; her loving
kindness against our grim hate; her
tender faith against our fears and
doubling; and we, knowing that so
far as symbols went, she with all her
goodness and purity and faith, was
i outcast from God.
