aged to Tell Lillian.

I WENT to Lillian's room by way OF
the kitchen. Betty had summoned mo
an hour earlier to the room where she
ruled supreme.
"How's Mis- Lillian" she had de-
manded.
Sleeping returned laconically.
well, when she wakes. yoh come In
mere an get cup Of hot coffee foh her.
Is maxim It fresh every fifteen minutes,
go 1t won't never be too old. an II won't
waste minute fob yoh to takc It to her.
Mis- Lillian ksint nebbah do nuffin'
without her coffee nohow."
She was rs good as her word. As she
saw me como into the room she whisked
tho coffee pot from the stove. deity
poured a cup. added cream and sugar
in the proportions which long experience
Of Lillian's tastes had taught her. and
handed It to me on tiny tray.
''Taint no use oarryin' UP nuffn
else" she said. "shs won't tech It. but
yoh must git dis down her."
ia Robert"
''Thank you, Betty. I'll see that she
drinks It," promised, and as carried
the steaming cup upstairs reflected
upon the queer combination Of insolence
and dog-like fnlthfulnsss that Betty
was.
Lillian sat UP with . start when I
touched her shoulder.
"Oh. what Is it?' she demanded q
trife wildly. "Is Robert"
Nothing has happened I said quick
iy. answering the tortured query in her
eyes But tho nurse thinks Robert will
rouse soon. 20 drink this coffee Betty
sent UP. and we'll 60 to him immedi-
ately."
She reached for the cup with hand
that trembled. I held It to her lips. and
she drained II quickly. Then brought
her shoes and a house gown. and after
she had twisted up her heavy silver hair
! slipped my arm through hers. walked
beside her across the hall to the door OF
Robert savar!n's room. She was visibly
trembling. pitifully unlike her usual
poised self. and "a Mrs. Cosgrove, who
had been sitting outside her brothers
door, rose 10 meet her felt my friends
body culver with nervousness as the.
elder woman put out her arms to her.
The nurses eyes keenly appraised us
all as che opened the door OF the sick
room ana came out to uS.
"Yss, Robert"
will you come In now, Mrs. Under
woodT" she asked quietly. II wish him
10 eeo face he knows first. A strangers
might upset him."
Lillian gavs Mrs. Ccsgrovs . slight
push toward the door.
You ought to see him flrst." she said.
Robert Savarin's sister smiled q little
sadly.
Robert wouldn't think So" she an.
swered. go to him, my dear"
Lillian waited no longer. but crossed
20 the bed and sank to her knees beside
It, The nurse watched her keenly,
turned to US.
"you may come In also" she said in
q low voice. "if you make no sound and
stand OF the head of the bed SO he won't
see you at first. I may-need YOU
knew she was thinking OF Lillian. and
my own heart was filled with misgiving
as Mrs. Cosgrove and I moved noise
lessly to a position at the head of the
bed. The nurse was carefully measuring
by means Of q medicine dropper a color
less liquid into o spoon, and felt my
own heart beat high with excitement as
I realized that the awakening OF Rob-
ert Savarin to life must be near.
couldn't see his face distinctly. but
know the instant that the heavy lashes
lifted from his brown eyes-knew 1t by
the light that famed suddenly in Lil-
han's face. Then We heard his voice
only an echo Of its former resonant
beauty.
''Lillian" ne breathed.
Yes. Robert" the simple words were
q wealth OF tenderness enveloping him.
The nurse stepped forward noiselessly.
without word put the spoon of color
less liquid In Ldllian's hand, and with
drew again.
"who-is-that,'' the sick man asked
weakly.
Swallow this and TIL tell you" LII
Han responded, putting the spoon to his
lips. and he obeyed her. As he did SO his
eyelashes dropped over his eyes again,
and Lillian glanced UP ut tho nurse In
sudden terror. But the other woman
smiled at her reassurinsiy. and in an
other moment Robert Savarin spoke
again with voice perceptibly stronger.
"I-I-failed. dear. Misunderstanding
.-you--definite-news. But--when l.
neutrality-suspicious. - he - had
gone"
