Without waiting to see whether
she was obeyed, Magel ran on,
not pausing for breath until she
had reached the front door of the
doctors home.
Together Magel and the doctor
entered the living room. The girl
gave a little gasp at what she
saw. Her aunt was reclining in
a chair, propped up against some
pillows. She was holding the
hand Of the young stranger
tightly in hers. There was a
joyful light in her face, a light
that Magel had never seen there
before.

forced upon her that her aunt

paralysis the old lady had steadily
failed in health.

WONDERING.
They are both! A compete
really means fruit stewed so
that it retains its form. For in
stance, pears cooked so that they
are whole or in halves; or peaches
or smaller fruits and berries.
And compotieres, in French,
means the dish that is used to
hold these compotes of fruits.
From this French word We get
the word compete, an abbrevia-
ton of ccmpotieres. Hence we
speak Of 'compotes of fruit"
