It is true that Sophia made many reso

chains had been forged so strong that she
found the task of breaking them more diffi
cult than ever. Her old weakness con

continued her struggles, they finally grew

As she ascended tlio steps she thought
she heard voices, and a sudden fear came
over her, for there was sor'ow and indig-
nation in the speakers, and among them she
fancied she recognized her lover. Tilled
with remorse, she tottered up to the door,
and, pushing it open, saw a scene that she
never forgot.
On the humble pallet lay a palo and
beautiful face, whose icy look of repose too
plainly evinced that the countenance was
that of a corpse. liy tho bedside stood an
aged physician, sorrow and indignation al-
ternalcly in his face as ho gazed on the
dead. ear lum was a woman, meanly at

was Sophia's lover, standing with folded
arms and a stem brow, silently rcnardini:
the corpse.
