"1 cannot, I cannot," she gasped, push ing it away. "V"ou must,", I insisted. ''Remember that I am a nhysicisu, that this Is a pres cription, And that your life may depend upon il." "Life!

Tlie little hands dropped nervelessly lute her lap ; the softly veiled lids drooped over tho deep blue eyes. The head fell forward On the breast! Cut, alas I It was a momen tary delusion. In another Ins'ant sbe sprang to her feet again, pressed her haiuls upon tier temples, as if to still their throl bings, aud looked wildly aroand. " Oh, God S she exclaimed, ' I here, smld warmth and comfort, aud Convulsive sobs choked any farther ut terance.

The latter was certainly my thought : but I could detect ' nothing lu the clear, blue eyesof the wanderings of insanity. "Sell her body!" She spoke oflt as an every day transaction. " Great heaven!" I exclaimed, laying my fingers upon her pnlse with the expectation of finding it bounding with race horse ra pidity ) but, on tlw eontrary, finding It far more calm than my own. 'Great heaven! You cannot be In earnest f" "Iain in earnest God alone knows bow much in earnest. It was my last re sort.

Without delay I gathered up such things as I thought might be of service, wrapped the delicate form in a heavy cloak, and, with a few whispered words ol tom fort, w sallied out together la the black1 nicht, aud merciless storm and 4d. Fortunately the distance had to travel was but a short one. A few blocks passed, and she led sue up sev eral flights of dismal, creaking stairs, into a room. "Floieuce, is that you?" 1 licaid asked by what my ear convinced me was a pair of childish, almost Infantile lli. "Yes, my darling, Ho still for a mo ment." , . , "1 am so glad. Toil have beeu so long- so my king away, and I am so sick, and cold, and hungry, anil It was so dark; and I have been so frightened at the strange noises f" My fair guide had been making prepara tions .o obtain a light, but w hen sne heard these words, sho How lo tlie other tdde of tho room, aud I knew many warm kisses were given and returned. ; "Kxctise me, sir," she saM, as she turned and Ushtcd, tlie reininTiit t-f a candle. ;! ' "Kxetise me, but I have been si long away from Ilesslr." 1 I answered not. Her voire had a meJo tly in It, now attuned by love, thatl wWhcxI tit linger unbroken npnn my ear, like tlm suaius of some tones 1 have heard, wbkii hauntad me for ysnrs. ; .1 ; , Inn moment tho candle sited a sickly light around the little room. Little, in deed, and unfiirulshcl to nothingness!. Ono scantily covered bod was all I Uut within I saw a sweet face that made me forget all else. 1 aiproacbod it, and laid my hands on the pulse of ths liUlo sufferer. "Who ate you?" sue "asked, drawing back In alarm. "Ho la a doctor, Ilcssle; a dear, good, kind friend," replied her sister; aud from that moment she heenmt perfectly passive In my hands. , ... It did not require one 1 learned hi tlie science of nwtVri niedira to 8e what was rerpjlred. I made the proper prescription, saw that It was tuntlerly administered, tokl the elder sister that I would be back In a few moments, and resisting all attempts to light me down stairs, groped my way into Urn street. I had noticed an eating Louse at but a little distance, as we camo along, aud, a statement of the case, hackee" by tlie oll-powerftd king of the world, gold, soon procured the loan of a disused stove, a couple of chairs, fuel, light and proper food, and In t brief half hour the little room a ore something like an air of comfort, Anot her hour the eyes (( tho child were closed lu slumber, and I urged her sister to seek re pose, but lu vain. 1 "At least liu down aud H mo raver you w ith my cloak," I urged,.' - j "Xo, doctor," was the constant reply,-. "I cannot, I am so linppy. It must have been God that directed iny wandering foot steps to you." , ...... , ; And so wo sat, wiui lho 'right wind roaring witltout, watching the almost angelic face of the pe:teefuTly slumbering child sat and talked of what I was most anxious to hear. Out the conversation of those long, dark hours can be condensed into a very brief space. - j She who would have sold hot body for the sake of giving a little longer life to her sis ter, was the daughter of st least supposed wealth. Hut a few years previously slip, could have held her lriui as high as the highest. Both birth aod education fitted bcr for it. But misfortune cam, a series of disasters upon land and sea, against which no human forethought could guard, combined with treachery and ingratitude of the deepest dye, swept away all.. In their footsteps followed the death of the mother, leaving an infant but a fow montlis old. The fond father struggled against tlie tide manfully, for a brief time, when bis health gave way, and he followed his wife through the dark valley, and beyond the shining river, leaving the older sitter to provide tor the younger. . " For a time," continued the poor cirl. " I was able to live Comfortably by the sale of tlie furniture and articles of value that I possessed. Then-4.why should 1 1 un bosom myseir to a stranger 7" she asked, stopping suddenly, and "looking1 me full la tlie face. , " 1 " Because," 1 replied, with a smile at her earnestness, " because you have found a true heart, aod one that can feel for you." r : -;' f " Yes, may heaven be thanked ! " I feet that it is so. Well, I struggled on rro, fongbt were the better word," she cont Inued, with the lines about her mouth suddenly becoming hard. I fought for Ufe. tome times teaching, sometimes sewing In abort, doing anything that my strength permitted, until sickness esfhe : still I did t not despair. I was bound to the stake-a sweet one my darling sister. - or the in sult I received while seeking fotwotk,! shall never spesk. They must remain for ever locked up in my own breast ' and the pallid face flushed to scarlet, even at the thought. " And found no employment r' : " None.
