THE HIRED CARRIAGE.
BY BERTIE BAYLE.
Well, yes, ma'am; as you say,
we nurses do sometimes see very
romanc torics under our eyes.
If Icould write down all the

Ethel Sunderland.
I was sent for to nurse her
through a dreadful attack of lung
fever when she was only seven
teen. Her father was pretty nearly
out of his mind about her, for she
was tne only child, and her
mother was dead.
They had relatives, like other
people, but none living with them,
and the house was under the care
of a regular housekeeper. But
Mr. Sunderland was very rich,
and entertained a srrcat .deal of
the housekeeper, had not time to'
regularly nurse Miss Ethel, who
needed constant care.
She was the prettiest little crea
ture, with big, soft brown eyes,
and a ciop of brown curls, and as
sweet and patient as she was
pretty.
. All the winter she was kept in
her "room; but when the spring
opened the doctor ordered her to
have a dnve outside the town
every fine day, especially ordering
that she was to be carried down
the stairs, as she was very weak
and still short of breath.,
Mr. Sunderland, though he
was a rich man did not keep a
carriage. He bad waited for that,
he said, until Miss Ethel was a
young lady.
So he went to a livery stable
and ordered an open barouche
for every 'fine afternoon, beine
particular to speak for a careful
driver, and one strong enough to
carry his daughter down the
stairs.
Of course I was to go
