Clifford lifted her again in his arms,and going out into the adjoining room, he cal led aloud to his uncle. He answered immediately, for he had not retired. His room was iireetlv over Clifford's room,' and he had heard, Judith's excited tones with surprise for Clifford had told him she was buffering wi h one of her severe headache.

The physician said that something was weighing on her mind that the constant thinking of this tiouble had brought on brain fever, but her youth and good constitution would most proba bly bear Up under it This he told Clifford who implored him to do his utmost o save her. . ? 0h, don't lei my child die,doctor den't let her die,' sobbed Aunt Nanny, from her place by Judith" 's bed. The doctor was wondering in his own mind what could have so ehanged his young friend, but before he departed, her ravings revealed all. She would plead to Cliffoid in the most imploring accents not to hate,her. r She would upbTaid Garrison for remaining after all that bad paasednd load herself with the bitterest reproaches for so cruelly deceiving Clifford. Garrison walked the floor ef the adjoining room, and wrung hi hands in, agony He felt that he was in some way connected with this terrible event, for he heard her mingling his name with Clifford's in her ravings - . Clifford's great heart pitied him. His grief was sacied, for he judged by his own how deep it must be. He did nor. know, until she was so fearfully stricken down, how much lie had loved her - Now, it seemed her revelation only etdeared her to him. He thought, if away from his un cle. ahe would lrn to love him. He knew she was good and true how true- her confession had already told; and if ev er man possessed a Christian heart, if was Clifford.
