Upon, a shabby bod, and covered with a" patched andi-well- worn quilt, lay a sleeping form- not calmly sleeping, with the peace- fulness of health, but fitfully,1 with nervous starts, mid low, moaning whispers.

For him she had lived: - fov liira: sho had struggled and- suffered not daring to go to. her father's house when.she thought of his proud, stern face, fearing, she knew not what, until the rhahd of death had sent her a suppliant to her father's door, iiot for herself, but to plead for a home for hpr in nocent child.s' " " -j /_ ; "See, he sleeps."
