She sat erect, white face!, but with a quiet dlgnty that hid the tumult within. She lifted one hand and pu.,hed back the stray soft curls from her forehead in a dazed fashion.

As to Dora, she has had all the teachers and masters necessary to an excellent education; she is an exquisite musician; her touch on the piano Is like magic, and her voice Is soft and sweet, but she' does not sing " now. Her singing used to be her fathers delight. A shadow fell over the face of the nurse, and she was silent for a moment. looking Into the fire with a far away expression on her face. The bedroom door opened noiseless-lyl- , and she turned calmly in answer to Dr. Dunwiddle's summons, every trace of emotion gone. She left the room for a few minutes, and when she returned her voice and manner weie quiet, as usual. Dora draws and paints very well," she said, resuming her seat and her story; "she teaches several children from the mission school. None of her time Is Idled; she has her father's ambitious spirit, and her life is full of work In spite of tho fact that this disease is slowly eating her life away. Each one of the children loves her; she sometimes tells me, laughing, that she has so many blessings she canrot count them. To hear her talk one would never Imagine the nights I have held her up In my arms that she might breathe while she coughed her beau-tillife away. Dolores leaned forward, with luminous eye; for the time she forgot her father, and the dread awaiting for the men to come to prove the malice prepense in the laming of the mare. The world of which the woman told was outside of her world; It was the world of her dreams. Silence reigned In the room for a few minutes; the nurse arose and drew the little half curtains across Ihe wlndfws. When all was arranged for the night, even to preparing a bed In the corner on the settee. Mrs. Allen drew her chair up to the fire again, and resumed her story. face was troubled her Dolores thoughts had returned to her father, to young Green and his efforts to save her father somehow mixed with his words lately uttered, of love and Us sadness; and of the trial that was to come off as. soon as her father was She started able to go to prove at sound of the nurses voice and grew white to the lips. This did not escape the watchful eyes of the nurse. There was little that did escape her watchful eyes. Doras father did not know whether or not his brother was living. she went on. That the letter had been returned uncalled for, went to prove that be might be dead; hut he knew that hla brother had no friends outside of the settlement and was not In the habit of receiving letters. That he could neither read nor write still left it possible that be was living, and when Dora made known her wish to come here, to see her fathers old home, arrangements were made at once. We arrived in the town over the mountain yesterday. They are stopping at Judge Green for the present and Dora sent me here at once when Mr. CharHe wrote for help. She said It was one of God's providences; that he had arranged things for us and were only to obey. The Interest died out of Dolores eyes. She knew nothing about God or I Is providences; sho had never heard either except as a wandering preacher stopped at the settlement on his way through the moutalns, and was Jeered at by the men and listened to by only a handful of women. The nurse leaned bark so that her fare was In shadow, but so that the girl fare was full In her sight. "Dora had been In tho town but a day, yet she had found out a great deal that sho wished to know. Every one In the town has heard of your father. Of you no one knew much excepting Mr. Charlie. He told tny girl over and over what he knew about you: she never tired of hearing and planned such pleasant things for you nnd your father, and knows the will love you at once.

"I hope bo, replied one of the docIt Is a severe case." tors gravely. Yes." young Green said. A furrow of thought appeared on his forehead. He stood silent a moment, his blue eyes meeting the black ones of the doctor, squarely, as though he would see down into his very soul. Then he passed from the room, noiselessly closing the door behind him. For a moment he stood behind Doloies fireporing over the books In the saw nor heard him; She neither light. she was tracing out one of the constellations on the map before her, her was lips were parted as though she smiling. The face of the watcher underwent many charges In the short minute he stood there In the flickering light and darkness behind her chair; then he turned silently away and passed out of th room without disturbing her. He took down his hat and doat from one cf the tails In the room and went out Into the storm as though be we re dazed by some sudden startling thought! By and by, when the nurse came out of the room, Dolores closed her book slowly, as though with regret, and gathered up her hair, twisting it about her graceful bead carelessly. The color and fire died out of her face and eyes as she arose to prepare supper. But Mrs. Allen Interrupted he". "Sit still. Miss Johnson, she said, cheerily, "and read your book, but not by this light; I will fetch a candle. She took down a candle from the shelf and lighted It with a strip of pine wood from the fire. She pulled out the clean pine table noiselessly, and set It; she cut seme thin slices of bread and toasted them before the fire. When they were done to an exquisite turn, she buttered them deftly and set them on a plate on the hearth to keep warm. When all was ready the nurse drew up the table and placed it beside the fire, placing a a chair for her. "Come, child, she said, gently. The professional tone had left her voice utterly; the girl felt a sudden rush of tears that burned her eyelids. They were the first she had shed In her life as she remembered. Its a dreary night, the nurse said, cheerfully, taking no special notice of the girl apparently. "The fire brightens one like a merry face. I always have a fire on stormy days If It is possible. My girl calls me Cinderella; I will tell you about my girl; I call her my sweetheart, her heart Is so sweet. She has no mother. the mellow She Is an Invalid, voice went on; she has been an Invalid for six years, and I have been with her during that time. Dora Is eighteen now, and I wish you could see her. She Is like a picture; sometimes I believe I love her as a lover would." Dolores knew nothing of love or s lovers, but she listened quietly. this woman would tell her what love was. Dora has gray eyes," the nurse continued. Her hair la golden brown, soft as silk, and long; arranging it Is one of my greatest pleasures. She has a beautiful home In New York, and everything that heart could wish to I e 77 7 ' you not wonder, child?" J not blame him. His is not like yout fathers life.
