he lie knew not how CHAPTER The Tho next 1 lay day a was Sunday Sunda I Hazel had kept a calendar of or tho thu week and ever every seventh day was laid aside with jealousy to bo be devoted to such simple religious exercises as he could invent The rain sun still continued with less violence vio yb- lence indeed but without an hours hour's intermission slon After breakfast he read to S 5 her the of the I Israelites and their sufferings during that desert life Ho compared those hardships with their own troubles and pointed out to her how their condition presented a n great t man many things to be thankful for tor The Island was fruitful the climate health healthy They might have been cast castaway castaway awa away on a sand sandy key or reef where tho they would have perished slowly and miserably of hunger iunger and exposure Then they ther were spared to each other Had Mad she been alone there she sho could not have provided for herself had he been cast away a 3 solitary man the Island would have been to him an Intolerable in intolerable in- in tolerable prison In all these reflections Hazel was er very guarded that no expression should escape him to arouse her apprehension He was so careful of this that she ob observed observed ob- ob served ser his caution and watched his hisS S restraint And Helen was thinking more of or this man than Q of of- the holy object object object ob ob- ob- ob on which he was waR discoursing The disguise he threw over his heart was wag wasS S penetrable to tho girls girl's Irl's eye ee S She saw his love lo In ever every careful word and emPlOYed employed employed em em- herself in detecting it under his rigid manner Secure in her own position she sho cou could l examine his from Crom the tho loopholes of at her hel soul ou and take a plea pleasure ure In witnessing tho the suppressed happiness she could bestow a il word ord She Size did not wonder at her pow pow- er em Tho llio best bost of ot women have hayo th the natural

such touches touchier where discovery had failed to supply ulars Helen had always believed religiously religious religious- ly y in maps and was as amused when she reflected on her former credulity
