H "Don't let father's illness keep you H at home." Marian always said "fath- H er" when speaking to Ortrude, though Hj Fhe always called him Daddy. "I can H do everything necessary, with Tupper H to help me, and It would be a pity for H you to lose your rino. H "Well, T really know nothing about Hf nursing " Hj "So we see," interrupted Marian. H Ortrude flushed, and the girl contin- H ued: "As it is in great measure mon- H ey matters that have- worried him H sick, the sight of your new silk ki- H mona and real laco cap might not be Hj very quieting." H "Daddy's not here to be hurt at my Hl ' speech, su I may as well get it out of H my system," thought the girl. H "J certainly would not want to be H in the same room with so impudent a H girl as you are." Ortrudo's tone was H low and even, but full of bitterness. H "It would make it rather conjected, H I think myself. You " H "Here comes Mrs. Morton, I'll go H to the door." Marian hurried away. H Ortrude strangled her wrath at the H girl and came forward with a smile H to greet her neighbor. H "I was sorry to learn from Olive H that your husband was sick. I thought H I would run over and see if there was H anything l could do Motner dionon H is visiting me now, so I have someone H to leave Hal with, if I could be of any 1 assistance." "Oh, there is nothing, thank you. There are more here now than can H be used. Marian here was just urging H me to go for a ride, as she wants the H privilege of caring for her father" H Ortrude was glad of a chance of draw- H ing a cloak of a respectable excuse over leaving her husband when he was sick. "Excuse me. I will go and see if Daddy wants anything." Marian was addressing Ortrude. "I believe the child is jealous of any attention I pay my husband," said Ortrude after the girl had gone. Nell said nothing. "It keeps my conscience from bothering mo when I do go away and leave him," continued the woman. "Have you a troublesome conscience?" consci-ence?" asked Nell, a little smile on her lips. "It is rather elastic, but still I have one," returned Ortrude, regarding her keenly. "Well, I muBt be going. 'I do hope Mr. TownBcnd is not going to be very sick. It is trying weather to have to lie in bed." Nell roso to go. "The doctor assures us that a rest will put him on his feet again, and if Marian will give him a chance to sleep I am sure he will soon bo out. Good morning," "My! how those two love each other," oth-er," thought Nell as she went down Ihe walk. "Is thore anything I can do for you, J. C ?" asked Ortrude, entering the sick room on her way to the machine. "Anything I could get you to eat?" "No, thank you ; I think of nothing," answered Jacob. "Now she s gone and we shall not be disturbed, I will read to you, unless you want to sleep." Marian drew her low chair up to the bed, and taking her father's hand in hers, smiled into his face. 'It will be very pleasant to hear you read. What shall it be?" Jacob patted the head lying near his hand. "We never finished the book we were reading last May. Let's begin where we left off and pretend there has been no break." Marian did not see the pained expression that passed over her father's face. When she looked up for an answer he was smiling smil-ing assent. (To be continued.) Carrot Jam. , Six chopped bitter almonds and two tablespoons of brandy for every pound of carrot pulp, besides the juice of two lemons and the grated rind of one.
