had looked in upon him during the
night.
Going to the bedside she touched
high gently.
'Tether," she said. a note of fear
in her tune, "breakfast is nearly
ready ; will you get up now?"
There was no response, no move-
ment.
The man was dead. Ho had fal-
len quietly asleep immediately af-
ter retiring and so passed beyond
this plane of existence into tho
mysterious unknown.
l:stlfer bad long anticipated such
a. termination of his malady ; but
now that it had come so stealthily
and suddenly, she was shocked be-
yond uteasuro.
She made no outward demonstra-
tion. She had too long schooled
herself to meet and bear the bur-
dens and vicissitudes of life with
stoical acquiescence to allow her-
self to break down now, at a time
when she had need of all her for-
titude.
Besides, as has already become
apparent, she had borne her fa-
ther no very deep affection; for
she had long rebelled against the
selfishness which had shifted every
possible responsibility upon an un-
complaining wife, and so shorten-
ed the life of the souther whom she
ao much needed and loved.
,Since her death she had tried to
follow her mother's sacrificing ex-
ample --not an- love. but because
she believed it to be her duty to
care fur her father, who, having
taken a heavy cold just after Mrs.
Wellington's death, had barely
lived through pneumonia, to become
a victim of consumption.
There had been a little money in
the bank, deposit.d there from
time to time. through the frugality
and good management of Mrs. Wel-
lingten, who, for many years had
been the dressmaker and milliner
for the locality in which they lived;
otherwise they aright have suffered
for the necessaries of life.
It was almost gone, and Esther
was glad that the end had come be-
fore the failure ei their Means; fur
the invalid had insisted upon hav-
ing every whim gratified.
Something of this flashed through
her mind as she looked upon the
rigid forin un the bed ; then, with-
out a wend or sound, she turned
away, went slowly out of the roots,
and shut the door.
She was outwardly calm, but
destiny white, from her long night
of watching together with this ad-
ded shock.
The unman, on the lounge in the
witting roots, was still sleeping.
She passed her noiselessly, and
g,ing to the outer door looked out,
hoping to see some neighbor upon
whom she conkl call for aid.
She shisered fru►n heed to foot
as the piercing wind swept over
her and the sleet beat sharply upon
her face.
Then she heaved a long sigh of
relief, for she espied 1)r. Craw-
ford coming up the hill, to take a
