"What shall I do to rouse her?" said Leah to herself, one morning, after her usual conversation with the doctor. "She is sweet -tempered, loving, and grateful; but she seems to have lost all desire to live." Suddenly Leah bethought herself of the packages from Southwood. Leah went to the unused roo►n in tho western wing where the packages lay, and the writing -cease was tho first thing that caught her atten- tion. She opened the case and found it filled with documents. Martin Ray hnd evidently arranged it be- fore death.

They were tied with blue rihbtn, and with them were fastened flowers that had soon died. He had loved her fair young mother well to have pre- served these with such loving care. She found certificates of her parent's marriage, of her mother's death and of her birth and nettle's. She found a life insurance policy for nue hun- dred pounds, which had evidently been intended for Nettie. There were account books showing how Martin Bay had spent the people's money; she turned from them with loathing. Ah, what was this? A lottor in a square envelope. on which was written.

She never doubted but thnt it would be a lov- ing let ter, written to take from her the horrible curse which had preyed so heavily on her mind. She put it into the pocket of her dress; she would read it when she had finished her search. A few miniites later she had gone back to Ilettte's room. with ninny little mementoes of home that she thought would interest her. Then a visitor arrived. one of the ladies of the neighborhood, to make special inquiries after ITettie. Leah went to the drawing -room to receive her, and found that the general and the young baronet had driven cave to (filen. She was slightly disappoint- ed.
