Martha had no -very definite notion as to. whether a sand -martin was fish, flesh, or fowl;, but she hod picked up the word with a Londoner's relish for rural phrases, and supposed it must mean something sandy. Perhaps, it was as well that just at that moment she was not tentalized by the thought of the cool breezy life of the bird she bed named. • Oh, dear 1 I wish I was dead she said presently but a sudden, sharp pain through her temples reminded her of the near possibility of death.; and, with a shiver, she turned her wishes into,"I wish I was better girl: I wish I had learnt in my Bible, or something: .1 wish—oh, I wish f—there was any- body in all the world to eare if I was dead or alive !"
