The paroxysm of pain seemed past, and she was asleep. The -bottle was quiet as a.tomb.in another roam the loving, faithful husband and com- panion was lost to trouble in slumber, Margery Was atone: she moved, softly to the window and drew back the cur- tains, and immediately the room was bathedin the silver radiance of the moon. She stood and gazed on at, the dark blue heavens, the glittering myriads of jeweled stars, the moonlit earth, till a cloud seemed to ob,seure her vision; and, when she gazed again the stars Were gone and a ruddy haze pierced by the sun's golden, beams illumined •the sky. the bed, then, with it sudden shudder, dropped on her knee's beside it. While her eyes had been closed in sleep, while the dawn had spread its roseate veil over the night, a spirit had flown from 'earth --Mary Morris was dead! CHAPTER IX, The days missed away, and Stuart Crosbie gradually recovered from the ef- fects of his fall. Despite the assurance from Sir Douglas that her eon was do- ing well, hire. Crosbie satisfied hereelfa and summoned the village doetog, to- gether with a fashionable physician from town, only to receive the same opinion froin them'coupled with the expression that Stuart could not have been better treated. The young man passed four days' in his room; but, as the pain left his head, he insisted ori donning his clothes and descending to the garden. His mind was haunted by Margery's Image and the thoughts of her sorrow; for the news of Mrs. Morris' death hits] reached him through his eervant, and he longed to rush away and comfort his darling.' He had seen little of his moth- er during the past four days; Sir Doug- las had constituted himself head nurse, and Mrs. Crcebie, who was not quite at home in a sick room, gave way to him with a little annoyance- and jealousy, though she would not let it be seen. Stuart had not been sufficiently well, during the short time she visited him, to speak about Margery—indeed, he scarcely had strength to reply to her inquiries—the heat was still very great, and, although he had an excellent con- stitutioe, be was considerably 'weakened by the fever and pain. But. though he could not collect his idtes to speak of Margery, she was never absent from his thoughts. The hision of her sweet blue eyes lier wistful, lovely face, haunted ais bedside, bringing a acme of peaee and rest to his troubled dreams. At last, after four days had pissed, Stuart insisted ein leaving his room and seeking the air, urged, in fact, by it strong desire to see his mother and tell her of his love. Sir Douglas offered no opposition to this move; the several ef- fects of the fall were now paged, and, with Mich health and vigor es Stuart poseeesed, his arm would soon heal. Nev- ertheless it was a rather shatteled likeness of the handsome cousin that greeted Vane Charteris' eyes as she crossed the hill and saw him making sheer progeess down the stain. "Let me help yon," she sala, gently, Moving forward at once, Eted putting out her hand. "Thanks. I am rather shaky," return- ed Stuart, smiling faintly. "Hoer do you do, Cousin Vane?
