Tho physicians remained with M Delaney all day, then they left him Mrs. Griffin's care and went away. IIs was better, they said, but he must ha careful nursing. The wintry day was fading into dark nese. Mrs. Griffin had slipped out fo tea and toast again, and Mr Delaney lay among his snowy pillows gazing thoughtfully into the bright fere His lips moved, and ho murmured sadly: "She will hate me, perhaps." The door opened softly. Ilia bride of a day Dame gliding in, clad in her simple darlr.blue dress, the loose curls falling on her shoulders, "You are better ?" she said, coming up to bim. "Air, I thought you were dead this morning!" Sho sat down in a low chair by the side of the bed, very close to him. His heart beat with sudden rapture, "Yes, I thought that I was dying, too," ho said. "You remember that moment when I kissed your cheek ? Well, just then I had a sensation as of falling from a great height. I thought it was the last of earth, that I had Iooked my last on your beloved face, that I was surely dying!" "Wo all thought so," she replied, calmly and gravely. He reached out and took her hand in both his own. "Aline, will you look at me?" ire asked. She lifted the shyly drooping lashes from her violet eyes and gazed into his face, frankly and steadily. "Aline, do you realize that yon are really my wife ? — that you belong wholly to me 2" ho asked her. "Yes," she answered, quietly. "Is there any sorrow, any regret, any repulsion in the thought ?" he inquired, and she auowered in a low voice : "No." "I have something to tell you," be said, "but, oh, Aline, I am afraid." Sho grew very pale at those words from his lips. She looked at him anxi- ously. "You need not be afraid to tell me. Go on, I will try to bear it," she said, with a falter in his voice, "But, Aline, my own, my darling, you must not bate me for this," he said, passionately. "Indeed, I did not know f passionately. I was surely doomed 1 And, now, if only you could forgive me for any unconscious deception, I should be the happiest man in the world." She bent her blue eyes on him full of reproach and pain. "Happy—at dying?" Happy—at leaving me P'' she said, in a low, strange, bewildered voice. And for a moment they gazed won. daringly at oath other. Then he spoke —almost incredulously: "Aline, have you misunderstood me? I have been trying to tell you that the doubt is onor 1 I have rallied from my illness 1 Love and joy have wrought a miracle! I shall live!" "You—will—live?" she gasped, and stared at him,speachless. "Oh, my dear, aro you sorry t Do you regret that you gave yourself to me? Oh, I would far sooner have died than this I" cried out Oran Delaney, in a passion of despair. But she caught the hand he thtew out in his frenzy of despair and pressed her lips upon it, "Ah, Heaven, how glad I am I" she cried ; and he answered, wonderingly : "Aad you are not sorry—do you not hate me, Aline ?" "No, no, I love you," the answered, hiding hor face against his hands. "I think I must have loved you long, but I did tot know it until, I believed you dying, Oh, I thank Heaven that it has eo kindly granted my prayer I" "Your prayedarling?" he said, athexiu h r .g o in both arms tightly, as if he never meant to let her go again' S110 whispered, with her lips against ed his theca: wi et 11a1, 1,• - '. r ..,•, rn.,«a .11, KILLERS, ASSOCIA'T'ION. d A. meeting of the millers was held in the' Town Hell, Listowel, on Tues. r. day of last week, the object of which tO was the formation of a Millers' Asso- c elation, to embrace the counties of Perth, Heron, Bruce, Grey, and Well- . ington.
