A general shone followed this ex-
clamation, which, though not unex-
pected,. still announced the fulfill -
mint of their fondest hopes, the end,
of a long aeid anxious struggle.
"And a happy day it will be,"
reterned the wife, blithely. "But
I believe 1_ rejoice more for your sake
than our own."
"To -morrow will be the happiest

thirteen.

pale, troubled face. She tittered no
exclamation, for, Mr. Dawson had
placed his finger on -his lips, thus in-

she pointed to the open door of the
