CHAPTER XXVIL (Continued.)
The sisterhood were all, gathered on
the lawn. Miss Charity' favorite—au
'
enormous tabby—was Wring under-
neath the old scarlet strapper; Miss
Hope's knitting -needles clicked busily,
Miss Prudence was occupied over some
silk patch -work, the little square8I and
diamouds of which shone in the sun-
light; Faith was reading aloud "West-
ward Ho." She put down the book
with a bright, welcom;ng emile. The
interest of the story had moved her ;
her eyes shone with soft, serious excite-
ment ; there was a scent Of tall white'
lilies. Dr. Stewart's _bees were hum-
ming noisily : a light wind stirred the
' long grass -shadows ; Miss Charity's
Charity's
curls were in disorder. Some flue
white -heart cherries hung( over Dr.
Stewart's head;.he commenced gather --

aid, coolly, as he transferrel them to
Ins own pocket. "Why • di4 they not
call you Cherry, Miss Charity, instead
of that affected Cara ?" ;

turned Miss Hope; "neither Prue nor

/
"Why sheuld I not use it,. iit is far
softer and prettier than Oharit " inter-
posed Faith, appealingly. Dr. Stewart
gave one of his dry Iaugha. i .
- ;
" Every Ione has a right- to their own
fancies. I am prosaic enough-- to dis-
like pet names. Cara, when one is
christened Charity !" with a contemp-
tuous shrug :1" why, it is a direct snub
ta one's sponsors."
I ever use it ; she began it,.
and never left off."
Faith looked uncomfortable ;' she
always did when Dr. Stewart was in
one of his quizzical moodi. At such
times be was given to find fault with
everything. But in -another moment he
became serious. .
" What an odd fancy that was of
Chester's calling his -little girl Nan !
She is a pretty little creature and her
father seems to dote on her. creature,
over
there yesterday; Mrs. Chester had one
-
of her attacks.
"Poor thing !" sighed Miss Charity,
"she is very delicate. People are
fowl of calling her fanciful, and no
doubt she is full of Al-ilimsies like the
* rest of us, but it is hard work having
an ailing body and an ailing temper
• too." a
" Yes," he assented ; " she has her
share of trouble, but she has gpt the
blessing of a good husband." But here
Miss Prudence shook her head grimly.
She rarely joined in the conversation if
a stranger were present; and, as her
remarks were generally of a lugubrious
nature, thy were not greatly missed.
"An 'II -assorted couple, doctor,"

satisfacti n. Miss Prudence was much
given to expatiate in the domestic
circle on the evils of matrimony, and to
thank la ' ven that she and her three
sisters ha4I net fallen into the hands of
the Phil stines,—a peculiarly happy
state of r signation for an unattractive _
woman, eith a rigid and cast-tron ex- hands. , Only when it was too- late did

" &mitt know : her ekes certainly

"Have you any -pain, my darling?' he
asked, bending over her. ,-
- "No; no pain, only Nan so tired"
she repeated, in the most pathetic,
voice. Mr. Chester leaked appealingly
at Queenie.
"I am afraid she is very ill," she re-
turned, reluctantly, for there was a
strange look about the child that
alarmed her. "-Emmie dear, tell' Pa-.
donee to go and fetch Dr. Stewart at
once and, you run across for Langley."
"Ay, we must have Langley," he re-
peated, helplessly, looking down at his
pet. Nan had left Off her, moaning and
seemed sinking into drowsiness. ,
"Will she let me undress her and lay.

comfortable than in your arinS ;" but as
Nan stirred uneasily and murmured,

i
himself: But even when Ise plac d her
on the, cool pillow she still hel his
hand tightly. _ - - . .
" Father will -not leave his pet; don't
be afraid, My. darling." • .
When Langley arrived, she found him
still hanging over the child. Nan
seethed . sleeping; her dark eyelashes
swept her eheek ; one small hand' was
folded in her father's.
"This sleep will do her good. • It
must, have been the sun that Made her -
feel sick," he said; looking,up at Lang-
ley with.a relieved expressam, Langley
put back the long silky hair from the
child's forehead, but did not 'answer.
. Some chill presentiment for which she
could not account' had seized her ,at
the moment of Emmie's summons; and
then, why did not Nan move, when she
kissed her.
"I do not think this looks (pith like
sleep,—like natural- sleep, I • mean., I
think we ought to try to -rouse her, at
least till Dr. Stewart comes. • . Speak to
her, Harry: she has never slept so
soundly before." • ' - , •
"Nan, Nan, my little one; father
wants you," but, fonthe first time in het
infant life, Nan was deaf to her father's
voice. • '
" What can we, do? what are we to
? • Dr. Stewart will not be home for
_another hour," exclaimed Queenie, now
--really terrified.. 'No suspicion of the
truth had entered int any of their
masculine appendage of the upper lip. •
" Humph !' gruuted the doctor,
laconically, ; for he had an ill -concealed
antagonism to Miss Prudence, and dis-
liked gossiping about his patients' af-
fairs
"If we were to add up all the ill-as-
sorted marriages in the world, the sum
would last us a long time,". observed
Miss Hope,philosophically. '

The next two hours that passed were
never effaced from Queenie's memory.
No efforts of theirs 'could rouse the child
flout the death -like 'stupor that- ,op-
pressed her. Langley had tried two or
thil
three remedies, but hey were unava-

terh igure came into sight. In an-
' other moment there was a click of the
little gate, and he came rapidly up to
them carrying his child.
"May I come in, Miss Marriott the
sun is so hot I dare riot gohip the lane ;"1
and, as Queeuie nodded and made room
for hini to pass into their cool sitting
room, he continued, in'an agitated
voice, "I do not know ,u -hat- ails Nan,
she has been drowsy and quiet for a
long time, and just now she turned yery
sick and poorly."
He had placed himself in the low
chair by the window as he spoke, and
Queema knelt down by him and ex-
aminedil he child. As he untied the

his favorite " Humph !" and ,went away
with a sorrowful face, for he was soft-
hearted, and loved all children fer their -
own sweet sake's.
There WaS no -thing to be done
after this. Garth came in by and by
and paid a short visit to the 'room up-
stairs, but he did not stay long.

sent for his wife. -There nothi

out sadly they could hear him groan,
-" Oh, my little Nan, my little, little
child !" .
' As they eft the room,. Queeniea could
hear Garth calling to her in a suppressed
voice, and at once went down to him.
He took old of her hand, and led her
into the cheery little parlor. There was
'a bright fire in the grate ; an old wood-
en -rocking-chair stood near it; the tea,.
tray was on the round black table where
,ir
the'silsters ate their simple meal& ;

he said khully, " and I will give you a
cup of tea.- Where is Langley ?"

presently. Oh, Mr. Clayton,", bursting
into. tears, for this touch of thoughtful -
nes S moved her from her enforced -calm-
ness, "it has been so 1- sad, so dreadful;,
all these hours !"
"Yes, know .it has been very hard
_upon you. Poor Chester, and poor dear
little -Nan ! who would have drea,med of
such a catastrophe ? Even Dr Stewart„
who is inured to all sorts of painful
scenes, seems quite upset by it. .• It must
be hard for a map to lose his only child,"
continued Garth', gravely, as he brought
the tea and stirred the fire Ito a more
,cheerful blaze. '
" I did not know you were here,' she
said, after an interval of silence. The
warmth had revived her, and the flow of
nervous tears had done her good. How
she wished, that Langley- could be in-
duced to come down too 1 _ '
" I could not. make up, my mind to
