Lingiey was ill, and Cathy had been slim -moue& horae ito tend her sister, The long nursing at Karldtde Grange had broken &inn her strength„ and as soon as Ger- beide Chester had drawn her lastbreath there bad been a sudden collapse that had alined her brother. ' " She was slightly better, but in a frightfully weak state," Cathy wrote; "and likely to remain so for some time, Di. Stewart said, and so there was nothin2 for it but for her to relinquish her ho pital work and come home." "Dr. Stewart calls us the model nurse 1 and Patient; and indeed Langley is suela 84 patient creature that it is a /ensure to tend for her, as folk say," athy lwrote. "Poor old. Garth took her illness sadly to heart, but after Dr. Stewart's test visit he has seemed. more cheerful ; and SG you see why you must do 1 without your Church -Stile House friends, my dear Queenie, though I -am .

All manner bf anxious thoughts seemed brooding in the *ehi]ths1 brein. i What ails you, darling ? What are yoiJ thinking about" Queenie would aski her, anxiously, but for many days she would. not answer. . - But one evening as she was lying on hen couch, watching the rosy gleam on the water fade into gray silvery streaks, white the soft musical wash of the waves seemed to lull her restlessness foralittle, she sud enly stretched out herthinarms and dre her sister's head down to the ' pill* aw. I 1 "-Rest there a few minutes, Queen : you are Iso tired, and I want to talk to you. Doesn't the moon look lovely shin- ing thrOugh the clouds' How many • eveninga do you think you and I will have together ?" " Hui, Emniie ! only God knows,not you or I." . "When He says, 'Come,' I must go : muetn't I, -Queen ?" . "Ob, yes, my darling !" "1 am so tired that I shall not mind going. I have almost forgotten what it is to run about and play as other child- ren do. I think it will be nice to lie donand ge sliding through the clouds like that girl in the picture, and then winin I Wake up there will be Nan. and Aline, and Uncle Andrew and. mamma. Oh, lhow nice to sennamma again !" "Nice to leae-e me, darling ?" trying "to restrain a sob. 1 "!Ah,that is the only sorrowful part," returned the child, pressing Queenie's - head between her weak arms. "Ohany • Queen !My Queen! what ever will you do Witheut me ?" and for a short time the Islatera clung' to each other, unable to speak. i Queerde was the first to recover her- self. "Never mind, Emraie : you mustnot fret": God will take care of me." "Yes, -I know; but I cannot help fretting., You took so sad and altered somehow, and all the light has gone out of your dear beautiful eyes; you are so good i.,,i to e,and you smtle and try to be cheerful, but I know --I know all about it, Queen." , "NOSknow what, my Precious?" 1 know how lonely you are, and !haw you miss them all.

"I thought you were fond of him, and liked him better than any one else. Wasn't he the prince in your stories? he was al- waye dark-haired, and tall, and strong, auciI that made me think of Mr. Garth." - Ili the diu light a hot flush passed over Qapeniels wan face. Emmie softly stroked it with her trembling fingers. Ah, you will not answer, but I 1v n ` all &boat it 1 am only' -a child., hu, ,I leve Mr. Garth dearly, dearly. 'Why e‘oesn't he come and see us, Queen ? haven't you told him I am ill ?" " Yea ; he knows it," almost inaudi- bly. I • " Then why does he not come ?" she persisted. "If I were not tired I would write te him myself: do you think I could ?I . "Not just now; by and by," she re- plie.(1 , h rdly thinking of what she was saying, and trying only to quiet her, and En mie, saaisfied with this vague peiallission, nestled against her sister contentedly, and said no more. i • . I CHAPTER MAW. MOUE'S LETTER. "1 CanOt take that anguished look to wear On my calmheart in heaven, as my last, Last meraory of thee until we meet Nay, thou must smile on me; one little smile Cast like a wild-floweaon my misty way WM make it brighter, and I cannot go Inpeace until thou bless me." Ezekiel and other Poems. mrnles closing remarks that night had left no distinct impression on her sister's mind ; r but Queenie had little idea: of the tenacity with which the child brooded over the matter, er how the weary young brain confused itself with endless plans and plotting. That some one Must take care of Queenie,that was her one thought. And ao one morning, when Queenie had softly crept out of her room, think- ing Emmies closed eyelids betokened sleep,aad had started for her fresh morn- ing,walk, the child painfully and slowly dragged herself from her bed, and with faiintg breath, and hands that trembled over their task, penned the pitiful little letter that wrung Garth's heart as he read it. Queenie found her on her return_ lying wan and exhausted on her pillow, and bent over with her unciiiguised anxiety. "Where is Harriet, darling ? She ought pot to have neglected you in this way," she exclaimed, in distress,- push.. ing back the curls from the child's damp forehead. Emmie only closed her eyes int answer, but an odd little smile IrovPred round her lips. She knew that Harriet was that moment walking down the espla- na.de, towards the red pillar -boon the gree Aid this was the letter that Garth loo read and ended to Langley with uzidis- m guised etnotion, .and overmhich Lang- ley cried until her feeble strength was nearly exhausted. • "Dear Garth," it .began, "you are such a long way off,—you and Langley and Cathy,—and we never hear from you now; and Queenie has left off talking about you, and has taken to sighing instead; and I want so badly to see you and have'a long, long talk. If you knew how badly, I am sure you ewould come. - "1 don't think pslopli ever die with- out saying aooel-by to their friends, and I want to bid you good -by and ask you to take care of Queenie. Some one must take care of her, you know; and I like you so much, dear .Mr. 1Garth • and I think no one will be so good and kind to her as you would be. "Queenie does not know that I am writing this: she has gone out to buy me some roses. She is doing something for me from morning to night, but I am sure it would make you sad to • see her. She never smiles now, and her eyes are always full of tears. She is thinking of the time*when she will be missing me. It will be soon now, for I get more tired every come, my dear, dear Mr. Garth. I think I likeekou next best to any one in the world but Queenie, except per- haps Langley and Cathy. Do come, please, to • • "Your loving and tired little Enfraie.. Queenie was Sadly disturbed by the child's r stlessneSs during that day and , the nex : all hen sweet piac • ed gone. She was feverish it was difficult to sootheher ed at every sound; an: op idity seem - and eager; She start - ming door, even the stoppage of vehicles in the street,would bring the flush to her white • face, and she would sit utf, among her pillows, palpitating and expectant, " What is it, Emmie darling ? What is the matter ?" IQueenie *mild say to her over and over again. "Ohf, it is nothing; ani only very silty," the child Would answer; sinking back with a disappointed face. Of course her letter had not reached him, it was such along, longi way off. How was it possible for him to come yet? And then a n w fear tormented her. • If he delayed t all, if he took a long tithe to thin about itevinuld he be in time? It wason the evening of the second day whenthis fresh thong t began to harass her. The day had,b en hot and thundery, and she had s ered much from the oppression of the atmosphere. When Dr. Bennet saw her that night he let fall a word or -• two that stirred Queenie's numb pain to sharp, positive agony. "You think she worse,Dr. 'Bennet? 1" can read it in your face," asked, her poor hands working with the effort to keep eahn. "1 think -there is. a change of some sort you must be prepared for anything now, my, dear Miss Marriott. Poor little ' sonl ! one cannot wish her to suffer," pontinued the warm-hearted: aloctor,, who had daughters of his own. "No, I 'do not wish her to suffer, God forbid that I should be so selfish; but Oh, !" And then sheturned", away, lest the flood of her sorrow shout& overwhelin her. There would be time'. enough to weep when her work was, finished: she needed all her strength for Emmie now. . But that night there was no sleep for her eyes. Hour after hour. she sat be- side the failing child, fanning her softly, watchingher through er short inter- vals of seep, and listening , to the .dull lapping f the waves on he sand. . Once e dozed off and lost 'herself. The shaded sick -room : had. disappeared' the mon tonous wash of the , surge had lulled h r drowsy ear. She was at Church-, tile House again. _There was the pia e -tree walk, and the church. The lit le gate swung lightly on its hinges; dark, handsome face looked in at th window and smiled at her : and she oke with a start to find rain- drops tering' against the Window , and the nigh -lamp paling beside the gray dawn. "I do t think that I shall get up to- day: s I shall not tire' your poor arms," as Emmie's plaintive remark that mo ing. "Do ou feel weaker, eny darling'? would y u rather be ispared . the trouble of dress* ig ?" "Yes I would rather lie still and be quiet. you open the folding, doors I can see little bit of the sea, and it does not sound so loud here. I think it is corning, ueen ; and, oh, I 'did want to be a littlelonger with you !1! • - " Wh t is coming,- my pet ?" for the were rolling down her cheeks, " Oh child's v ice was very sad, and the tears, don't cry, Ernmie ! I would rather en- dure a etime of sorrow than see you shed a single tear." And Queenie tremble all Over. • "But it is so hard- !" scibbed the child. " I only .wanted this, and then I could have gone so happily, --just to say goodrby;•and to kik)* that he was taking care of you. I have no .prayed for it; andl now he will corhe too late. Hush ! what is that, Queen? There are footsteps in the next room did you, hear them ?" "It is only Dr. Bennet, my darling," returned her sister, marvelling at -her ex; ceeding agitation. Who'll:Mid she ex- pect? What impossible arrival was she conjuring up in her sick brain "HusA ! it is only Dr. Bennet : he promised to come early, and we have no, other visi- tonyou know. Lie down agaln,Enuriie, and I will bring him to you." The sunshine streamed through the bay -window as she closed the folding doors behind her softly. "1 am so thankful you have conie,Dr. Bennett," she began, breathleSsly, end then she Stopped, and her heart seemed to cease beating for a momeht: Lam not Dr: Bennet, ;but I trust you are not sorry to see rne;" said a familiar voice in her ear, the voice that had vibrated through her waking and sleeping dreams; and therel was Garth looking, at her, and holdiegg Out his hand, with his ola kind smile. . "You here? you; of all people in the World !" she gasped, for she Was dazed with want of sleep, and the!stlidden ap- pearance of this dearest friend seemed to her more drearielike than real; even the pressure of hip hand scarcely' reas- sured her. "I am so stupid, I don't 'seem to believe it, somehowl" she said wrinkling her brews, and looking at him with such grave, unsmiling eyes that *Garth grew almost as grave as she, " Enunie sent for me : she wrote such a., sweet little childish letter that I could not keen away. Why did you not send F . r &things were as bad as this ?" king -down at her pale face with ingled feelings of pity and love. Worn and jaded and Wearyas she: looked,with all her brightnette•quenched, he felt it was the dearest facel in the world to him. "Emmie sent for you, and I never knew it! then kis you she has been ex- pecting these two days. Oh, Mr: Clay- ton, do you know. that she is dying,— that I Shall &VII be without her,the only thing that belongs to me in the whole world ?" And, moved by the sympathy of his face, Queenie sank down on the couch, and covered her face with her hands. . " Yes," know all about it, and Lang- ley and I are more sorry for you than I can say. Cathy wanted to come with me, but she could not leave Langley." "But you came. Oh, it is so good ol you! and this is surely e poorweleorne, trying te smile at , him through her tears. • . 1. "1 could not expect otherwise,' he returned, in an odd, constrained voice, f°r he was just then restraining with difficulty the longing to take her in his arms and comfort her like a child. Did she understand his -feelings ? he wonder- ed, for there was a little flush in her face as she moved atiray, saying that she would tell Emmie. "May I come with you ?" he asked but he followed her without permission, and so caught the child's 'first look of ecstasy. . I • i - "Oh, Mr. Garth, Mr. Garth !" was all she said; and then she nestled down contentedly in his strong twins, and laid her head on his shoulder'and the weak -hands went up land stroked his face. ' "You see I have come, dear Emmie," he said, at last; very gently. "1 have answered your I letter in person. - You Were sure of me, were•you not ?" "Yes, I was sure," she answered, doubtfully. • "But 16.1night I got un- happy, for I feared it would be too late. And now you are going to promise me to take care of Queenie ?" . "Emmie, my dear one, hush !" ex- claimed poor Queenie, for her cheeks were flaming at this. '• "Let the child speak," he returned, very quietly, but firmly: "we must not let her have anything . on her mind. And she wrote to me, you know. • Emmie has always ' had faith in me,"- with an intonation that made Queenie droop her head and be: ashamed of her doubts. , " Yes; do let me- speak, Queen; I have been so dreadfully unhappy, and I have not much breath for this odd catch - ng in my throat. Mr. Garth; I am not v rong : you do love Queenie, do you not ?" . "Yes, dearly," was the unexpected re- sponse, very gravely made. s " Oh, I am screed !" trying to clap her hands in her old way: but they dropped heavily, and he caught them.! "And you will promise me to take care of her, and tryi and Make her happy all her life :" 1 "Yes, by God's help, and if she will have it so," in a lcose but very distinct tone. And now his hand sought hers, and kept it. 1 "Let him go how, my darling," ex: - claimed Queenie, wildly, hardly know- ing. what she Would say, and conscious only of the strong pressure of t he hand that held hers. "All this is making you worse." And, Oh, what would he think of them both ? , * i " No ; it makes me happy," returned the child, faintly. " Now I am quite ready to go to sleep as Nan did. You have not kissed her, Mr. Garth. And is there not something else that people always 'do ?" a' little restlessly. ' I thought they *ore a ring, or some- thing." He half smiled at that, and. drew off the heavy seal -ring fromehis little finger. "Let us humor her," his eyes seemed to say to Queenie; and,weak and confused, she hardly knew how to resist. The ring was on her finger before she knew it, and he had lightly totaled her cheek with his lips. " What does it matter, dear? we understood each other before this," she heard him say : "at least you must have understood .me." And then he rose from his seat and placed the child in her arms. • The.rest of the day was a dream to Queenie. . Sbenever stirred from Emilie's side. Garth came in and out in a quiet; busiiness-like way, but he never stayed long. Once or twice he brought some refreshment to her,and re; mained beside her until she had ..taken it. "You rnust'eat it, or you will be ill," he said, very gravely, when she would have refused it. After the first, Emmie seemed hardly conscious of his presence; a fainting -fit had followed the excitement of the morning, and there, had been only a partial rally. She lay through the 'remainder of the day motionless and speechless, with her hand in her sister's, and a faint flicker of her old innocent smile round her lips. Once. only she brightened viably when Garth stooped -and kissed her. " Now I am .happy," Queenie heard her say. "Dear Mr. Garth, I know he Will take care of her !" . - It was late in the evening' when she roused to fullconsciouniess. The day had been sultry, and the folding doors had been •flung open, and now a pleasant breeze swept from the sea and blew re- freshinglythrough the room. Garth was pacink up and down on the balcony. The moon had already risen, and a' broken pathway of light seemed to stretch over the dark Water. By and by a star tremhled on the edge of a long fleecy cloud. Through the -open window he could catch a glimpse of the little fair form propped up with pillows, with the patient figure beside it; now ' nd then a ow tone reached his ears. "Are we alone, Queen? Where is Mr. Garth ?"-- " He is out there, looking at the sea; it is so beautiful to -night. Shall -I call him'dear ?" • "No ; I like to feel that we are alone together once more; just you and I. We have always been so happy together, have we not, Queen ?" "Yes, yes, my darling." 1 "There will be so many waiting for me there,—rnamma and papa, and Uncle Andrew, and Nan, and Captain Faw- cett's little girl; but someti es I -am afraid that I shall tniss you very badly, clear. I hope it is not wicked to feel that." , "No, of course not, my pet but God' will take care'of that • He will not let. you miss me too Much:" "Never to be tired again; how strange that will be !" continued the dying child. Queenie softly repeated t e words, "Come unto Me,1 all y that re weary and, heavy lad, and '1 wi give you res,ti.A"b, that , at sounds nice.
