"What is it, John 7" she asks, in a voice uttlike her own. He does riot speak for a 01lnute. They have reached the house, and stand together in the doorway. "Somebody must break it to hie wife," Mr. Ker says, un so hoarse and broken a tone that Gladys can hardly hear. "Tho boat has been washed in bottom upward!" Gleayr, as she looks up at him, has her llaok to the staircase, and there• fore does not see what he secs jut us his speech is ended. Gipsy comes down the staircase as Gladys bursts into tears; and John Ker, looking over her shoulder at the face of Sir Maurice's wife, knows she has heard and understood, There Is 110 need to break It to her now. One awful second, one blank, staring look Into his face, and then he is carrying her up the narrow stairs, white and speechless.

The soft breeze fans the curtains of Gipsy's window to aid fro and plays gently among the curio of her, bowed head; and a little way off one can hear the waves rippling and washing on the shore. 'Somewhere the green waters lap and murmur over a dead face and rock It In their arms. The widow sblvers as she hears the sound of tho sea, and the two hours of title awful grief wear themselves away. • • • • • • Picked up by a' yacht—am all right—will be home this evening.

Colonel Bryan takes her poor, eliak- ing hnttds In hie and bends his lace over them, trying to break It to her gently ; for great joy, like great grief, is hard to boar, "Gipsy," he whispers, "through me same all your trouble and sorrow ; Let me be the first now to bring you good news ;" and ho looks up to see the effect of his words. Tho blood has rushed to her white cheeks. "There can be no good news for me," she says, tremulously.

Lock, Gipsy— le Is true!" n,nd 11.11 puts the paper in- to her trembling fingers Then ho adds: "Ho will be with you soon." No words come, only at. burst of convulsive weeping that perhaps eaves the overstrained heart froth breaking. Then they all come running up and cry together, and make much of Gipsy, who cannot realize all of a sudden that unto bra' it 11110 liter- ally happened, in the beautiful words of Scripture that "sorrow may en- dure for it night, but joy cometh in tho morning." The voice, of Sibyl's boy breaks in clrnr and childlike: "Mannnie, Ileaven has answered my prayer, and sent Uncle Maurice back 1" Gipsy snatohos the cldkl to her heart. "UnrUng, w'e will offer our thanks together!" By and by Gipsy cusses down, very pale and happy looking, with a sol- emn joy in tier eyes, and prepares to watch for Maurice hours before ha can possibly arrive. She has put on a new white dross, with a bunch of honeysuckle at her throat, and the sweet little face Sir Muurtce laves 1s almost salutlike In its happiness. Gladys puts oil a matter of fact air and vete every one to work. "We must celebrate Maurice's re- turn properly," silo says, and des- patches come of the party yip the mountainside for heather and ferns for decorations. 11r. Ker takes his roil and basket, rind de.

Gipsy can do nothing but watch, with a heart full of thankful - Dees, and the dusky, dark -fringed eyes oro soft umf wistful, gazing out into the sunshine. At evening time Ile comes, with a quick, glad step, longing to hold his darling la his arms again. "Gipsy ! Gipsy "!
