little affectations, and they are going to
be men,
This outburst of hie. majesty cheered
1 ue ail mightily, and a young woman at
the top of the blue, catching his eye,
waved her hand to film with a happy
at Iiia. threugh swollen eyelids red with
weeping; "but there is nothing any one
can do. It is horrible. When I told her
r she would hare to lie still for a time, she
tried to smile, .and then she said: 'Don't
cry S1say, I will he as good as gold.'
Aud thea eke Paid she wouid sleep all
day and lie awake at night to Bear the
nightingale, She has never beard it
et'"
ll yet."
remembered how be had listened to
the nightingale in the copse behind her
house on many a summer night when he
bad walked lonely in the fields to see
her light in the window and her shadow
on the blind, and he sighed and said: '
"'The nightingales are singing bravely
in the wood beyond' the station. I'M
glad she has thought of something that
Owlets her, poor darling."
Vynie lying atilt and rigid in Iter
int i
mainto, with wide open egos, watched
the day die. Then the lamp was lighted,
and presently that in its turn gave place:
to the yellow glow of the night light and
the great shadows it cast.
"Are you asisep, Sissy, my own?" said
the little voice,
"No, iny, darlings" Rose bent over the.
bed. "Does it want anything? Will it
have some mil -ince' fizzy milk?"
"No --yea, • 1 want to hear the
nightingale, Sissy. Why doesn't he be-
gin? Isn't it late?"
"Yes, my sweetheart, but perhaps the
nightingale's got suet' a pretty home, in
the warm country 'where he lives, that
be can't make up his mind to come here."
"Oh, Sissy, he must come! I can't lie
Obi all the time unless he comes! Do
please ask God to tell' the nightingale
how badly I want. him. And, Sissy, put
out the light. Perhaps he doesn't like
f to sing till he's sure I'm in bed, and he
•• couldn't know I've got broken, could he?"
"No, my precious;, no. Try to* go to
sleep, and Sissy will wake you if 'he be.
gins to sing,"
But Vynte could notsleep, and by
morning the fever was high. She talked
and moaned and laughed, but always her
cry was for the nightingale, .
"Master Tom, miss, to inquire"
Rose went down, trembling with want
.i! sleep, haggard with anxiety,, She took
• the great basket of roses her friend had
brought; and, holding it, told him how
the nlght had passed. "They were Wag-
ing like mad down " by the station," he
• said. . "Confound the brutes!., • I expect
your nightingale isn't coming this year."
"Don't," saidthe girl. "I believe Vynie
will have no rest if he doesn't. When
elm heard the church bells this morning,
aIle told me to send to the "clergyman
and tell him to explain -to God that she,
eonldn't do without the nightingale. Oh,

1 "
Tom was not such a fool .its to say,'
"You have me." He only said, "Yee, I
'knuw," and pressed her hand. •
"You are good," she said, and went
back to the child.
A little "fitful sleep came in the long
nigbt..hours of that terrible" Sunday,
but it was broken and feverish, and • at
every awakening the little voice, grow-
ing ever weaker, said: •
""isn't ,it dark yet? Won't . God send
the nightingale? Oh, Sissy, I, do want to
hear him." •
The oldservant, who had been with
the two sisters ohm Vignie's birth, two
months after the father's death, had cost
the life of the mother, insisted on send-
ing Bose to rent and sat by Vynie's side.
"Nurser," whispered the child, "come.
close. Will you do what I say?"
"Anything,' my precious," said the old
woman, holding the hot little hands in
her smooth, withered palms.

THE NIGHTINGALE.
By R. =SHIT.
He Sang Like a Bird* Saved l
Life and tVVon a Girl,
She was leaning on her Arms at the
gate and looking away from him.
"It's, no use, she said. "I couldn't
marry ally one unless I was so fond of
him that 1 couldn't bear my lite without
hhn. That'b the only excusci for mar-
riage."
"Then I'm not to come here any more
4-1 suppose?" .
"Oh, dear!" she .said. drawing her eye-
brows together with a worried frown.
"VVhv did you go and swill it all? It was
ail so pleasant! Can't you really' be am-
iable? Let tie go on just as we were, and
pretend that nothing has happened."
"No," he said, ""I shalt go away. When
one lives in lodgings they mar ng 'swell
be in Putney or row -as here."
She thought ho . dull tennis and dance
and pienic Would be without him, and
*aid - stlfby. "just as you please, of
course."
Then her face lighted up as the rattle
Of hoop and hoop stick and little patter-
Ing feet drew her eyes to the other side
of the road, where a little girl in a scar-
let frock came quickly along the aapiialt,
her brown hair flying' behindlher.
"Here's'into"—
The child ease her slater and her friend,
for he wits a friend to ail children, and
struck the hoop so that it bounded on the
curb and flew into the middle of the road.
The little scarlet figure followed it Then,
in a hash,a butcher', Dart from a side
read, a clatter, a scream, it curse, and
the if I don't have the nightingale. God
will attend to you because you always.
remember to say your prayers.. 1 forget
mine sometimes, even when -I'm not very
sleepy. Oh, nursey, 'I shall never " be
sleepy any;more.• Do'tell. God' all about
it.•'
The old woman knelt by the bedside
and :with a faith Simple as beadtiful as
the child's own "told God all abdiit-it"
The' dusk was deepening . The child
lay with cheeks scarlet against the white
pillows and shining eyes fixed on the
'slowly "darkening squares of the window.
She moaned with pain and the misery of
sleeplessness.
""Open the window, nursey, my dear,"
she said softly when• the night had al-
most , fallen. ""I think I heard ,some-
thing.,,
When, the`" ndow was. Opened, Vynie
held her. breath and '• listened to a silence
that 'after a. moment was softly broken
by two or three mellow' notes. •
"Is it -oh, is it? Nursey-nureey"--
"It's the nightingale right enough, my
pet," said the old woman as Rose crept
into the room like• a ghost in her white
dressing gown.
""Oh, Sissy, my ownl It is -it is! God's
not forgotten me. He's going to let me
go to' sleep, and I shah bear the night-
ingale even. when I'm asleep. Listen!"
Again the full notes pierced the ;oft'
darkness.
Rose gathered her little sister in her
arms, and together they listened-Vynie
to, the song of the nightingale and Rose.
with. a full . heart to the breathing, grad-
ually move even and tranquil, of the lit-
tle child the held against her llosom.
"She'll asleep," said the nurse softly.
"I won't"move," whispered Rose. "I'll
stay here. Oh, thank God, thank God!"
Tom came every day to inquire, and it
seemed to Rose that he grew paler and
thinner in this anxious time, and every
night the notes of the nightingale sound-.
ed from the dark wood -through nights
radiant with clear moonlight and through
the black darkness of night wild with
wind and rain. And Vynie grew stron-
ger and ate and drank and played domi-
nos and was on the highroad to well
being once more.
Then came a night when the nightin-
gale did not sing. Vynie did not miss it;
she slept so sound o' nights nese: And on
that night followed a day when Tom did
not come, and then another day and an.
other. Rose missed him miserably. On
the drat day she was angry at his ab-
sence; on the second, anxious; on the
third she sent the old nurse to gee wheth-
er he wan ill.
"You'd beat go round," Bald the old
woman when she came back from her
mission. "He's more than ill. Pneu-
monia or something, and he keeps asking
form you. Go you. I'll stay 'with the
child. He'e got no one with him but his
landlady, afecklees body, if ever there
was one. Go now, my lamb."
So Rose went. •
His face showed ghastly in the frame
of hie disordered hair and of a three days'
board.
Sh6 came"to him and took his hands.
' ""That woman says I'm dying," he whis-
pered, "but Vynie's all right, isn't she?"
"Yee, yes; but what have you been do-
ing? Oh, Tom, it isn't my fault, le It,
Tom? I didn't drive you Into folly?
