Br AMELIA. E. BARE, DI THE OHRISTLIN.
UNION;
' (Continued from fast week.)
He did not answer her, and very soon
other -doors were flung open, and there
was the hubbub of men's voices, and the
flashinglof lanterns in the hands of peo
ple huitying hither and thither. He
was very quickly overtaken, but his
well -assumed shock and amazement, and
his frank denial, quite disarmed all the
suspicion regarding him. Yet he had
half a mind to tell the truth when one of
the men said, pitifully, "The little fel-.
low is: sick, too; he hath had a fever all
day." But he did not, and the searchers
divided into three parties,, and took the
three different roads to Lerwick, but no
one thought of the sea road, or their
swift boats, well manned, could have
easily overtaken Vedder, who had aiso
to contend with an adverse wind and the
snow in his face.
Christina, on receiving her child from
Birom had folded it. up completely in a
coat of skins, and fled with it to the
boat. The child was struggling and
crying hoarsely ere it put off from the
shore, but the noise then was quickly
lost in the beating of the surf. Some-
thing however, about ehe child's crying
startled her, and she partia•ly uncovered
its face, and bent to it Its breathing
was. labored and. short, its face very het.
A sharp fear smote her heart; she Hs-
' tened with a pa:lad intentness to every
respiration.
When they were about half way home
•the child had a paroxysm, the character
of which was beyond doubt:
"Croup !" said Vedder, in a terrified
4toice. "Now, then, what is to be
done ?"
What, indeed, on the dark sea, the
why]. and waves gradually rising,- the
snow and the spindrift in their faces !
The wretched mother bent over the
agonized child in an agony great as its
own. Vedder strained at the oars like
a giant, but be knew of no cove or inlet
fit for landing where there Was any hu-
man. help at hand. Christina's own
house was the nearest shelter they could
reach. She had determined never to
return there, but now she longed for it.
-She thought every moment an hour,.
lentil they touched the jetty; then she
fled at her utmost speed to its warmth
with her sick child.
"Zhou put it in a hot bath at once,
and I -will go for the doctor and for thy
mother," said Vedder, and then he hur-
ried off in the direction of the town.
Unfortunately, as had not intend-
ed to come back to her house, the fire
was out. The things she wanted were
I not in their usual place, in her distress
she could find nothing she wanted. The
peats would not kindle, the water had
been left outside and was frozen, she
felt as if she was in an evil dream, strug-
gling with impossibilitieS. At last, in a
passion of weeping, she abandoned the
effort, and, lifting the suffering babe,
held it to her breast in despair. In that
hour how she longed for the heart and
the arm of Paul to lean upon!
It was not very long before Helga
came, though it had seemed to Christina
an interminable space of wretchedness.
The old wernan was only too familiar
with the tilisease ; she knew what ought
to be done, and she did it, But though
she spoke hopefully to Christina, it was
• evident that she was uneasy, for she
went often to the door and looked anxi-
ouslyfor the doctor. It was several
hournbefore he arrived, though Vedder
had truly spared no trouble to find and
bring hini to the sick child.
He came in like a Fate, weary and
wet,_ and not in touch sympathy with
Christina ;- for Vedder had thought it
best to tell him the whole truth. He
looked at the white-faced mother stern-
, ly, and then at the flushed, gasping little
sufferer in Weir arms.
"Too la.e r he muttered, lie is dy-
ing.'
"Oh, no, no, no I Save him, -save
him !" shrieked Christina.
" Be quiet ! He may live an hour.
He may live until dawn. No human
power can save him. (kid pity him!"
God help ,and release hunt"
Then Helga spoke " If this be so,
run thou for the minister—run thou
quick for him; the child is not baptized.
Oe God, the child is not baptized''
"What kind of women are you?" ,he
asked, angrily. But he mounted his
pony and rode away at its utmost speed.
• Then the terror and suffering deepen-
ed every moment. It was soon beyond
• the mother's power to endare. She laid
the child in Helga's armsaand fled into
another room, out of the sight and sound
of the death agony. Forced down hy
sorrow's hand upon her knees, her first
distracted irnploration was that God
wouldrelease her child from its suf.-
feriae. Just then her mother -heart
could think of nothing but the hopeless
iatensitynf its physical anguish. Ah'
thei-e are hours, even in this life, in
which the sinful soul taates of the un-
utterable woe of hell. .
Minute by minute of that awful night
was a separate torture to Christina.
Wringing her hands, restlessly walking
to and fro, now on her knees, now at the
window, moaning shivering, weeping,
,she endured the Chastisement she had
brought upon herself. At length on the
easteru horizon there was a pallor of
light; it was that early shudder of the
dawn which detaches so many lives—
• that mysterious hour u -hen all the fires
of nature burn low, and the dying cease
to struggle. Then Helga touched her
sadly, and said, "It is over ! He is
dead !"
• No fact in life is more solemn than the
apparent jarring of its elements. Life
and death, joy and sorrow, touch each,
other without our bespeaking. The
minister had-goae the previous evening
some miles into the interior to solemnize
a marriage. He had not intended to re-
turn until the next day, and the doctor's
appeal rouzed him from sleep. Out
from the house of feasting and rejoicing,
into the house of death an4 mourning,
he pasted. When he entered it, he saw
the dead child lying upon the hauch
made by two chairseand dressed for its
butial. Whiter than the white gown he
wore, the betediftd curves of hie small
, face were as firm and pure as if Death
intended them to last for ages.
Helga, was kneeling beside the corpse,
her brown seamed face and brown knot-- -ed alone, son etimes weeping with an

had been a chill and wretched one ;' and

thou art looking ill, and I can well see
that thou sleeps little, and eats less."
Thewhe told her -the terrible fear, in

But they do claim a 'single bracket for the

The reel is simplicity itself, and has more ad,

A special feature is Brass Rushing in which
