And, giving Rosebud explicit in-

Rosebud could count her heart -

tried heart would break thee and

The knob turned softly and Dora
entered,
• "Are you quite ready," she asked,
in a low whisper, .for the room was
so dark she could not 'see the little,
trembling form in the corner, "You
have 110 time to -lose,"
Two little hands instantly clasped
her own. "Tell me, Dora;" cried
Rosebud, piteously, "it was not you
who sent—ine—the—poieonea—food ?"
she faltered. "You would not bo

For a moment Rosebud hesitated.
She had lost . all right to the mime

tPressing Rosebud's cold, clinging
little fingers, she glided swiftly and
:silently as a shadow from the room.
And with her eyes fixed terrificelly
on the door, with a stifling, throb-

tought, nand although -I" am awfully

"Never mind me," replied Dora ;
"I seem. to live a chained life."
Without another word Dora boldly
pushed the trembling little finger out

At the lower end of the hall she
folily stumtied over one of the
watchers, who was dozing comfort-

The woman sprung to her feet in an

"Why. Dora Grey, how stupid you

angrily. "Wbat are you doing in

Rosebud tittered some inarticulate

before her; poor ltosehed trusted
blindly to God to turn her feet in
the right direetion.

Too terrified to utter a single
word, Rosebud attempted to pass.
"Where's all your manners? have

Where are you going?"
"Don't talk to me!" cried • nese--

"Then you just • suffer for yovr in-

man, angrily, turning on his heels

"I didn't sec him!" she muttered,

"That's 'a cursed lie!" retorted the
man, furiously, striding back to her

the shoulder, "What's ,your object

trembling lett her 'voice should be-

"Humph!" ejaculated the turnkey.
"A woman's excuse always when elle

The Joys of Yesterday

Is ragged and unclean.
The blossoms are forgotten
Whose fragrauee filled the air,
We only see the ugly tree,

Our pleasures are the blossoms
That gladden for a day,
Our troubles are the dead old trunks
That loom along the way,
