He knew that it must have ii;B way. > e sat patiently listening, speaking when he thought a word would be useful; nncl Lord Oliarle bod never knew how much be owed to his kind unwearied patience. Presently he went up to look at his wife, and, kneelibg by her tide, nature's great comforter oamo to him. He wept' as tbbtfgh his heart, woqld break—tears that eased the bumiDg (br^io,. and lightened the heavy heart. Dr Leteom war a skilful, kindly man 5 ha let the tears' flow, and made no attempt to stop them. Then, after a time, disguised in a glass of wine, ho administered a sleeping potion, whiohsoon tookeffeot.

Deep aympafcby and pity were felt and expressed ; kind-hearted mothers wept over the babe ;- some few were allowed to eater the solemn deathchamber j and these went away haunted, as Dr Evans was, by r the memory of the i?* e| y deal face. Through it all, Lrd tharlewood slept th* heavy sleep of exhaustion and fatigue, and it was the omtest mercy that could have befallen him. I

Lbo hour of wakening was to'come— Steplieu Utaooa. never fo'got it The bereaved man was fran*id in his grief, mad with ino Bense of bis loss.
