INCURABLE. » (Continued.) "Wouldst thou reopen xny wounds?** "Farewell, then." He put out his hand timidly. She seized it and held it passionately. "Yes, yes, Herzel! Do not leave me! Come and see me here — as a friend, an acquaintance, a man I used to know. The others are thoughtless — they forget me — I shall lie here — perhaps the angel of death will forget me too. " Her grasp tightened till it hurt him aoutely. "Yes; I will come. I will oome often, " be said, with a sob of physical pain. Her olasp loosened. She dropped his hand. "But not till thou art married, " she said. "Be it so." "Of course thou must have a 'still wedding. ' The English synagogue will not marry theo. " "The Maggid will marry me. " "Thou wilt show me her cesubah when thou oomest next?" "Yes; I will borrow it of her. " A week passed. He brought the mar- riage certificate. - Outwardly she was oalm. Sheglanoed through it. "God be thanked," Bhe said and handed it baok. They chatted of indifferent things, of the doings of the neighbors. When he was going, she said, "Thou wilt come again?" "Yes; I will oome again." "Thou art so good to spend thy time on me thus. But thy wife. Will she not be jealous?" He stared, bewildered by her strange, eery moments. "Jealous of thee?" he murmured. She took it m its contemptuous sense, and her white lips twitohed, but ehe only said, "Is she aware thou hast come here?" He shrugged his shouldera "Do I know? I have not told her. " "Tell her." "As thou wlshest." There was a pause. Presently the woman spoke: "Wilt thou not bring her to see me? Then she will know that thou bast no love left for me. " He flinohed as at a stab. After a pain- ful moment he said, "Art thou m ear- nest?" "I am no marriage jester. Bring her to me. Will she not come to see an in- valid? It is a Mitzvah (good deed) to visit the sick. Ifc will wipe out her trespass. " "She shall oome. " She came. Sarah stared at her for an instant with poignant; ourjosity. Then her eyelids drooped to shut out the daz* Sarah stared at her for an instant, ' zle of her youth and freshness. Herzel'a wife moved awkwardly and sheepishly. But she was beautiful — a buxom, come- ly country girl from a Russian village, with a swelling bust and a oheek rosy with health and confusion. Sarah's breast was raoked by a thou- sand needles, but she found breath at last. "God bless — thee, Mrs, — Kretznow 1" she said gaspingly. She took the girl's hand. "How good thou art to oome and see a sick creature!" "My husband willed it, "the new wife said m olumsy deprecation. She had a simple, stupid air that did not seem wholly due to the constraint of the strange situation. "Thou wast right to obey. Be good to. him, my ohild. For three years he wait- ed on me when I lay helpless. He has suffered much. Be good to him 1" With an impulsive movement she drew the girl's head down to her and kissed her on the lips. Then, with an anguished cry of "Leave me for today I" she jerked the blanket over her face and burst into tears. She heard the oouple move hesitatingly away. The girl'B beauty shone on her through the opaque ooverings. "O God!" she wailed. "God of Abra- ham, Isaao and Jacob, let me die now! For the merits of the patriarchs take me soon, take me soon!" Her vain, passionate prayer, muffled by the bedclothes, was wholly drowned by ear piercing shrieks from the ward, above — screams of agony mingled with half articulate aocusations of attempted poisoning — the familiar paroxysm of the palsied woman who olung to life. The thrill passed again through Sis- ter Margaret. She uplifted her sweet, humid eyes. "Ah, Christ," she whispered, "if I could die for her.!" THB END. A Good Income. There is a little patch of land abut- ting on one of the magnificent build- ings that flank Victoria street, West* minster, London, whioh has remained waste for more than 20 years. It is sur- rounded by a high boarding, oovered with advertisements. The income deriv- ed from these is suoh that it would not pay the proprietor to substitute a build- ing. -—*.; "~*~ What He Needed. "I did hope for an artistic career, " said the disappointed looking man, ' 'but I met with difficulties I couldn't con- quer. What I needed was atmosphere. " "I see. The same old trouble. What were you, an author or a painter?" "Neither. I was learning to play the trombone, but I was najturally short of breath."— TO — «•' — — TO POULTRY BREEDERS.— BeginnerB oould not make a better start) than by i purchasing a trio of Partridge Coohins, the bast strain m the colony, from Pblham Yards, Any day, except Sunday, from 12
