SISTER MARTHA.

bed there were hot, miseraoie tnata m her eyes, and she was a woman who sel dom wept. The next morning as soon as Ann opened the chamber door she saw that Something strange, had happened to Miss Mayhew. Her face looked almost trans parent with the shiny luster of mother of-pearl, and her eyes were wide open and glassy bright. She took hold of Ann's arm when she came to set down the tray, and said m a half whisper, "What made him come into the yard last night and up the steps?" "Lordl Miss Mayhew, what dp you mean?" ■ "Captain Bligh came into the yard; 1 heard him." Ann's face wore the set, hard look of perfect incredulity, but she laid her hand not tmgently on the thin, pale one that rested on the bedspread. "There, there," said she, aa if sooth ing an unreasonable baby; "don't take on so. Of course he never did come a-near."

CHAPTER m.

Sister Martha, m spite of her sonntl constitution and great natural vigor, passed two very bad nights. The demon of insomnia eat by her pillow and goaded her to the point of desperation. The second night a change had come over the temper of the weather, an autumnal change that set the wind •moaning around the corner of the house, % while dead leaves trailed off on the blast m long lines, and a black scud sped over the face of the moon. * Sister Martha did not close an eye until four o'clock m the morning. She tossed and turned, and creaked the bed stead—one of Mother Mayhew's high posters, rather rickety m the jointa— and every now and then raised herself on her elbows and hissed out between her teeth m a stage whisper, "I've got to do it, or I shall die!" thus witnessing to the stars that a burden lay on ber con science. Who could have believed that Mrs. Martha Whitcmnb, that stout and self confident dame, was ever subjected to punishment under the lash of Ne merfis? She, of all women, seemed the least open to such flagellation, though the black puffs under her eyes and the yellowness of her skin had, to Ann's eye, indicated some alteration of health. At last, at daylight, she fell asleep and dreamed that she was trying to force her way into a shining company with only one thin garment on and without stock ings and shoes, while she suffered aa agony of shame at her unclothed condi tion. In spite of the creaking of Sister Martha's bedstead, Miss Mayhew slept more soundly than she had for many a long month. The cool change seemed to brace her and dp ber good. She was folded like a child and cradled m the long swing of the wind, as it bowed the tops of the trees and sent the dead leaves scurrying. She lay snug and warm, breathing easily, and dreamed that she was dressed m white, walking m a rose garden, and as she looked the roses blos somed into the faces of little children she had known. Some of them were dead, but they were all smiling on her. turning their pretty heads to look as she passed. The sweetness of the dream seemed to finger with her some time after waking, with her vibrating nerves all pleasantly a-throb m every atom of her flesh. She was very sensitive to dreams and omens, what she called "intimations." Could it be that something good was going to happen? How long it seemed since any thing had happened m the strange mo notony of her life. At any rate she felt stronger and brighter that windy morn ing with its splendid broken gleams. There was life and excitement m the air. It seemed to stir her languid pulses. She rang for Ann Baskett to help her dress, and would have on her blue wrapper and white shawl and pink worsted slippers. She was going down to the sitting room to take her place by the window, and her face had a little anticipatory brightness m it as she gazed out on the bronzing tree tops. One bough of the big maple by the front gate was already a deep crimson, a col or that seemed to blow a trumpet blast as it sparkled m the sun. Sister Martha found her already down stairs when Ann had kindled a wood fire on the hearth, and the smell of the burning sticks was pleasant m the nostrils. It was the first time they had met since the "high tea." "Your party was a great success," Miss Mayhew said m a simple, imper sonal "way that was touching. "It I seemed real cheerful to have folks com ing to the house again; I felt as if moth er would like it if she could know, and father, too, for he was always fond of having company. 1 crep' out on the , stairs m th' dark and heard the deacon i telling his old stories—that one about the coon hanging by Ms tail, and how 1 the minister did lauglif!" ! She went musinf" along, feeling glad that the old house had redeemed its character for hospitality, the ideal so dear to her heart, so dread when pre sented m a concrete form involving re -1 sponsibility. Miss Mayhew was more 1 pleasantly expansive than was her wont with Sister Martha, who usually acted on her nerves like an east wind, but the latter had fallen into an unwonted sulky, silent mood; the reaction from the tea
