The Doctor turned directly toward the narrow alley, merely touching his hat to her as he pushed its small green door inward, and disappeared, while she lifted her chin at the silent liberty and dropped her eyelids. Dr. Sevier went down the cramped, ill-paved passage very slowly and softly.

Lydia had a brighter face too. They went up again together after the meal. Another night passed. Lydia slept. She believed that the worst was over, and that there might after all be no postponement of the marriage. For Thyrza had become very quiet; she seemed worn out with struggle, and resigned. Her sleep, she said, had been good. Yet her eyelids were swollen; no doubt she had cried in the night.

"You'd better turn in and keep out of harm's way." Dick, however, was too proud to do this. "No, thank you; I'd rather stay on deck," he answered. "I'll pull and haul, and help the sailors in any way you like." "I won't ask you to do that; only sit down on the skylight, and should a sea strike us hold on with your eyelids."

"Oh, because," and the eyelids droop, for the lashes are long and black, though she would fain, look forever into the blue eyes above her. "Oh, because it is simply a woman's reason; give me your own." "You are cruel, because to whom much is given, of him is much required."

In the centre of the tent, on a mat on which the captains were about to sit down, there was a dish of smoking gourds. The Barbarians fastened their eyes upon it with a shivering in all their limbs, and tears came to their eyelids; nevertheless they restrained themselves. Hamilcar turned away to speak to some one. Then they all flung themselves upon it, flat on the ground.

Her long dark eyelashes sloped still upon her white cheek, like the low branches of a cedar upon the lawn at its foot. But he knew she was not dead yet, for he could feel her heart beating. At length she lifted her eyelids, looked up in his face, gave a low happy laugh, like the laugh of a dreaming child, and was fast asleep again in a moment. Alec hesitated no longer.

The memory of her good-by to me, however, is very distinct. She came into the room, cloaked and hatted, ready for the taxi which was to take her to the station. Katie was to go into New York with her, and see her safely on the train. Her face was pale, and I noticed listlessly that her eyelids were reddened as if she had been weeping.

"I've just been wondering who I could get to sail Mr. Johnson's boat back to the farm." Edna's eyelids lifted. She wondered if her old friend had determined to invite himself. "You know where the Tide Mill is, I suppose?" went on Dunham, for Benny looked unillumined. "It is Thinkright's boat he wishes to have sailed back," said Edna. "Oh, yes," answered Benny. "I know."

To Europa, once on a time, a sweet dream was sent by Cypris, when the third watch of the night sets in, and near is the dawning; when sleep more sweet than honey rests on the eyelids, limb-loosening sleep, that binds the eyes with his soft bond, when the flock of truthful dreams fares wandering.

In such a case, cease at once all irritating and painful treatment and drugs. First, wash the eyes by gently dropping over them distilled water, or boiled rain water which has been cooled. The water should be used about blood heat. After an hour or so, have another warm bathing by means of gentle pouring over the eyes, but do not rub the eyelids.
