"My mistress is awake," the man said, with a very grave face, and a very constrained manner; "and the gentlemen in attendance desire me to say " He was interrupted, before he could give his message, by one of the medical men, who had followed him into the room. "I wish I had better news to communicate," began the doctor, gently.

The son laughed in his father's face silently, and, with a swift glance, surveyed him from head to foot. The father tearing his hands from the door posts, made a step toward his son and suddenly stopped short with a frown. Then Taras Mayakin, with one huge step, came up to his father and gave him his hand. "Well, let us kiss each other," suggested the father, softly.

A quick thought made Gwendolyn raise a face upon which was a forced expression that bore only a faint resemblance to a smile. "Boo!" she said, jumping out at him. Startled, he fell back.
