I received a paper containing a marked announcement of his death, giving accurately his name and age. There could be no mistake. Why do you ask that question?" "Nothing, only I've been thinking of him this morning. There's a mark on Adah's temple similar to Ad's, only not so plain, and I did not know but she might possibly be related. Have you noticed it?"
"Ad may pick Adah's eyes out before I get home," was his laughing remark as he vaulted into his saddle and dashed off across the fields, where, beneath the warm Kentucky sun, the snow was already beginning to soften.
Hastings' chamber. "Make a hot one there," he said. "Pile the coals on high, so as to heat up quick." As Hugh passed through the hall on his way downstairs, he could not refrain from pausing a moment at the door of Adah's room. The fire was burning, he knew, for he heard the kindling coals sputtering in the flames, and that was all he heard.
"She had not noticed particularly, she did not suppose it was important. She was not certain, but she believed yes, she was nearly sure the letter was 'M." "Oh, you do not know how much good you have done me," Anna cried, and laying her throbbing head on Adah's neck, she wept a torrent of tears, wrung out by the knowing that Charlie had not forgotten her quite.
Hugh had no suspicion of the truth, but Alice guessed it readily, and could scarcely forbear throwing her arms around Adah's neck and whispering to her how glad she was. She had said to her softly: "I am to be your sister, Adah are you willing to receive me?" and Adah had only answered by a warm pressure of the hand she held in hers and by the tears which shone in her brown eyes.
Again the familiar tones thrilled on Adah's ears as Dr. Richards replied: "Nothing very particular. I only wished to say a few words, 'Lina. I want you to like her, to make up, if possible, for the love I ought to give her." "Ought to give her! Oh, brother, are you taking 'Lina without love? Better never make the vow than break it after it is made."
"I may be unjust to him," she thought, then to Adah she said: "As you have told me your story in part, will you tell me the whole?" There was no vindictiveness now in Adah's face, nothing save a calm, gentle expression such as it was used to wear, and the soft brown eyes drooped mournfully beneath the heavy lashes as she told the story of her wrongs. "And Hugh?" Alice said.
I feel that I shall need an exposure of several weeks. There is now but one obstacle in the way." "Ah, yes! I remember what you said. It's time you explained." "Not yet." And I turned and answered Adah's perplexed and frowning brow. "You will find me in that paper, Miss Adah, as one of its chief faults.
Richards in a low tone, "it might be well for Anna to have a maid, and this one is certainly different from the others who have applied." "But the child. We can't be bothered with a child. Evidently he is not governed at all, and brother's wife coming by and by." This last caught Adah's ear and changed the whole current of her thoughts and wishes. Greatly to Mrs.
He felt that he was repulsed, and, with a wail which smote painfully on Adah's heart, he fell forward on his face, sobbing: "Oh, Adah, Lily, pity me, pity me, if you can't forgive! I have slept for three nights in the woods, without once tasting food! My ankle is sprained, my strength is gone, and I wish that I were dead!"
