Dalton!" was all I could say at the moment. He started, as if from sleep, and turned his sad blue eyes upon me, with a quiet wonder. "It is you little Amey, is it?" he said, at length, taking both my hands and bending down towards me. "How are you, little one; are you well and happy?" "I am not little Amey any more, Mr.
We stood for a few seconds in silence, during which I looked abstractedly into the space before me. I knew that his eyes were turned upon me, although I could not see them. Suddenly he said in a low tone, almost in a whisper. "I wish I could read your thoughts, Amey?" I looked at him quickly, and laughed.
"Amey, that is all I want to hear you have spoken openly and honourably, you have done me the fullest justice I could ask. I believe your simple, earnest promises, I could not do otherwise, it would kill me to doubt you now. I shall go back to my toil with a lighter heart than I have had for many a day."
"I didn't see the use" I added, half scornfully, "I am not the Amey Hampden to the world, now, that I used to be." "You are to me you will always be!" This was a most stable friendship. How good and sincere he was! "Thank you, Mr. Dalton, it is kind of you to say so, a friend in need, you know, is a friend indeed."
"Well, Amey, so have I missed you, at least I have often thought of you in my travels and wondered how you were getting on. I need not tell you," he continued teasingly, "how often I have been haunted by the dreadful threat you made when I saw you last about " "Now, don't say any more," I interrupted, "I remember all that well enough.

The reader will not wonder that my curiosity became still more deeply aroused as I took out the neatly folded paper which was enclosed, and read the following "MY DEAR AMEY, I have learned with profound regret of your dear father's recent demise, and hasten to offer you my most earnest condolence.
After a pause, he spoke again: "You have promised to marry Campbell, have you not?" he asked. "Yes Mr. Dalton, I think he is a worthy fellow, don't you?" I replied. "He is Amey, he is. I trust you will both be happy," was the distracted rejoinder, and then Bayard knocked timidly at the door; I knew what the summons meant and starting to my feet at once, I went and obeyed it.
"I want to know Doctor," said I, full of my purpose, "whether my father is in danger of immediate death." He started at my question and turned quickly around. "I am afraid that his chances of life are few indeed Amey," he answered earnestly. "Perhaps it is as well to let you know." "It is better" said I, "it is your duty," and with these words I left the room as abruptly as I had entered it.
