A great, great pity for him swelled up in Jessie's heart, and drove out most of her shyness. "I am so sorry you are ill," she said sympathetically. "Are you always like it?"

We saved twelve thousand dollars and put it into Government bonds." "You couldn't have anything safer, at any rate," remarked the lawyer. "I think you did exceedingly well."
