A glad influence passed from this innocent group into the maiden's heart, like the glance of a sunbeam over a dreary landscape. "Is the kid yours, Milza?" she asked, with an affectionate smile.
A softer pillow never had maiden's head than Alixe Delavigne's throbbing bosom. "Did you not feel in your heart that love led me to your side, my darling? That I crossed the wide world to find you, and to fight my way to your heart?" murmured Alixe. "Ah! Justine always said there was a marvelous resemblance!" faltered Nadine. "She must be sent for now!

Raeburn was a great child lover, and had a habit of carrying goodies in his pocket, much to the satisfaction of all the children with whom he was brought in contact. He produced a bit of butterscotch, which restored the small maiden's serenity for a minute.
The prayer of the weak African was heard, and ere the sun went down a man of noble mien and noble heart stood at the maiden's bedside, bathing her swollen face, pushing back her silken curls, counting her rapid pulses, and once, when she slept, kissing her parched lips, e'en though he knew that with that kiss he inhaled, perhaps, his death!
