Something in its pathetic droop and distress called him once again to her side, and with fond, clasping arms he drew the sobbing girl to his heart and pressed kiss after kiss upon the upturned, tear-wet little face. "Try to sleep, my darling!" he murmured. "Mother will wake you at four, and we'll have a moment before I go!" "Mother won't have to wake me!" she cried, clinging to him the while.
"Oh, father!" said Frances, in terrified voice, lifting her face in its tear-wet loveliness. "I must make the train that leaves Meander at four o'clock tomorrow morning, I shall have to leave here within " he flashed out his watch with his quick, nervous hand "within three-quarters of an hour.

She was silent. He looked down at her flushing cheeks and tear-wet lashes attentively. "You are fanciful to-day, my pet," he said at last. "You've been tiring yourself too much. You must rest.
Instead of the two tired little sleepy-heads that could barely finish supper, awake, when night came, we lay in our trundle-bed, whispering softly to each other and staring at the dark with tear-wet eyes our spiritual barometers warning us of a coming change.

Then one of the widows stepped out, and approaching the girl, laid her hand on her arm. "Are ye making a mock of me, Mary Bell?" she said, "Or is it God's truth ye're speaking to my husband lying there?" The distraught creature called Mary Bell looked up with a sudden passion glowing in her tear-wet eyes.
