You looked in the wrung column.” Without a word the girl turned awsy, but not before Mr. Merrill mot marked the hopeless look which came oyer her face, undr he tears which dimmed the lustre of the dark,bright eyes. £ “Slay.” he said. “What do you know about sick people aud their wants?” “My mother was an invalid for years, and I was her only nurse,” It was indeed true. That Proyi dence which We so wrongly pall “chance” had led Grace to her grandfather’s door; and her moi hefV name, her mother’s soul shining hrough her eyes, led her straight into lits heart und lovo forover.

Already they looked on hOr as Hinnterloper,^^anddetermined, if poiisibie, to iHvo her back to iliV* from which siie had been escueil (the servants had been quiuk to tell of the humble home from which the new comer’s few posses sions had been brought). But with feigned kt idliness they welcomed oer. fearing lest perhaps the wealth ntd eiise they so much prized should he taken from them instead. Grace did'not tell'Iter grandfather f the slights and provocations, and he little refinements of cruelty which some women can practice wit h Elicit smiling faces, which were her poft-i'oi as the days went by.

By and by site told him hovy, one morning, Roso’s absence whs discov ered and Mrs. Merrill had come to her in great distress, willt a lotter from the willful girl saying she was tired of her humdrum lifo, and was goiitg to marry a young French gen tleman, Monsieur Allitire, who had iprcihised to take her to share the in iigltis of his Parisian home; non site knew that situ hud never really idved Dr. Lysle; and how she hopen iHi wmthl Hnd some one to con-vi.e him for her loss.
