At this thruet at her neatness, Mrs. Brock, who prided hersolf on her hotMekeeping, turned livid, but still she made no aaswor. She busily swept what wa left of tho duet from her parlor and the mud from her stops into a little pile, and waited until Iter adretwary, who had disappeared from the window, emerged from the door, is was her custom on similar occasions, laden with immaculate cleanlag cloths aad a shining tin baein filled with suds, aad though there was Wrfltty a spsek wfea the mums, te wind baring blewa tb duet aside, Mrs. Bray jealously and ostentatiously applied the suds to glass already shining. Mrs. 15 nick, maliciously watching, waited until the

" You'll rue tills to the day of your death, you spiteful huzzy!" she said, in a voice choked with paosioa. Trembling with rage, she dropped her cleaning cloths and rushed Into the house. Aimleas and purposeless, like oae gone mad, she rtuhed from the front of the hottse to the back; there, through the open door, she espied at the bottom of the garden Baby Bruek and Baby Bray, making mud pies and playing- together la the utmost harmony.

These infanta did not share the hostile feelings of their mothers. They were, on the contrary, so strongly attached that they were never happy apart. Being too young to understand what the family honor of their rospeetive houses required, there had Wea no effort made to separate them. aow Mrs. Bray's anger was at heat. She not, only hated Mrs. rock with aa intensity of feeling she Jd no words to describe, but she Mod every thing belonging to her, Md the sight of the two children to(tthor made her furious. " I'll spank that child within an inch hie life if ho don't stop playing with Hurt Bruek young- one. Elmer, Elmer,

spot where she sank. By heroic endeavor Mrs. Bray reached Uiat spot also, and just, as baby May was sinking for the second time, she caught and held her fast. The child wae unconscious, but still alive. With a cry of thanksgiving and a choking sob she saw that. Carefully holding the little head above water, she turned and tried to reach the shore. It was not far off, but her wet, heavy clothing and the burden she bore, dragged her down and impeded every motion, and in going back she was obliged to

hausted, and the last few strokes required so great an effort that they

taxed her falling powers beyond endurance. Clasping tightly the child she had saved from the water, she fell unconscious upon the shore she had gained. But help was just at hand. The men from the mill, who had come too late to rescue thorn from the watoc. raised In their arms the two

dripping, unconscious figures lying on the shore, and a sad little procession followed In their wake, as they bore Mrs. Bray back to her house again, and laid her on the bed. They laid baby May down on a lounge opposite. A messenger was dispatched for the doctor, and one of the women In the

little crowd ran to find the absent mother. It was one who from the opposite bank had witnessed the scene from first to last, and had given the

alarm at the mill. Being no friend of Mrs. Bray's, she told the story to Mrs. Bruek when she found her, with sundry damaging embellishments of her own. With rage and anguish tugging at her heart, the frightened mother flew rather thm ran to the house of her arch enemy, and panting and breathless, rushed into the room whore

her baby was lying. All had been done that could be done, but the spark of life in that little, fragile form had gone out forever. The doctor had cleared the room of the crowd, and It waa strangely quiet. He rose to meet the poor mother as she entered. She looked at him with wild, beseeching face; then, seeing the answer to the question she dared not ask,

in the grave compassion of his, the stricken mother, with an agonizing wall, fell on her knees beside her dead. She kissed the little face, while her tears rained upon it. With words of

now gladly, gladly, if that would bring her back, and I would do more than that," she went on wildly; "to lay her In your arms alive, I would give my baby's life." In her passionate remorse, she was clinging to the knees of the woman she had wronged, the tears that were running down her face were falling on her feet ."Say you forgive me!" she cried in an agony of supplication. "Tell me you will try to forgive me or I shall go

mad!" Hut without one gleam of pity, the cold, set, relentless face of the woman to whom she prayed looked down upon

her. Mrs. Bruek was not hard-heartea or revengeful, but her baby lay dead before her, dead, from this woman's fault and she was in the first shock and passion of her grief; and cast in so different a mould, she could not understand the stormv. Impassioned, undis

Striving to tear her sell irom ue

strong clasp that held her, and spurning the prostrate figure at her feet, the woman to whom she prayed said, sternly: "I do mean it It makes me worse to see you there. Get up and go away." Mrs. Bray ceased her supplication. For a moment she neither moved nor spoke. The silence of utter despair fell upon her. Then she roe to her foet with adaaed, uncertain, distraught air.

Bruek by the arm. Ho so far forgot

himself that he shook her. "Woman." he said, sternly, "do you know what you have done? " -Mrs. Bruek did not feel the vise-like grasp upon her arm. She did not hear him. In a horror so great that for a moment even her dead baby was forgotten, she looked on the ruin she had wrought The wild laughter ended in a wilder cry, and throwing up her arms MrJ. Bray fell to the floor. They raised her up and laid her on the bed.

A burning fever was upon her, and she muttered incoherently : " Doctor, Is there any hope? " gasped Mrs. Bruek, as she bent over her. "One chance out of ten for her life," said the doctor, grimly. In an aeonv of remorse that exceed

ed, if it were possible, the remorse of the woman who had prayed to her but a few moments previous, Mrs. Bruok hung over the prostrate form upon the bed. She took her place by the bedside, and from that moment she hardly left it She knew no rest; she scarcely ate or slept Night and day she kept her tireless, unceasing watch. To bring the woman she had wronged back to life and reason, if it wore possible, that was the task she had sot herself, and health and strength, her Very life it

self, were offered up upon this altar of

atonement She left her ueau oaoy ic be cared for by others, and when the time came to bury it from sight they brought herohild to the bedside she hardly quitted for a last kiss, and a last look. The dreary time orept on, without one ray of hope or coralort, while the woman she watched trembled between life ami death. How long it lasted she could not tell? t her tortured heart It seemed an age of suffering. But stars illumed this night of anguish.
