10 THE COURIER. , "Git up, quick m you kin, Lem, and run far the doctor. Maw is awful tick. She don't know nothin', and ia talkin' allkiadaofrubbieh." -Pooh! that ain't no sign ahe'a aick. She kea been doin' that fer" "ham, doa't say another word. You git up and do aa I tell you to." It proved a long and wearing fever. All through the beautiful dream-like days Mra. Buzzy in her delirium trod over thorny patha of doubt and grasped perpetually after the fleeting bow of promise. Night after night ahe would aiak back exhausted, moaning despair ingly,,"!, can't onderatand one on it I can't make head ner tail or what they mean!" Then Sueie and Lem Iiatened in wonder tot tie tender notea of their father's voice aa ha miniatered to the sufferer. "There! don't you worry none, Maw, it'll all come right." Then came a day, after a weary wait ing, when the pale light of reason re turned to Mra. Buzzy's tortured face She looked with inquisitive eyea through the window by her bed and noticed vaguely that the great elm trees outside were leafless; noticed that there were no gay little birds, and that the bar of sunshine which lay across her waste hands waa cold. "Hev I been aick, Thaddeus?' Tea, Maw, you've hed quite a brash o' sickness, ketcbed cold, I guess." "Ia it ia it all over," with a longer, more coaprebeading glance at the shivering trees. "Yea," he replied gently, "every thing's all over." "Who waa who wae" ahe demanded weakly, but he laid a restraining band on the damp forenead and answered with a loving understand ing rarely credited to the plain and lowly. "Never mind 'bout that now, Maw. Docaayayou must keep quiet. I'll tell ye all 'bout it in a day or two. Bat you don't to need to worry none, 'cause the country's saved." Mra. Buzzy closed her eyes with a sesse of infinite relief that the Lord had removed a too heavy responsibility from her inadequate shoulders.
