"I am here, Harold, don't you see me ?" His head ceased to roll and he looked at her with eyes that made her heart grow sick--then a slow, faint smile came to his lips.

"He'll cross the river all right--and land on our side." Two days later Mr.Excell, big and brown, his brow also knotted with anxiety, entered the room, and fell on his knees and threw his long arm over the helpless figure beneath the coverlet.

"Harry! My boy, do you know me ?" Harold looked up at him with big staring eyes and slowly put out his hand.
