THAT GIRL OF JOHNSON’S. 128 dazed look in hers raised to his face. “You shall go as soon as itis best. JI will not let you go there now.” Her eyes searched his face, large and dark and beautiful eyes they were; she scarcely recognized him for the mo- ment. . “Why should I not go?” she asked, gravely. “Iam to nurse him; Dr. Dunwiddie has promised that I shall. Is he not my father?” But his hand was upon her srm strong and warm and tender, and she obeyed him silently. Her uncle left soon after, and Mrs. Allen sent a note to Dora explaining the strange scene. Dolores said no word ; she was waiting for them to call her to nurse her father ; her mind was full of that; she had no thought for this man who called himself her uncle, but who would have kept her from her father’s room. The doctor’s words grew con- fused the more she thought of them, and jangled them- selves together over and over in her mind. She scarcely heard what was going on around her; when her uncle stooped to kiss her forehead and promised that Dora should come to her as soon as it were possible she looked through and through him; she heard his words, but they made no impression upon her; her thoughts were in the quiet room beyond the closed door.
