FAIR TO SEE.

CHAPTER XXVII.

He had nothing to do

AFTER parting with Eila, Bertrand Cameron wandered about the streets for hours in a purposeless sort of way. -no object whatsoever-till to-morrow morning, when, at all events, he should see Eila again, and when he hoped she would be so far recovered as to admit of the discussion of their plans. He had nothing to do but think; and so he walked about, pondering in deep trouble on all their griefs and perplexities.

Her agitation had been most distressing, and it was all on his account; her illness most alarming, and he was the cause. What fathomless depths of love and generosity there were in a woman's heart! How she would have sacrificed herself
