14 THE QUILL welcome to the agonized watchers than ever the stars were to storm driven mariners. Then the old man broke down. Catching Estelle’s hand he knelt beside the bed and kissed the white fac2 passionately. the tears of joy and gratitude streaming down his haggard face. Beside him knelt his wife, mingling her tears with his. The girl smiled and tried to speak, but her voice was too weak, and she sank off into a refreshing slumber: then the two watchers departed, and in the gloom -of the fast approaching night their hands met and silently they thanked Him who sends both joy and sorrow. It was late the next morning when the doctor made his appearance on the street. He walked directly to the business place of Turner. That young gentleman was busy about his beloved machines, and did not see the physician as he entered and stood watching him at his work. When he did see him, he arose with alacrity and advanced to him. “How's the little one?” he asked. “Oh. a good deal better, thanks to you and your machine,” said Wel's. Then to hide his feelings, he took on a gruffer tone. “How much does a thing like that cost?” he asked. “Twenty-five hundred,” replied Turner in as nearly his natural voice as was possible, for his heart was beating rapidly. “Send for one. Tell ’em to send it double quick, too. he added, then turning on his heel he strode off toward his office. Turner danced a jig from pure joy. Then he went to his little desk and wrote his first order. “By Jove! what luck that I just happened along,” he remarked. GC. S510).
