PHIL'S FAIRIES.

Author of "Princess Idleways," etc.
Chapter IX.
A VISIT FROM THE YOUNG DOCTOR.
"Now, Phil," said Miss Rachel, "I am not going to be so busy for a while, and though you can not study yet, for the doctors say you must not, I shall read aloud to you a little every day. Graham has promised to come often to visit you, and with our boating and driving, and pleasant friends coming to stay with us, I think we shall have rather a nice summer. What do you think?"
Phil's face lighted up with a grateful smile, which grew into rather a sober expression.
