“I have no doubt heads Were harder to turn then, Dr. Lawe,” said Laurence Jinly._ r_ “836 what clever Dr. Lowe thinks of your Mr. Raymr, Violets,” said he, looking anxiously into my eyes. “Now listen, my dealing. Don’t trust him, don’t trust any. body while 1 am away, and dOn’t believe what anybody may tell you about me. \Vhat would you do if they shOWed you the certifi- cate of my marriage to anuther woman, Violet ?” ' ngoth laughed at the (1d man’s rude nese. " Well, take care some one else doesn’t turn her’s while you are away 1" said the doctor glaring at him ferociously; and he told the coacbman to dnve on, and drew up the Window sharply. This last hit struck poor Laurence as an evzl omen ; and when I told him that I must go 113 now. and that I should see him again on the marrow, he flung his arms around me in such distress that I did not know wha“: to say to comfort him. “ Oh, Laurence, you a to 139 _mar1ji§_d, are you '.’_” " Is that-young Reade? Is that you Lau- rence I" said the doctor pe( ring out of the carriagewindow into the deep shadows of the trees behind me. Laurmce came forward. " Yes. Dr. Lowe.” “ 0h, ah!

But Laurence’s terrible excitement had communicated itself to me. and I staggered down the drive, hardly able to see where I was going ; and. when I had got to the bottom, with only the lawn at the side and the gravel-space in front be- tween me and the house, I stopped for a moment, and clung to a birch~tree for sup- port while I dried my eyes before presenting myself at the front door. I had told J ane to come down and open it for me when she heard me rin ; and I hoped with all my heart it would in she, and that that horrid Sarah would not have taken it into her head to sit up, for I did not want her to see my tear-stained face. The doctor was an old bachelor, famed for his rudeness as much as for his skill. Mr. Rayner did not like him, I knew ; and on that account I had had at first some doubts abnut sending for him ; but, as he was well known to be by far the best doctor in Bea- consburg, I had resolved to risk in. Now I began to repent having done so. But. just as I was going to leave the shelter of the trees and cross the gravel- space to the portico, I stopped, for I saw in the gloom a. figure making its way across the lawn towards the back of the house. It was coming from the path among the trees which led to the stable. I strained my (eyes, but there was a. cloud passing before the moon, and I could only see that it was a. man, and that he was carrying what looked like a small trunk ; and it seemed heavy. “There was only a. silly little servant up therewith the child. She says that is your room.” “ Yes, Dr. Lowe." “And is it tr'le that Mrs. Rayner sleeps on the ground floor I" “ Yes, quite true.” “ \Vell, then. you may think yourself lucky, young lady. For, if I lived in that house, 1 should let the people I wanted to gel: rid of sleep at the botbon, and keep the top for mvsell." -. n “ Ah, well. there is no accounting for tastes; and, if Mrs. Rayner has a, fancy for building her sepulchre, why, there is nobody very eager to prevent her, I dare say I" said he_drily. lawn towards th coming from the led to the stable there was a clou and I could ouls that he was car smatl trunk : an CHAPTER XX â€"CONTI.\'UED. “ So soon?

We were interrupted by ihesound of a. car- riage coming up the drive ; it was Dr. Lowe's brougham returning from the house. 1 went to the carriage-window, and he told me that Haidee was suffering at present only from a bad feverish cold, but that we must be careful with her, for it might turn to something worse, and he should call again to see her in the morning. He said that the child's chest was weak, that the damp place was the worst thing for her, and that he should like to see her parents to advise them to take her away to some drier cli- mate, as Soon as she was well enough to be moved. “Mind, she musn’t be moved yet," said be. “She is very well where she itsâ€"nice warm room. high out of the damp. But the lower part of the house strikes like a. vault.” IN GMDEN BONIDS. you Exre not going away ‘l‘lfiioiv-vr 61d you sleep, darling ?" said I, sitting on _the bg@ and ki‘s'ajng hf]. ' I 1 I told her to go to bed as fast as she could; and, when I had followed her Lip-stairs and seen her into the nursery, I went softly to the head of the kitchen stairs, and, as I heard no sound and saw no light, I slipped down with my candle. The side-door by which Sarah and Mr. Rayner used to go to and from the stables was njar, and just in- side was a small old brown portmanteau. I did not dare to go all the way down to in- spect it closely, as I own I should have liked to do ; but in the view I got of it, as I held my candle over my head and peered at it curiously. it struck me that I had seen it before somewhere. Then I turned and fled guilcily tip-stairs to my room. Haidee was sleeping and looked less feverish than when 1 went an ay. Jane had built up the fire carefully, so that it might keep in all night, and placed the drink the docmr had ordered on a little table beside the child. Her bed had been placed at the right-hand side of the fireplace. facing the door, and my screen had been put round the back to shut out all draught from the windows. I was very tired, and the moment I laid my head on the pillow I fell soundly asleep, and didinot wake until the morning. fiVHEinVeé velas already awake, End undoubt- edlyAbetter: ‘ . . . .. -n -~.r And she closed her eyes, as if to shut out the thought of something. " You shall stay up here till you are quite Well again, darling,” said I. inwardly resolving to beg that she might sleep in my room permanently. “ Oh, beautifully, Miss Christie l I hardly ever woke up once, and when I did I watched the beautiful fire ; I could just see it when I lay with my head so. It was so nice and warm up here. I wish mamma was up here: I should like to be up here always. I think I should have nice dreams up here, not like the ones I have down- stairs." " Miss Christie you know you dream sometimes with your eyes wide open, just as if you were awake? I dreamt a. dream like that last night.” “ Sarah’s been' askifli where you were, miss, and, as I let the doctor in, I told her you came back with him. I guessed as you’d come back safe, miss, when the doc- tor said as how a. young gentleman was with you,” said J we. with elaborate arch- 11985. “ That was because you were ill. darling. When they are 111 they dream like that.” “ Do theyâ€"quite plain. like as if it was all quite real?" “Yes ; sometimes they think they see people and talk to people.” l “ That was like my dream. I dreamt it was while 1 was looking at the fire the door there opened quite gently and softly, just as if it moved qmte of itself, and then I saw papa’a face, and he had in his hand some thing red and sparkling; and. just when the door came quite wide open, I thought I sat up in bedI and he looked at me. And then the door seemed to shut quite softly again, and I didn’t hear anythingâ€"and that was all.” “ That wasn't really a. dream, darling. It waa just a fancy because you were ill.” “ Not a. dream 1 Papa didn’t really ccme, did he 1’" “Oh. no, darling 1 Papa is away in Lon. don.

For it was now between eleven and tWelve o’clock. Was it Tom Parkespaying a late visit to Sarah, knowing the master was away? Or was it the mysterious servant Gordon, thinking Mr. Rayner was at home? Or was it a burglar? But then a burglar, I argued to myself, would hardly be likely to carry things to the house he was going to rob, but rather to take things away; and the trunk he was carrying seemed to be heavy already. He had disappeared behind the back of the house by this time, and, as I was curious to know what would happen next, I waited, trembling. creeping in among the trees, and in a. few minutes had the satis- faction of seeing him reappear, followed by Sarah. And, the cloud having passed over the face of the moon, I saw that it was in- deed Tom Parkes ; and then I would have fiiven the world to know what he had rought her. . . n \,),,L-‘L ...:A.L “ Dreams areuvery strange things, I think.

The impression which Sarah’s talk with the stranger in the plantation had given me of Tom’s desperate wickedness had faded a good deal from my mind by this time ; but this strange si ht revived it. VVbst if Torn -â€"plecid, stoli -looking, honest-faced Tom, as I had once thought himâ€"were in reality a thief? And what if Sarah, in her master’s absence, had been ersuaded by him to keep stolen property? "i‘nere had been something stealthy in his manner of sneaking across the lawn in the shadow with his burden which had suggested this thought ; but, on the other hand, was it not much more probable that he had been turned ofi at Denham Court, and had brought some of his owu personal propertyI intending to take up his abode at the Alders for a few days, in the master’s absence? The all-powerful Sarsh might even dare that, relying upon her power to make herself unpleasant for the rest of the household to keep her secret. They disappeared up the stable path, and I took the opportunity to dart across the gravel-space to the front door and ring as gently as I could. Jane came down in a tew minnfies, very s]eepy, and let me in. For I was beginning since last night, when I had witnessed her real feeling about her child, to be very sorry for Mrs. Rayner, and to wonder whether I could not draw nearer to her in some way through Haidee, and, through understanding her better, learn to sympathize with her still more. Her misery had seemed so real, and, on the other hand. I had never seen her so utterly broken down and helpless. \Vhen once the mask of cold self-control which she usually wore had disappeared, she seemed such a weak thing that it appeared scarcely possible that she could have such a force of obstinacy in her as Mr. Rayner had described her to Mad‘ 1161' had or sane, should never of night afraid of her again. I only felt utterly eor ry for hr 1'; and anxious to let her know how much 1 longed in some Way to cheer her dull life. Why was she so reticent to her hus- band? What if I. being a. woman, and haw- ing‘now established, through my care of her child. some claim on her gratitude, could Win my Way to her heart altogether, per- suade her to leave Geldham for a time, and meet M; Rayner on his return with the tri» umpham news that at 1331; his wife was ready to break through her apathy and come been into the world of men again ? The thought made my heart beat ‘aater, and I longed to begin my delicate work at once. I had not looked at the clock again, but surelv it was very dark for half-past seven 1 Yet Laurence was not there I And, as I stood wondering whether something was Wrong, I heard the churchclock strike eight What awful mistake had I made? Was be gone? Should I really not see him again? A bit of paper half hidden in the grass, not on my seat, but under it, caught my eye. It was a leaf torn from a. pocket-book. On It was scrawled in pencil, in Laurence's handwritingâ€" “Good-bye, my darling! Remember What I prophesied last night,and it no other warning will serve you, take this one. I called at the Alders at seven, and was told by Sarah that you were tired out with watching by Haidee, and were asleep. I I come here to-night, and you are not here. know it; is a trick, and I know who is at the bottom of it. When I left you last night, there were two men in a cart outside the stable-gate of the Alders. If anything happens. write. Write to me at the fol- lowing address.” Then followed the ad- dress, and the scrawl ended withâ€"“I have spaken to Mrs. Manners. Good-bye, my darling I Take care of yourself for the next six weeks, and you shall never need to take care of yourself again. "Your devotedly loving ” LAURENCE." I kissed the note. thrust it into the front of my frock, and fled into the house and into the schoolroom. Sarah was just turning away from the mantelpiece; and by the clock it vgas just four minutesnpast eight. seemed to me to be getting very dark too. When the hands of the schoolroom clock pointed to twenty minutes past, I put on my shawl, and had opened the window to go out, when Sarah came in. .. vs I followed her out of the room, suppress- iu-g my impatience as well B51 could. But the task did not really seem to take long. In what appeared to be about a quarter of an hour I was free, and I dashed into the garden, through the plantation, towards my “nest.” But I was disappointed. I had all my meals by myself that day, except tea, which I had up-stairs with Haidee, for Sarah said Mrs. Rayner was too unwel to leave her room. When We had finished tea, I still sat up-stairs by my pupil’s bedside, and my high spirits at the thought of IAurence's ex ected visit infected her. and she laughed chattel-ed to me in a. fashion very un- usual with hcr. At last I heard the front- door bell ring, and my heart seemed to stand still with joyful anticipation, But no one came up-staira to fetch me, and, after a few minutes breathless waiting, I ran down-stairs, unable to bear ths suspense any longer. I met Sarah in the hall. _-_ In]! ,1,1 I ‘Pfif-ho‘ 'v-vas tfiét, Sarah ?” asked I, too much excited to think of a decent sub- terfuge. Strange that Grcgson's boy should come to the from: door, thought I. I could not go lip-stairs again. It was half-past six ; and at half-past seven I was to be at my “nest.” if Laurence had not come before. I thought that hour would never ‘enc‘l. It BU Uull, Wllt’u Ufilull Ufllflw In. “If you please, miss, would you mind helping me with the store-list? Mrs. Ray- ner is too ill to do it, and it has to be posted to'morrow morning.’ “ Oh, Sarah, won’t it do inâ€"ln half an hour 7" said I breathleasly. “ Mrs. Rayner will want me then, miss. It won’t take yen more than five minutes.” How' the time had frown Between my leaving the schoolroom with Sarah and my going into the garden I I set down by the table as soon as Sarah had left the schoolroom, and rested my head in my hands. I did not want to cry. though a few tears trickled down between my fingers at the thought that I should not see Lmurence again before he went away ; but I wanted to put the events of the even- ing together and find out what they meant. There was only one conclusion to come to ; Snub had deliberately prevented my meet- ing him. The ring I had heard had been Liurmce’s ; and, after sending him {may by means of a. falsehood, she had had another ready for me when I asked who it was. "Gregson‘s boy 1" I had thought it strange at the time that the carpenter’s son (should come to the front door, and now I felt sure that he had not been there at all. I looked again at Lnurenoe'a note. He had called at the house at seven, he said. Now I distinctly remember that, after I had heard the bell ring and met Sarah, Icame into the schoolroom and found by the clock that it was half-past six. I had sat there until twenty minutes past seven, and dur- ing that time there had been no other ring at the hall door. And I had noticed how dark it was getting; then. just as I was opening the window to 0 out, Sarah had come in and asked me to elp her with the store-list, and I had been free ina. very short time ; yet on my arrival at my “nest,” the chyu'ch clock had struck eight. "7.6515, cm of Gregson'a boys asking for Mr. Rayner, miss." I had found her just now turning from the mantelpiece, end I could not doubt that, her object being gained, she had been put- ting the clock right again. This malicious persecution frightened me. Was I safe in the same house With a women who would take so much trouble merely to prevent my having a last interview with my lover ? There had been a. matter-of-fect deliber- ateness in the way she had answered me about the bell and asked me to do the list which had the effect of alarming me still more than the savage manner in which she used to look at and speak to me when she was jealous of some new proof of the con- sideration with which I was treated at the Alders. This was Wednesday, and Mr. Rayner would probably not _be back before Sarah must have put tbe'achoolroom clock back. CHAPTER XXI I only ie_1t upterly _sor Saturday. What new proof of animosicy would she manage to give me in these three days? That she would not let this oppor- tunity of showing her rooted dislike to me go by I. felt sure. I remembered how ear- nestly she had begged to stay. and wonder- ed whether the wish for a chance of playing me some unkind trick had had anything to do with it ; for Sarah was not likely to have forgiven me for having been the cause of her threatened dismissal. It was of no use to speculate upon what she might do, if she grew too intolerable, I could telegraph to Mr. Rayner, and he would find some means of bringing her to reason. 1 turned to Lsurence’a note to divert my thoughts from her, And wendered why, in those few hurried lines to me, he had thought it worth while to mention that he saw two men in a. cart outside the stable gate when he left me on the previous night. What meaning could the incident have to him? It had one to me. certainly: but then it was because I had seen Torn Parkes bring in the little portmanteau, and then return across the lawn with Sarah. The mention of this cart revived my curiosity re- garding the past night’s adventure. I could make nothing of it myself ; but I thought I would write to Laurence and tell him what I had seen ; and, if he knew anything more. my information might lead him to an ex- planation of the whole occurrence. I was still staring at the note when Sarah came in again, this time to bring me my candle, an office she seldom undertook. I saw a. look of diappointment and alarm come over her face as her quick eyes fell on my note, and when I got up-stairs I took the precau- tion to learn the address I was to write to by heart before enclosing this farewell note with Laurence‘s first, which I still wore argmd my neck. The next morning I received a letter from Mr. Rayner. He had been to the Guiety Theatre on the very night of his arrival in town, and sent me a. crumpled programme of the performance, With some comments which dld not interest me very much, as I had not seen any of the actors and actresses he mentioned, having been only once to the theatre in my life. I laughed to myself at Lsurence's fancy that he had seen Mr. Ray- ner in the dress of a navvy at the station that night. The letter, which had been written at four o'clock on Wednesday, said further that he was going that evening to the Criterion Theatre, where he hoped to be better entertained. He said he had written to Mrs. Rayner, and sent his love to Haidee by her, but that he enclosed a. second por- tion to me to give her, as she was not well. Then he gave meameseage to deliver which I would much rather not have been intruat- ed with, and at breakfast I said to Sarahâ€" “Mr. Rayner has sent a message to you in a. letter I have just received ttom him. He says: ‘Tell Sarah not to forget the work sheA has to do in my absence.’ ” As I looked up Effier reading this out to her, I saw that her face had turned quite livid ; the old hatred of me gleamed in her e} es. and I wished Mr. Rayner had written to her himself, instead of making me deliver ameaaage which appeared so distasteful to her. She said, “Very well, miss ;" and I won- ckred what work it was. I spent most of the day by Heidee’s bed< side. I did not see Mrs. Rayner. for she ap- peared neither at breakfast not at dinner, and to my inquiries Sarah gave the same answer as beforeâ€"that she was not well enough to leave her room_ She could not even see any one either, Sarah said, when I asked if I might read to her : and I was obliged to see my hopes of gaining her nym- pathy fade away, and to recognise the fact that either she would not or Sarah would not allow me a chance of breaking down the barrier of reserve between us. I c0uld let her see that I had not forgotten her, though; and,aeized by anappy thought. I went in search of an old knife and a. basket and went into the garden to gather some flowers. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon; the leaves and grass were still wet, for it had been raining hard all the morning. and the mist was rising already from the marsh. There were scarcely any flowers left now, but by wandering into remote nooks of the garden. and by stepping in among the plants and spying our every bloesom hidden under the leaves, I managed at last to collect enough for a. very fair October bonquet. I took them into the house, and it auddenly occurred to me that they would make a. bet‘ ter display in alarge wire-covered vase that stood on a. whatnot in the drawing-room. So I ran in there, with my frock still tucked up, the garden-knife in one dirty hand and my basket of flowers on my arm. I had my hand still on the handle of the door, when I saw there was a. gentleman. standing at the window, looking outiuto the garden. I slip- ped back hastily, ho ing to escape before he could catch sight 0 me ; but he turned, crowed the room quickly, and stopped me. “Miss Christie E" It was Mr. Carruchers. “They told me you were out.” Sarah‘s Work. thought I. “No ; I was only in the garden." There was no help for my appearancq now, so I quietly took the pin out of my frock and let it: down while he went on talking. "1 am very. very glad to see you. You are looking very well. I am afraid,” said he, still holding my hand, “you have not been missing any of us iiipch.” “ ‘The people there !' As if I ca'red how little you missed ‘the people there 1’ When I my you had not been missing any of us, I mean you have not been mlssing me.” “Well, yho'u age I had known the people thereAqnly twq days,” stand I_se1"§o_usly. _ _ A shark was captured at Tabogo re- cently by Senor Valerio Lopez which measured 10 metres 40 centimetres in length.

Some little commotion was occasioced several months ago regarding the experience of a. gentleman well known in this city, and at the time the matter was a subject of gen- eral conversation. In order to ascertain all the facts bearing upon the matter, a. rep- resentative of this paper was dispatched yesterday to interview the gentlemen in question with the following _result ‘: Captain W. H. Nicholls, formerly in Her Majesty's service, is a man well advanced in years, who has evidently seen much of the world. Endowed by nature with a strong constitution. he was enabled to en :lure hard- ships under which many men would have suc- cumbed. Through all privation and expo- sure be preserved his constitutionunimpaired. A number of years ago. however, he began to feel a strange undermining of his lite. He noticed that he had less energy than for- merly, that his appetite was uncertain and changing, that he was unaccountany weary at certain times and correspondingly ener- getic at others ; that his head pained him, first in front and then at the base of the brain, and that his heart was unusually irregular in its action. All these troubles he attributed to some passing disorder and gave them little attention, but they seemed to increase in violence continually. To the writer he said : “I never for a. moment thought these things amounted to anything serious and I gave them little, it any, thought: but I felt myself growing weaker all the while and could in no may account for it.” “ Did you {aka no steps to check these symfltoms 7?”_ ' “Very little, if any. I thought they were only temporary in their nature and would soon pass away. But they did not pass away and kept increasing. Finally, one day. after more than ayear had passed, I noticed that my feet and ankles w: re begin- ning to swell and that my face under the eyes appeared pufly. This indication in- creased until my body began to fill with water, and finally swelled to enormous propor- tions. 1 was addicted with acute rheumatic pains and was fearful at times that it would attack my heart. I consulted one of our most prominent physicians and he gave me no hope of ever recovering. He said that I might live several months, but my condition was such that neither myself nor any of my family had the slightest hope of my recovery. In this condition a number of months passed by, during which time I had to sit constant- y in an easy chair, not being able to lie down, lest I should choke to death. The slight pains I had at first experienced in- creased to the moat terrible agonies. My thirst was intense and a good portion of the time I was wholly unconscious. When I did recover my senses I suffered so severely that my cries could be heard for nearly a mile. No one can have any idea of the agony I endured. I was unable to eat or even swallow fluids. My strength entirely deserted me and I was so exhausted that I prayed day and night for death. The doc- tors could not relieve me and 1 was left in a. condition to die and that, too of Bright’s disease of the kidneys in its most terrible form. I think I should have died had I not learned of ageutleman who had sufiered very much as I had, and I resolved to pursue the same course of treatment which entirely cured him. I accordingly began and at once I felt a change for the better going on in my system. In the course of a week the swell- ing had gone from my abdomen and dimin- ished all over my body and I felt like another man. I con tinned the treatment and am happy to say that I was entirely cured through the wonderful, almost miraculous power of W'arner's Safe Cure, which I con- sider the most valuable discovery of modern times.” “And you feel apparently well now? " “Yes. indeed. I am in good health, eat heartily, and both the doctors and my friends are greatly surprised and gratified at my remarkable restoration, after I was vir- tually in the grave. My daughter, who has been teraibly troubled with a pain in her back caused by kidney trouble has also been cured by means of this same great remedy and my family and myself have constituted ourselves a kind of missionary societ for supplying the poor of our neighbor ood with the remedy which has been so invalu- able to us." As the writer was returning home he re- flccCed upon the statements of the noble old man with whom he had conversed, and was impressed not only with the truth of his assertions, but also with the sincerity of all his acts. And he could not but wish that the thousands who are sufiering with minor troubles which become so serious unless taken in time might know of Captain Ni- choll's experience and the manner in which he was saved.
