The doctor looked thoughtful.; Had not something like a sigh escap? ed hex Ba abe said that no letter' had . comet Did she then long so very v much to have tidings of her cousin ? Ho turned the letters over and over, poising them in his hand. J- )1 see they are addressed to you, MDlji" hs ?mu. There waa further inquiry in the expression of his face. "Would you like to read them ?" she asked, Simply. "Hark writes very amusing letters; Ho gives such . a capital account of his life at Hong ? Kong, I think it would amuse yoa to rend them." "No, thank you, Milly." And he ?reseed her hand tenderly, as he gave er book the letters. For a few mo? ments he had doubted her; but he dismissed his doubts. Still he could not repress a feeling of jealousy in regard to this cousin of Milly's-this Mark Lian ce. It was a comfort to reflect, however, that Hong Kong was a very long way off. In the coarse of a few days, there was another visitor calling in Cal? thorpe street. Mark Lance hod ar? rived from Hong Kong. He had] written no letter, it appeared, be? cause he was coming in person. Dr. Dendy, attending his patient I with customary punctuality, found | the yoong man in the drawing-room, and recognized him at once. Only, tiie doctor was not especially pleased I to discover the photograph, hardly | did Mr. Mark Lance justice. He was, in truth, for handsomer than he ap? peared in his carie de visite-a tall, broad, muscular gentleman, with a sun-burnt skin, bricht, unflinching | blue eyes, and a very white and per? fect set of teeth* Milly seemed nervous and ill at ease, avoided ber cousin's gaze, an? swered him monosyUabicaUy. He had brought with him all sorts of presents for her-shawls, scarfo, fans, feathers, paintings, oriental curiosi? ties, and valuable knick-knackery, j She hardly looked at these treasures, however; could with difficulty return her cousin common words of thanks? giving. She was at pains to avoid conversing with him-sought excuses for quitting him. He surveyed her with surprised eyes. "Was this Milly ?" he asked himself. And he felt wronged and hurt. Dr. Dendy cast searching glances at the cousins. "I must leave now," said Mark, abruptly, "I have business at the ship agent's in the city." / "I suppose we shall see you again soon ?" Milly asked, in faint tones, looking away from him as she spoke. "I suppose so," he answered, care? lessly. "I am going your way into the city-to the Ostrich Insurance Office, in Cornhill," said Dr. Dendy to the 2oung man. "Let me give you a ft in my brougham; you'll find I go ' faster than most cabs. '" . They went away together. "I'm a madman and a fool, that's what I am !" said Mark Lance, im? petuously, as he sat in the doctor's carriage. "How so ?" "I can't, of course, expeot you to anderstand or sympathize with a lover's miserable imbecilities," the young man went on. "You have never loved os I have. You don't know what love is, and I know it." "Perhaps not-perhaps not," the doctor said, with perfect composure. "I must speak out," cried Mark. "I mast tell some one-any one what I suffer, or I shall go mad! Do you know why I came home so sud? denly? Because I loved that girl; because I was sick and dying for love of her; because I couldn't bear to live longer away from her; because it seemed to me that at all costs I must .set eyes on her again; speak to her *of my love for her, whole and true, and tender as it is, and entreat her to give mo some portion of her love in return. I have been mastered by my love; it has possessed mo-it pos? sesses me now, absolutely. To what end? What good has come of it all? ifou ?co how she treated mo. She shrinks from, loathes, despises me. / have como home for that!" "You have loved her long?" "I have loved her all my life. As a child aud a schoolboy I loved her years, y naru turn. lj&9?? tc !csg, while, wc were playing together, that eorno wild beast might spring ont upon her, MO that I might destroy it, und ?wive her or perish for hor.

Any mischief Unit ?ho did I took the blaine of, over. / have boon horse whipped for her many a time. What did I care for the pain, so long as Milly cerno afterward to comfort mo and dry my lean*? What suffering would not yield to a kiss from ber, a . . ? . : '-"MW^' smile o7al??udly word? Buk I am a fo?l t? oomplain-I gavo her my heart for a plaything. She has, put it from her now with tile rest of; per play things, mined and.brr?ken-r-qiite dono with. I had no right to expect that she would do otherwise. " ?*Sheknewof your love?" ?.How could she Hot know of it? Yet I was wrong, perhaps, not to speak out I ought to have put it plainly before her. No, she doe? not know of my love. I have never dared to speak openly to her concern? ing it. I waa too poor when I came home before;-or, rather, I wanted to be richer, and BO in some sort worthy of her. I thought she {oared for me then, a little; but that is all over now. Her love for me, if she ever felt any, has quite died out of her heart now. It is hard, very hard to bear. I have toiled only for her; I am rich now. Even her father, my uncle-he is an exacting gentleman eno?gh-but even he would own that I am now rich enough to think of marrying even his daughter. And now it seems it is too late. What hayo I got by my . toils, my long waiting, my for? bearance? Nothing. A great gulf has opened between Milly and me; I know not how or why. I havo lost all hope of her. I am tho most mise? rable fellow on this earth." And Mark Lance covered his face with his hands. .'I am, I know, a fool, a weak fool, to talk like this," he said, presently, recovering himself. "What must you think of me? What are my sorrows to you? What can you caro for a lover's troubles, and longings and despair? What is my heart to you? What can you know or care about it? Nothing, of course-nothing." "Nothing, of course not!" the doc? tor echoed, mechanically. "No, I know nothing of the human heart." From tho city. Dr. Dendy, having parted with Mark Lance, returned to Calthorpe street. As he entered the drawing-room, with tho cautious and noiseless tread of a man well-used to Bick chambers and acutely sensitive patients, he heard a faint moaning sound. Milly Lance, with tearful eyes, was reading over once again her cousin's letters-was contemplating once more the photograph contained in the ivory card-case. She started with a half scream, as she found the doctor at her side. "Forgive me!" she cried, in an agonized voice. "I-I am going to burn them." And then, hardly know? ing what she did, she seemed to be trying to fall on her knees at the doctor's feet. He raised her up with tenderness. "Calm yourself, Milly," he said. She made an effort to throw the letters into the fire-place, but her courage failed her, and she burst into a passionate flood of tears. "Have mercy," she moaned, "Oh, have mercy 1" "You aro ill, Milly," he said, very gently. "Don't be afraid of me, my ear. I wouldn't wrong you or pain you for tho world. Calm yourself; dry your eyes. Come, that's better. But whatapul.se! Give me a sheet of note paper. I must write you a prescription at once. Mind, you must obey my instructions to thc letter." He wrote a few lines. "Read that, Milly," he said. She glanced at the paper, expecting to find the usual unintelligible medi? cal hieroglyphics. She started. Tc her amusement, she found she could understand the prescription-it was written in English, being the firs! and last prescription which Dr. Dendy, in tho whole course of Lit professional career, had written oui of the Latin tongue. It ran something in this wisc: "R.-Take Cousin Mark to chu rel with you as soon as possible, mu make him your husband. God bles: you. (Signed,) "JOHN DENDY, M. D." How her heart beat! "But-does ho love me?" "You know he does. And yoi love him. Tell mo when he comei this evening. You needn't speak only let him read it in your eyes." "And my father?" "He shall give his consent. I'l take care of that. " With a cry of joy, she throw hc^ self into his arms. She could no speak her thanks; but this action o hers was sufficiently, explicit. H kissed her on the forehead. She pu up her lips to him; but ho didn't, a wouldn't, or couldn't see what sh meant. He went away singing, very gruv in aspect, and yet lightened nu comforted by tho thought that ho ha acted rightly. "Perhaps I shall bo able to finis that hook of mine now," he sait' gravely. "It's time it was done. On thing-I know moro about it than did. It's but a poor, weak, troubh Scsid organ, ufteraii, the heart; an its Qche is very hard to bear. I don belicvo there's any certain cure for ; in tho whole rango of tho plmrmi conjoin." Poor Dr. Dendy looked very mist rabie. "This won't do," he sait pi vently. "I must proscribf fe myself. Haid work; tnat's my bei medicine. It cures a good man complaints. At any rate, it proven tito patient having timo to thin about them." Wolfe's Heh t?xla ia 8c h na pp? aro use di over the world by the physicians in thc practice, Administrator's Kotice.
