When deeply in loro with Mies Emily Pyno,
, I would always oudaavor to please her;.
Sho Mushed her consent though the stut?
tering loss
Said never, a wordoxeept "you are an asa
Au.ais-^an arduous teaser!!'
"\ But'wben wo were married^ Ifouu'd to my
ruth,
v Tho stamojonng lady had spoken the
. - truth,

She'd say, ir X ventured io give her a jog,
. In the way er reproof-'.You're a dogr-*
A dog-T-matlc cur-mudgeohl"
: And once when I said, "Wo can hardly
afford
This extravagant style with'our moderate
hoard,"
. And hinted wo ought *o bo wiser,
i J She looked, I assure you, exceedingly bino,
" And fretfully, cried, "You're a Jew-you're
a Jew
A ybry ju-dicions adviser!"
Again^when it happened that wishing tp
Some rather unpleasant and arduous work,
I begged her Vb go to a neighbor;
She wanted to know why I made such a
lusa,
And saucily said, "Yon'ro a CUB-oua?
tas-,
You were always accus- tomed to labor!"
Ont of temper at last with the insolent
dame,
And feeling that madam waa greatly to
blame,
To scold mo instead of caressing;
I mimicked her epeeoh, like a churl that I
am.
And angrily said, "You're a dam-dam?
dam
- A dam-agc instead of ablessing!"
TUE DOCTOR'S STORY?
"And now we'll have ? cozy, com?
fortable evening together," said my
. wife. "And-but what's that, Irv?
ing?"
My wife, started nervously, as s
sharp .peal at the bell interrupted
our brief interval of domestic quiet.
"Only'the surgery bell, my dear.
Somebody wanting mo, I suppose."
And I went down stairs,-secretly
wondering to myself if, after all, thor c
was such a very wide difference be
tween a galley-Hlave and a country
doctor.
Tho surgery door was wide open,
but nobody was there, and. thronet
the blinding darkness without I conic
, y -\ d'"cern the: dark outline of a close
carriage, and a man standing at thc
horse's head.
"Who's there? what's wanting?'
I asked, ooming to the threshold
and instinctively buttoning up thc
over-coat I had hurriedly thrown on.
"You're -wanted, doctor, " said thc
man, speaking indistinctly bobine
. tho muffling that surrounded his face
"Yes; but what for? Who want.
. me?"
"lam not at liberty to telL"
I had already entered the carriage
but this suspicious answer inspir?e
mo with distrust. I made ? step t
descend, but I was too late; th
vehicle was already in motion.1
"It ia quite unnecessary for you i
alarm yourself, doctor," said a quiet
measured voice at my side. "Bk
heve me, you are quite safe; and
trust yon will not feel any uneasiness
when I tell yon that you must fa
blindfolded."
And at the same moment, a folde
bandage was deftly slipped over m
eyes. *
."Hold!" I ejaculated. "It strike
mo that this is rather snperfluoui
- The night is dark os Erebus, and yo
have no lamp."
"Possibly, " returned the dry voie
' 'but it is best to run no risks. "
And then ensued a silence of son
ten or fifteen minutes, while the ca
riage rolled swiftly along, and tl
low, measured breathing of my ni
known companion kept time to n
uncomfortable thoughts.
At length my companion spol
again, in the same soft, modul?t*
tones. .
"Doctor, one more little preca
tion is necessary-your promise nev
to divulge to haman sonl one wo
of this night's visit."
I hesitated.
"I cannot bind myself by any su<
covenant. The relations betwc

confidential; but --."
The carriage paused abruptly hoi
and the door was swung open,
the same instant something co
touched my temples. It was t
muzzle of a pistol.
I recoiled in horror.
"You surely would not murd
me?"
"Your promise, doctor !"
"1 pi'omise!" I gasped, recoili:
once more from tho chdling touch
the cold steel at my temples.
.?Very woll. Come!"
I Was led up a narrow wal
through a doorway, into a rooi

denly from my eyes.
The spot wis very familiar to me
a ruinous cottage. lon? -sinoA i*b*n
aonoUto decay, to the heart ..ol A
dense, swampy wood; How the car?
riage hod ever roaehed it, I was at a
loss,to know. Upon a pile of straw,
hurriedly thrown toto a corner of the
mouldering floor, lay a prostrate
figuro, moaning at o ve ry breath. His
faoo waa concealed with a handker?
chief, and tile blood was slowly drip?
ping from a gun-shot wound tost
above tho ankle-a wound which had
been clumsily dressed by some un?
skillful hand. Moreover, there was
a dark rod stain on the straw where
his head lay, and the light brown
hair was matted, with coagulated
j drops. Two or three men stood
around, with rude masks of .black
cloth drawn over their faces, in which
: three slits were cut for the eyes and
mouth; and a female figure knoeled
belli. 4 a heap of straw, veiled close?
ly.
i The men silently made way for me
as I advanced into the apartment,
and held their lanterns so that the
lurid light shonld fall upou my
strange patient, as silently I stooped
and examined both wounds.
"Well?" asked my carriage com?
panion.
"I can do nothing. The man must
die."
"Nonsense! A mere bullet through
the leg-what does that amount to?"
"In itself, nothing; but that blow
upon the skull must prove fatal "
A low, half suppressed cry broke
from the woman opposite. She tore
the voil from her face, os if she could
not breathe through its heavy folds,
revealing features as white and beau?
tiful in their marble agony as BO
much sculptured stone. She did not
seem more than thirty, but I after?
wards knew that she was indeed ten
years older. But, in spite of hot
anguish, how grandly beautiful she
I was. Large dark eyes-hair like
! coiled gold, catching strange gleams
from tho shifting lanterns-and
i broad, smooth brow-it was a face
I you see but once in a whole lifetime.
And, yet, to the midst of her dis
tress, she never spoke.
"At least, yon can do something
for him, doctor?" said my interlocu
tor, impatiently. "Don't let us wast*
time here."
As I proceeded in my ministra
lions, the moaning grew fainter, tin
convulsive movements became scarce
ly perceptible. A faint gleam of hop
lighted np the face of the Woman
wno knelt with clasped hands oppo
site; Bhe looked appealingly at me.
"He is better-ne is surely better?'
"He will be better soon," I answer
ed, moved to pity to spite of myself
' 'He cannot Uve half an hour longer.1
The horror of that sepulchral si
lenee that fell upon us as my accent
died away-shall I ever, forget it
And five minutes afterwards th
breathing, spasmodic and painful t
bear, died into eternal stillness.
The young woman lifted the come
of the handkerchief, and gazed int
the ghastly face. It wa ? that of
young man about twenty-two, an
who had evidently been marvelous!
good-looking.
"Oh ! heavens, he is dead 1* '
Her clear, agonized voice was rinj
in g in my ears as they led be bac
into the darkness of the night,
felt a bank-note pressed into m
hand as I entered the carriage ont

The next moment I was whirhi
swiftly through tho November rai
night, with the strange, unquiet fee
ing of one awakened suddenly fro
a startling dream.' Yet it was i

The carriage stopped at a crot
road near the village.

I mechanically mouuted the nol

tho singular adventure that bad be?
fallen me during the evening. ; < \
Hcddcrilcigh ?toud u v.*w<? ~u?ok
from th*> -road, on a . magnificent
?knoll crowned with eentnryroldohest
nut trees and beeches; and I reached
tho broad atoue stops in about habt
an'hour, by dint of rapid strides. \
As I entered the vestibule, Colonel
Haddon, who had been pacing np
and down thc hall iu a perfect agony
of impatience, came to meet me. .
"Isthatyon, Dr. Mellor? I thought
you would never como. "We're in a
pretty state of confusion here. Bur?
glars in the house-my wife's set of
diamonds goner-nobody knows what
else-but bid Hopkins left his manual
upon one of them. They can't escape
!,far. For yo? see---"
"Yes, but, Colonel Hadden-B?
"Oh, aye-I nnderstand you-you
want to see yonr patient? It's Hop?
kins, the butler; he got an ugly blow
on the left arm-and afterwords my
wife went herself to Dr. Maynard- |
no offence, Moller, but he lives nearer j
than you-but he was out. She has
inst returned. I couldn't very well !
eave Hopkins-and Mrs. Haddon is j
such a kind good soul, she insisted
on going herself to fetch Maynard
"But, my dear sir.-"
"Ah, truel Come along to Hop?
kins' room."
Hopkins, the butler, was as volu?
ble as his master, and ten times as
circumstantial;'and by the time I
had set his broken fore-arm, I was
pretty well in possession of all the
particnluars of the attempted bur?
glary at Haddenloigh.
And, thinking of my midnight
patient, whoso life had ebbed out
upon the pile of straw, I felt a strange
guiltiness as I listened to Colonel
Hadden's eager conjectur?s as to the
whereabouts of tho desperadoes who
had fled.
"And now, Doctor, you'll take a
gloss of wine," said the hospitable
old gentleman, ushering me into his
library.
It was brilliantly lighted, and warm
with the crimson glow of a genial I
fire, before which, in a singularly
graceful attitude, sat a lady, wrappe ~
UL the gorgeous folds of an Indian
shawl.
"My wife, Doctor. Isabel, my
love, thia is Dr. Meiler. "
We stood before one another in
silence. I could not speak, for IJ
knew that I was looking into the
startled, agonized eyes of the woman
who had knelt scarcely an honr ago
by tho dying couch in the desolate
cottage-Col. Hadden's new wife, of |
whoso beauty I bad heard so much.
The Colonel talked on, but I heard
not a word that he said. I could not
bnt marvel at the wonderful self-pos?
session of the woman, who smiled
and looked grave, and eaid "Yea"
and "No" in the right places.
