THE RUSSIN DOCTOR. Entertaining and Romantic Story from Real Life. [AmAPTD FROM n E GERA o Mu Eu:S PoEKE.1 BY MRS. FRANCES A. SIIAW. CHPTERl L. HE modest dwell. ing of the 1)hs . - - eClan whio, sinc 1i - * r. r i n IK a n, - had goec by tht .iname of "the Rus e. press and wi, grape sines tha one could scarce have found the door knob but for its ibrightnuess fromn con stant scouring,. A lar.-e, old-fa:-h ioned gre.in whichl both flower and weeds were allowed to grow :i their own sweet will. smthed far be hind the house, and ended in a foresi of beeches, a path through which led to a dilapidated rustic temple on the brow of a hill. This temple. which oc cupied an open sp'ae,. was Banked by n weather-beaten stone talle, surrounded~ by wooden benches. and had. evident. ly, been reared by soni hover of nat me. But the death or ahsenc-e of it. owner had allowed the place to fall into decay, and no one in the littlc town had cared to expend time ox money for its restoration. Dr. Arnim Elbthal had won great re nown and an extended practice in that distant Russian city. Wonderful stories were told of his skill. which had. in deed, been phenomenal. These stories the Rr.sian servant. Ivan. whom I had broaght home with him, endeav ored to .onfirim in his broken German, resoritg to expressive pantomime wher words failed him. According to Ivan, his master had cut off innumerabl noses and ears, to say nothing of arn and legs. and no one had ever felt pair under his knife. Incredible things ir glass jars adorned his sleeping-chai ber. These Ivan dusted every inorning with reverential awe and not withoui a secret longing for the spirits in whi: they were preserved. The doctor some times wondered that the spirits ix these jars had so often to be renewed, and that his store of Turkish tobacec disappeared in such incredible ways As none of the other servants smoked, and the housekeeper detested the "filthy weed," Ivan must have beer the sole transgressor. In spite ol cheeks often distended. and an odor ol excellent tobacco lie carried about witl] him, he denied this per-istexntly. and the doctor contented himself with at occasional scolding. Unable to spea Russian, although he both read am1 wrote. the language, he had beet: obliged to make out a list of reproving words from the dictionary. This lis:, which began with "rebel" and ended with "dog," lie would read from his easy-ehair with great solemnity: th delinquent standing beforc himi ani listening with an air of utter annihila tion, until, at the last word, lie would kiss the seam of his master's coat, and slip like a guilty thing over the thresh old. ' Fraulein Marianne. the doctor3 cousin and housekeeper, had often in sisted on the dismissal of this ".sav age;" but Ivan was to tile dloetor a liv ing reminiscenee of a strange, actim life on a. foreign soil, Hie had thought to remain in Kasan to the end, but the inheritance of a small fortunt through the death of a distant relativt he had searce known awakened in hin: a sudden homesickness for Germany, and for the secluded little town afai from railways, where his cradle had stood, and which in an age of restless activity still dreamed on as it hxad dreamed on for hundreds of years. Blaving purchased this vine-wreathed house which, during all those years in foreign land, had stood before hin: a sort of enchanted vision, he sum moned his orphaned cousin Marianne, a model housewife, as his minister o: the interior. Marianne indel -'d sihetc mentally that her cousin had choser for a home his native town rather that some great capital, with its constan1 suecessicn of new faces and amuse ments. But yet the idea of reigning sole mistress of a household appeared so beautiful and enticing that sh< would have followed the doctor to th< enmds of the earth. She hiad alwayv Iiked~ him; she felt great respect fox him; his only fault in her eves was ar open aversi to mxarriage.i A phiysiciar who remained single was, to say th< least, unwise. Arnim would ward of her frequent reproaches on this score by declaring that the unmntirriec physician, like the Catholic priest, is much more eflicient than the mnarriet one, being wholly devoted to his call ing without the distraction of outsid< interests. -Only those undeterred by though1 of wife <or family sacrifice themselve cheerfully, if it conies to that," lie said VMy patients cani attest that I ami no destitute of a heart. Ihitherto I hart had 1ao time for love to the individual now it -i too late. Why need I marra when hand2s like yours keep-; myi hiousi in order anti ,van serves mec so faith fuill? Why Artk to realize personalh) those tornints wic:h the p~oets tells u: are inseparable fromn l'Ve, whzen I have seen and still see so uc of pain an< sorrow in th.e lives of <uxeru" In that foreign landl our h usim doctor had won the name of 'fath-r' by ardent devotion to his calling. Thi ailments of children had been his es 'gecial care. In that somber univeisit. etr, there- was -caree a boy or girl o: the pocrer classes who did not knov' him, did ,not run after him as he passet along tihe ytre-ts and press its dirt: nose to the apei of his coat. Manyn beautiful pan- of womnan's eyes almso fol lowed the- ma--nly tigure with th thoughtfuL. nowl fac.- Many- a ros; mnouthi -miledl upohim, ;uix nany a fasci nating lad' teacer ofiered to asist hiiu in masterinig that extremely ditlia foreign idiom. But all these entice mnents were lost upon the doctor; h 1nr1 no time for them. And, besides. there was one livin reuir:,ne- that.like a pastel picture undimwd by timne, rose constantly befort him. Waking and drealifn the'r was ever present to him the fac of a voung girl wholly unlike these dark--eed foreign beauties-a pale. al 11101t childish face with piquant nose, lustrous blue eves. light-brown haic-a delicate. pdite tigure with charming hand and fe.t. and. a joyous, musical This fair matiden who had thus capt ured the faner. of a some'.what grave. book% -:1 udent, was the onlV child (" a Froench emai.'ralt. a -widlower. who lived Iulhy jiatfed in the vine wreahd ho ,intrusting theit educa tion of his daug.tIhter to all ely Frelich governess.

This blonde child was quite unlike other young girls of the little town the sister; of his school-fellows. Sihe did not at all resemble the burgonas ter's daughter. who was considered a model of good breeding and fine man ners. To Arnim she seemed coarse be side this stranger, who had about her somet hing of the libellula. solethilg of the airy grace of that shimmering winged creature. destined to flit about for one brief summer's day, and then die. The foreign maiden sometimes ap peared oil the 1rolelladte-a somber walk shaded by lindens, which str rounde the little town-but never without her govertess, a severe-look ing. fautastically-dressed and elderly Frenchwoman. Now and thenii she %vould hangupon the arni of her father, 'aud - would be chatting nerrily. P3at 1, seldom happened, as the Mar is r-led back and forth a grea deal, pas5'ag but little time at home. On pna spring day:. whenl thle first yflowers were in bloom and I *d-songs enlivened the forest. as Ar. nim p:LS-ed along the wonted patth. a great leather ball tlew over the gat and hit him in the right eye. A snuden .cry of pain escaped him. Ilis book fell to th- arouid, an1d, mAloentarilV blind ed. h,- -grasped after the nleare4 tree. The key turneil ha-tiilv. the :Lnte creaked onl its hinges. and an excited figure in white appeared before him. Soft little hands sougit with genitle force to withdraw his own1 hand from his5 eves. anfd a sweet voiice spoke con soling words in Frecch-thlen to Arnim an almost unknowna tongue. 2 } THIEIRI FIRST ACQUAINTANCE. He set his teeth-this young girl must nlot know 1how he suffered. And yet he was helpless, for he could nlot open his eyes. Angry at this help lessness. he thrust back theC little hands now glov-eh-ss, and tturned away. But they woul~d not be shlaken off. Once more ther were extended, and the voice took on ~a pleading accent. Little as he knew of French, Arnim was aware that thle girl was begging his forgive ness, and wanted to take him to the fountain in tihe midst of the garden. His Icet still resisted, but his hlead and heart were already on tile way, along which he at length suff'ered hlimself to be led. Soon nec telt over his inflamed eye a moist perfutmed hanL~dkerchie-f. The pain abated. the well eye slovwly opened and gazted into thle lovely face that, flushed with mingled arehness and anxiety, bent towaurd him.

Tin' nAxt day Arnim hadl nutnany I, I4u1 tre 4yr at th e gvnl1.:1 ;nim, hi,: memory was no t. ais us':d~ :: coml mal. At the appointed time h!I foun1d iiltself on the f11ml11r path. As he p:-ed the Ilattice(d gnte his heart beat violntly. Froin beneath the low drawni vision of his cap1 lie gazed stealthi1y into the got.rdern. Suddenly he discernedi a white hiimmeir. Tie io)veles h:md of ltortense waved hin 'agre't ing through the lattice-work of the :.(ate. "0. sir. you came at lasi," she said. in Frcuvh. "How is it with vot?" As :a polite youngnman, he was obliged to stet) forward. to take oTr his cal), show t'he eve which micantile had as simled all possible colon, and s::y as suingly the words he hud a thou-and tiies rehearsed: "Jc mc parte ausa bien, ozdemoisellc." Then taking the handkerchief with the coronet from its paper wrappings,. with a "thatik you verv ilch,'" he handed it. to its owner. Whero was the other? Hlortense did not ask, but still chatting and laugh ing mvrrily, she opened tie gate and cale to him. Arnim listened in silence as the rippling rivulet of her speech flowed gayly on, while the rosebud mouth was wreathed in smiles and the eevs glowed like sunbeams. "0, howIlove the forest!" she cried, in ecsta-v. The trees murmured softly above those two young heads. and with happy hearts they paced slowly up and down the path. Young violets in charming profnsion nestled amid the grass. Arr$im would gladly have plucked a bunch of them for.his lovely companion. but he coumd recall only their Latin name, Viola odorata. and he forebore. He told her as well as he was able that he s:poke but very little French, and she repliied, laughing. that she knew no German. Then she asked him to give her Ger man A ssons, assuring him that her father would not oiject. She next in quiredI as to his name, his home,wheth er he Ithad parents and brothers and sis ters. When he had atnswered sheC said, sadly: "I have no mothter, nto brothers or sisters." Then she begged htim not to be afraid of Mile. Fitine, her governess, assuring him that she was not so cross as she looked. "Is it she who always makes you wear ziove2?" he as5ked. "But I do love to take them off." she s:!id, suiting thte action to the word. "Here they are. Please keep them awhile for me."' lie lput the gloves in his breast pocket. "And yet I woutld not like to have brownt or red hands like so many of your German girls," site added. " Tht is so tugly-uglier even than gloves." So they walked up and down or stood side by side at thte gate, until Mile. Fifine's call separatedl them. This day, also, our student learned little from his books, although his eye wvas nt'ow well. In response to a courteous note from the Marquis, he ere long found himisel dulv installed as German teachter to Hor-tense. The Marquis also paid his parentts a visit, eharrming both with hisi elegattt manners and the prospect of an engagement for their soin, although the mother shtook her head omintcuslv and talked more thtatn ever of the dire eventts of the French camlpaign of 1812. The G;ermain lessons were ntot given in the tusutal formal manner. Teacher and pupil wandered out into thte gar den, aitd seated themselves comforta bly in the ar'bor or by the fountain. Sometimes when Mlle. Fifme was in~ good humior, she accompaniied them to tihe forest, to thte iteadow or to the temph-il on thte hilltop. Arnim soon rot over his fear of thte morose old French governess, who every day cursed the lot that forced her to remain far fr om a belle France in this sttupid Germany. She scorned the younlg German in no friendly way through her eye-glass, and honored him with but little of her conversationt. But she left the "two children'' to their fate, as shte sat a lit tie distance away absorbed in the ficti tious destiny of thte hero and hteroine of sonme romance. None questioned which learned most of the foreign language. Arnim or LHortense, butt both found the alloted hour tuch too short, and Arnim rec maied longer and longer. not leavin. until MIle. Filie, from thte depthts of her novel, gave the signal for depart ure. Thtey belonged to thte laughing spring and to the season of r~4o5, thrs~e two youthful creatutres. How tmustieal rose' :1ma fell HIortense's clear laugh :nidl this merry twitter of birdb!
