"Uncle, you are ill!" cried Desiree,
suddenly, and, bending over him, she
grasped his hand. "Youi look as if you
had had a bad night."
"I have not slept." ie answered, with
.a faint smile. --I have been kept

The doctoron his return at noon from
the consultation, looked grave and anx

"We hope that in town the disease
willbe confined to isolated cases." he
!said; "but in the outlying villages it has
-become epidemic. You will see but
little of me. I must do all I can. and
I would like my ieals at as early an
hour as possible."
All at once' D'*ree laid her hand
upon his arm, and guing intently into
his face, said, with triaimlous voice:

"*Aen the route to the ' g?

instrument shot through thle dloctor's
heart, but he answered. e::Uniy:
"Thbat is scarce imagzinab'l. Theli
picturesque region Ussi km V. requems
for sketching lies eastwardly from cre.
The epidemia rages in the villages to
the west. He may return this ev'emaig."
He did not come this night or the
day following. Arnim was sure thatt if
'any thing had happened sonme word
.would have been sent. 31ariainne did
~not suffer a moment's anxiety, but
Desiree iaudered restlessly about the
garden and terrace, gain often downI
the forest path for some glimpse of the
absent one.
"Comme le jour me dure
Passer loin do toi:''
echoed a constant refrain in her heart
though the lips were silent. It seemed
alreatly months since lie went away.
The doctor plunged into his practice
with feverish ardor. It came as a God
send to divert his thoughts. The viru
lent cases in thle town increased rapid
ly. For the first time the destroying
angel of pestilence had invaded this
:peaceful valley. The little hospital
soon overflowed. There was urgent
need of nurses. Solitary eases of self
sacrifice, displayed by contrast the
egotism of human ne: ar'e in its
appalling nakedness. The general
motto was "Let hinm save hinm
self who can!" ALt'oad, the doe
Itor's energies were taxed to the
utmost, his heart wrur by the spec.
tacle of human misery: at home he met
only anxious faces. M1arianne made no
concealment of her terror; Desiree
flitted around pale and silent but with
a look of str'ange foreboding in her
eyes. Ivan i'n his bewilderment broke
almost every dish he touched, and
turned things upside down. His grand
.preservative against disease wvas a
draught of whisky. Kathe, the cook.
believed every half hour that she had
an attack of the murderous fever, and
ran howling to her mistress. She
wanted the doctor constantly on hand,
and did not see why he could not pass
his whole timne in the vicinity of hexr
kitchen. Why should he run after
strangers and leave his own household
in the lurch? Arnim, at the incessant
entreaty of his cousin, had prescribed
drops as a preventive. She scarce al
lowed the vial out of her hand. Saeri
ficial clouds of smoke arose from every
room in the house but the doctor's
study. Here, at his express command,
the wild waves of Marianne's fumiga
tion fever were stayed.
"If it allays your fears, do what von
will," he said, "only let my study
alone."
It was remarkable how people of all
conditions seeking help besieged the

htad scarce time to think of Ilimiar's
absence. W~hen lie did recall it it was
with a sense of relief at his distance
from Desiree.
On the nmorning of the fourth day
since his guest's departure hec pro
posed sending a mnessen:ger for tidings.
"Our artist is no dloubt tilling his

At'in set ii- tecth. A wild inmatience
sur-ed through his breas(t. lie wouldi
fain have p) d this tender form to
his tortured heart with the diespairing
cry:
"Have i then lost your confidence?
Do you love this stranger better than
me? Will you leave the houw'ie tiat
once harbored your mother to go with
hin?"
But he saw that Marianne's eves
re-ted upon him with a questioningz
ci:Ce. and controlling his emotion. he
went silently.
A noon a iesseuger appeared say
in ':at the doctor would not return

Wtha v.hite face and throbbing heart.
A few iinutes later she stood before
Matriainn, who exclaimed:
-Good heavens. how yon look!
What is . ie matter with you? Take
the drops at ee! God forbid that
you should bring the typhus into our
O.
The girl turned impatiently away.
"'Nothiing is the matter with me," she
said. "but h is stricken with the fever
in a neighboring village, and is with
out care. Ivan goes to him to-mor
row. Not until to-miorrow! 0. my
God, how long it will be before morn

--Who, child! Arnim?"
'"No. no: Hilmar Us-ikow! I im
plore you go to him at once."
"What do vor. say, foolish girl? I
go to this stranger! I would really
like to know why '"
"To nurse him, to save him ! Uncle
Arnim says that in this sickness. nurs
ing does every thing. And just think
of it-lie lies in a low musty peasant
chambher. amuong strange, rough peo
ple. uncared for and alone! Perhaps
there is no one to even hand himt a
drink in hii thirst and agoyi. You
mut go to him. Every monent's de
lay brings him nearer death."
aI iust go! Aire you mad. Desirce,
and why 1. out of all the world?"
"Because lie loves you!" cried the
i. desparingly. -Because he wishes
to make you his wife."
For a moment Marianne sent petri
fied. Then -hie shrugged her shoulders
and answered:
"M child, even if Ussikow loved me
to distraction-and I have not re
marked that lie cares for me in the
leat-I would not leave his house
01 hour for his sake. In the firt
place, it w ould be highly improper
even for his promised wife. and would
cause no end of talk; in the second
place, 1 mightt get this dreadful fev.er,
and perhaps my death. I would, in ne
event, accept an offer from this gen-.
tlemant; I do not care for him, and I
will never leave my cousin. What
would lie dlo without me? Now coite
to the table child.- It is half an hout
past the time. It was thoughtless in
Arnint to send the message at this
hour. The fish is no doubt spoiled.
But how excited you are! French wom
en arc terribly hysterica!."
"Do von thiink Ussikow will die?"
asked the girl, witht quivering lips.
"It is moire than likelv it this die
e:a5.; but if he.can be saved, nty cousin
will save hint. It is a .rare piece ol
goo.d luck that he is not sick in our
houe., aind that he can not he moved.

with an emtpty stomach in times like
his is riangerous. Lie down after

pasa. I am glad Ar-nim has not seen
vou so."
'I beg you do not tell hint a wiord !"
"If you stop this nontseitse and act
like a sensible creature I will tell him
nothing."
Was it "sensible" to wander rest
lessly up and down through house and
garden, to count the minutes until
evening, to stare with glowing eyes
into the distancee, to press feverish
haitds to a burning forehead, and ask
if the pitiless sun would itever go down,
to stammter incoherent prayers for one
alone-one who was perhaps now toss
ing in delirium, and longing vainly for
sonte hand to smooth his pillow ?
Could Arnim have suspected with
what longing Papillon aw'aited hint-a
longing not on his owit account-would
he htave hastened htome ?

A woma. rmeriv our .ave i row
our cook. A:)out eighteen months
:be became sickly and had a cough and
eoa f cinled to bed, and it was thought
:h.:t she had consumption. The treat
meIt by physicians failed to give relief.
In December, 1814, a node or knot the
size of a goose egg formed just above
the oit of the stomach, which, when
lhmed, discharged matter for eight or
nine onths. One of these also formed
na-cr her arm, and three on her back,
whib discharged matter for -. consider
able time. For six months of this time
she confined to the house, and most of
the time in bed. The stomach often re
fused food, by rejecting what she had
eaten. She used a great deal of medi
cine. but failed to be cured. I bought
one bottlu of your B. B. B. (made in
Atlanta, Ga,) and gave it to her and she
commt.nced to improve. I then bought
and gave her three bottles more, andtshe
continued to improve, and in two
months' time her cough had ceased, her
constitution st:engthened, appetite and
digestion gCod. all discharges ceased,
Lodes or knots disappeared and she went
to work apparently healthy and fattened
up greatly.
:S woman had a married sister of
near the satae age who was affected in
precisely the same way and about the
same time. The had nodes or i:uots on
pit of her stomach, back, etc. She did
not take any B. B. B. and the node on
her stomach ate through to the cavity.
She continued on the decline and wasted
away, and finaliv died.
These were two terrible cases of blood
poison-one used B. B. D. and was
speedily cured-the other did not use it
and died. It is most assuredly a most
wonderful blood puritier. I refer to
mracrhant of thi town Yonrs truly,
