And, raising Itis ftra.e cap, the doctor walked slowly ant with dligniity awlay, leaving Perry too urrii.;tul to sIt.ak. "The colon,l told hint to tell rne!" was Perry':, wondering sIilouty at last. "TnnI supl,l>se he ntnst haveo told the chief >one story to account, for his being vawv." It was pretty evident, from the young fellow's inani rr as he entered the ionuse that the ;tory was not ono which strucl hiirin as being entitled to conli deciie or cionsiderationt. On the ta,lo in hii little sitting room liv a dainty note. It was not the first he lt,l re('ived uitler that supers<rip tion, and he had not becen t;low\ to opeti anl 1:0d thent. If anything, the cloud 111 n his foreheal seetmel to deepcen at sight of it. He picked it up, I11tked nit. lati,-ntly at the address, hesitated a Imo inent, tossed it back on histdesk and went into the inner roonl. 1Iu would not read it now; it was :hniost parade tinte; he hald to hathe and chanige his dr"ess, for after parade Ite was to din at the cluarters of an infantry friiend, and ('apt. and1 Mrs. I,awlrence wete to be of the party.

When l'ar"ke cane in, whistling and singing and hanging doors and making all man ner of uncoulth noiso in the exuberance of his spirits, he bolted into Perry's do main, as wa";s his wont, and begin a rat tling comment on the events of the day. "13y the way," hol broko in, suddenly, "we caii't both go to-morrow; and I sui post) you11 walt to," "Go0 where?" "Why, out with (lie hounds; to-mor row's the day, you know." Perry g:t\ve a whistle of perplexity. The coltinel had il tinised1 the ladies that ther shtold he :a run tihi s very week.
