"Why. Is he an invalid?" questioned the seemingly artless Prudence. "No, but he has been a victim of the prevailing grip epidemic and his doctor said a few weeks' convalescence away from business cares was necea aary." "Tea, we must be helpful and kind to the sick and weak." sighed Prudaoee pathetically. Ton mean we must seize all golden opportunities," reported Dorcas tartly, valuing the simpering platitudes of ar sister at their true worth. "Cousin Rayiston ia a man of means, a comparatively young man, and?who knows?"

"Why, I am not sick," said Roylaton. We never know In a case Uki yours," observed Dorcas In a dolorous tone. "They say the after effects art sometimes very severe. But you will lave at hand faithful nurses." Roylstoo made a wry face, unobserved by his officious relatives, when he sat down to his first meal. He was hungry as an ox. but cream toast, thin gruel and a single poached egg were proffered him. "Brother is very strict as to the alimentary regime," droned Dorcas "Prudence be sure that Cousin Royi ton's room Is ventilated just right and a warming pan pressed between the beets before he retires '* And then use Brother Ezra, a cadaverous young man who gloomily kept his eye en Roylston as though he was analyzer him with view to protracted medical treatment "I shall send over some medicine in the morning," he announced sepulchralty, "a few gargles and lotions/ and he left a phial of pellets which Boylstoo promptly tossed out of the window when he reached his room In the morning there arrived a pack age of counter-irritants, lotions and the like, and all that day the sisters watched Roylston with an assiduity and vehemence that nearly drove him wild.

"I'll make my escape before they poison me. If I have to jumf from the window.** That was Jast what Roylston had to do an hour later. Gazing thence h? observed the reflection of a light In a lower room. He. could not leave th? house that way, without apprizing his Jailers. He dropped his grip from the window, followed with the aid of a trellis and made tracks speedUy. Roylston turned from the house and town. His Idea was to seek the first safe shelter that presented. At the end of a flve-mile tramp, wearied and forlorn, turning a bend in the road h? came upon a horse and wagon at a standstill. A shapely, golden-hatred girl was mending the broken harness musically upbraiding and then petting the steed, who had attempted to rue away.
