The were on a pleasure trip. Sud

ty paused and said:
"fiurely something is wrong. I feel
that something is amiss. Oyesl It
has been almoet two hours since we
had Mr. Coe Dakk take a group of
OS."
And immediately the matter was at
tended to. -
I had been sitting for six long
, weeks behind my doorplate waiting
for the pattvnts that, in: the first hope
I ful days of my new - venture. ' were
most confidently looked for. Contra
ry to everyone's advice, I had decided
upon making a practice in prefer
ence to buying one; but, so fair they-r-the
patients were conspicuous by
their absence.
It was, I say, the end of my first
six- weeks the longest , and weariest
six weeks I had ever passed. Each
hour dragged out Its sixty minutes,
and each minute saw the death of a
hope, until nojv of all hope I was near
ly bankrupt when the consulting room
bell gave out at length its first wild
peal.
The Instantaneous result was simply
indescribable; The good old soul who
kept house for me nay, did every
thing rora cooking to praying for
me and who shared to the fullness
of her warm old heart in all my hopes
and fears, hastened to smooth the
hair and clothes of the Buttons, and
hurry him to the door. He the But
tons assumed a dignity and import
ance that I shall never forget, while
I rushed to my bedroom to put on
my frock coat and call up my profes-
sional attitude.
"When I entered the "insulting
room." as the Buttons persisted ic
calling my well arranged sanctum
I found a tall, slender girl standing
there, with clear-cut, well-pronounced
features, a prominent chin and large
luminous eyes, having dark shadows
beneath. She was dressed In a dark
gray waterproof that fitted her per
fectly, a hat of the fashion ot two
years ago, and a pair of much-mended
slate-colored gloves. Her manner
was quiet but thoroughly self-possess
ed; she rose as I entered, and told
me that she kept a tobacco and papei
shop in Arlington street, close by,
'.Ska had. she said, been far from
well of late, and would be glad if 1
would give her something that would
enable her to get through her work
Upon sounding her chest I found that
she was suffering from pleurisy, and
advised her to go home and to bed for
a day or two. adding that if she con
tinued to get about In her present
condition she .would probably have a
severe llliness.
The following day I visited her at
her little shop,' at the back of which
was a small apartment that did duty
as a sleeping, sitting and eating room
I found her lying on the sofa, breath
ing painfully and heavily, and as I
asked automatically the stock ques
tions, and at the same time took in
e contents of the room, I rapidly
rea,wd that . nad anything but an
ordinary patient to deal with. The
girls mantrar. the neatness of her
dress, the peri-t cleanliness of the
tiny room, the character of the few
books on the shelf, which were parti;
theological and partly well-chosen
novels, contrasted most markedly
with the startling absence of every
comfort nay, almost every necessity
of life. Having given her all neces
sary directions and prescribed the
necessary medicine, I rose to go, and
aa I did so asked ir sue would allow
me to send her a bottle of some wine
I had, that I thought applicable
to her case. She thanked me. and
from that day until she had recovered
not wine only, but soup, and other
necessaries were daily supplied her
from my house. In a fortnight she
was quite herself again and busy in
her little shop,
From that date the whole aspect of
my practice was changed; the sur
gery bell got no prolonged rest; the
old housekeeper became exultant; the
Buttons found the place anything but
the sinecure he had at first anticipat
ed, and I, from the crest of the rising
wave, saw a great professional careei
Just ahead of me. But the strangest
part of this strange turn events had
so suddenly taken, was that every pa
tient, or nearly every patient, could
be traced, either directly or indirect
ly to my rnena in Arlington street.
"Miss Milne, sir," many of them
would say, "has advised me to consult
you with reference to my child's
health. Miss Milne tells me sir, that
you are great on Joints.'
I called several times to thank ber
for the energetic way In which she
was more than repaying me for my
efforts to be of service to her.
I ordered .my morning paper and to-
premonitory symptoms ot a severe at
tack of Inllamation ot the lungs, that
kept him hanging between lite ' and
death for many daya. Miss Milne was
standing over him, wringing her
hands with an intensity ot emotion
that was altogether unaiint-llke and
from that moment I was confirmed in
my conviction that the child was her
own.
When I called to see my little pa
tient the next day I found the Inflam
mation firmly established, and having
altered his prescription, I dispatched
her to a neighboring room to borrow
some boiling water, that we might
make a poultice for the little fellow's
chest Directly she left, the thought
struck me that very likely there was
no material to be had whereon to
spread the linseed, and seeing a bun
dle of clothing on the ton shelf. I pro
ceeded to unpack it, hoping to find
something suitable.
On how minute a thread a destiny
may hang;! "Throw a stone," said an
old scientist, "and you alter th.e earth's
axis.
I pull down a bundle of apparently
old clothing, and I ruin two lives.
This fateful bundle was loosely
wrapped up in a piece of black lining
material, from the corners of which
peeped out what I had taken to be
some old calico; but I had no sooner
untied the parcel than I found, first
a white lawn surplice, then an exquis
itely worked stole, an Oxford hood, a
long black cassock and a photograph
of the gentleman who had evidently
owned' and had been photographed in
this costume.
When Miss Milne returned she
found me staring Into this, to me, in
explicable collection of mysteries,
She started back .with an exclamation
of painful astonishment, and then, in
stantly rcovering herself, she said,
with no betrayal of the emotion that
was welling from every pore of her
I have got the water you require. Is
there anything more I can get, doc
tor?"
I thanked her and said I wanted an
old piece of Btuft whereon to spread
mv linseed, and had been tnrnlnx over
what I had mistaken for a bundle of
old linen.
You will find nothing there that Is
suitable, she said, with assumed
composure; "but this handkerchiel
may do." And together we made and
applied the poultice.
I called the next night to see how
my little patient was progressing, and
finding him better. I was about to
leave, when Miss MUlne asked me if
I could spare a few moments In which
she would tell me "something of her
past life, which she would like me to
know." With this request, I need
scarcely say, I willingly compiled
anas Milne began by telllne me
that her father was a small farmer In
Blankshlre. and as he was poor and
blessed with a large family, of which
she was the eldest. It was her father's
wish that she should, earn her own
livelihood.
With this object in view, she had
applied for and obtained a situation
in a large drapery establishment at the
west end of London, where she was
not only very happy, but very success
ful.
Four months after her entry Into
this establishment she caught cold

But, Miss Milne,' he continued, i am

against this weakness until I am no
lonarer able to continue the battle.'
Then sinking on his knees before .me
and taking both of my :hands In his,
and wringing them in the depth and
strength ot his pssion, he poured
forth, with favor begotten of his na
tionality, the story of his love and his
fight against it When he had finished
his terrible story, I asked him In
voice far less audible to me than the
throbblngs of my own heart: 'What do
you wish me to do?' He asked me
under some pretext to go to Brixton,
and he. would follow and meet me
there. "The day following we will be
married, and then and then'"
here Miss Milne folded her face In her
hands and continued : "He drew Btich
a picture of our after life. Its sweets.
Its love. Its happy contentment, that 1
too, being human, consented. The fol
lowing" day we were married at Brix
ton, and that day saw the last of all
happiness and all hope in my life.
We took two rooms in a quiet
street in Brixton, and I had not been
married twenty-four hours before I
found that in my husband there were
two men distinct and utterly dis
similar the. clergyman that I had
known, and the husband that I had
yet to learn. The one had all the capa

pecially women, love and revere him;
In the other was combined every at

men.
I lived with htm for two months.
The greater part of his time was. of

he would return once or twice a week,
and when heame in would often kiss
me, and that quite fondly: then he
would put oft his clerical suit and put
on a suit of tweet, and with the change
of clothes the whole man would altei

Miss Milne looked up from the fire
and added: "You may know, sir,

know that It happened and the hor
rors of it."

i The nature of the strange circum
stances that had combined to bring
a girl of such manners, good looks
and evidence of past respectability in
to such a poverty-stricken position
was to me a constant source of won
derment. I made her the center of a
