' Eight months have passed since the close of the last chapter, ana things are much as they were. The love of occupation and the occupation of love have combined to make the time pass very happily and veryswlftly. About once a month I have visited Chisel- burst and stayed over Sunday. Edith, my Edith (of whom wore presently). ond I have learned to love each other intensely, more so than any Quantity of type can convey, and life without hor now would be very dreary and not worth the IIvIiir. ' - Of Miss Milne I have seen nothing. Her shop was closed the week after I last saw her there, and although vari ous reports have come to me of her terrible goings-on, I have myself seen nothing of her. One Monday evening I was sitting after dinner, readng the evening pa per, when Ann came in with a note: a child was waiting in the hall, she said, to take me somewhere. The note was from the wife of our clergyman. 1 opened It and read as follows "Dear Dr. Risby I am sure that nn. der the circumstances you will forgive me for troubling you. I have this morning been sent for to the most wretched house Imaginable, and foum there a girl in the most titter state of poverty, and in need of your help you will come, and I am sure you will, the bearer of this letter will show you the place. Believe me. very truly yours, E. N. CARPENTER. As hurriedly as I could, I collected in my bag the few things I might need, and putting on my coat the nljiht was bitterly cold I joined my little guide In the ball. As we hurried along the pavement I tried to learn something of the case was going to see, but the girl knew nothing of It She had. she told me. been hailed by the lady while walking down Arlington street, and requested to bring me the letter and show me the house. Before the door of the most miser able of all the miserable tenements of that wretched quarter my guide stopped. "It's up them steps, sir," she said, and up them I went as rapidly as their rickety condition would al low. On landing at the very top I found the lady who had sent for me. "I am afraid," she said, "I have brought you to a very terrible place, but you must forgive me; I could do nothing else. But come; will you follow me? She led me Into a room, the stench, the misery and the absolute squallor of which no one but those who have visited the slums of London can pos sibly Imagine. I walked to the win dow, and from the broken panes pulled out the pieces of carpet, old linen and newspapers that did duty for glass. With the little light thus obtained saw In one corner a mass of straw, and over and about It soiled under clothing and old dresses. This was evidently the bed, for under the clo thing I could distinctly discern the angular outlines of a woman's form On the back of the door other dresses were hung, but these were of a very different character; they were gaudy, If not expensive, and carried a world of meaning to me I recognized by them not only the kind of room I was in, but also the knd of patient I had to deal with. Mrs Carpenter had stood perfectly still during the few seconds I had been taking stock of the place. - "I think," she said, "we ought to be doing something," and then added, significantly, "there are two lives involved." Two?" I asked. "Where's the other?" She pointed to another bundle in the other corner of the room, and walkng over to it, I threw off a piece of sacking, and exposed to view an in fant that, though but a few hours old. had the wrinkled skin, troubled ex pression and monkey-like cast of fea tures peculiar to some of the aged poor. Its limbs were about the thlc"i ness of an ordinary walking stick, its fingers long and talon-like, and as the cold air from the broken window awakened It, It began to emit the cry characteristic of its order, a far-awsy, Dining, half-whistle kind of cry, that contrasts so markedly with the hearty shriek of a newly born healthy child. With natural tenderness Mrs. Carpen ter covered up the poor little creature, and I, walking over to the mother, knelt down beside her bed and spoke to her. It was the first time I had raised my voice above a whisper, and at the sound of It the Inanimate pic ture of starvation, with an evidence of strength which astonished me, threw her bead around and stared at me. If her body Bhowed evidence of star vation, her face did so In a thousand fold greater degree; her cheek bones and the angles of her lower Jaw were standing out In painful prominence, and her eyes, always larger than hu man, were now perfectly startling in their size and brilliancy. It was only for a .moment she stared at me, then turning back to the wall, she hurled her face In the clothing. "who sent for you? who told you to come? she asked, loudly. "Go," and then more loudly still "go at once, and leave me!" "Of course, you know I shall not go, Miss Milne," for it was none other than she. "I shall not leave you until I have seen you have some food and are made comfortable." . "I'll take nothing you offer me." And then she groaned again, "Go. go, both of you, and leave us to die; that's all we want, and why can't we have itr Mrs. Carpenter walked to the bed side, and taking In hers the thin hand of the patient, in the kindest tones Implored of her not to talk like that, but to let us do what we could for her. But I don't want you here; I didn't tend for you. Why can't people mind their own business?" 1 beckoned Mrs. Carpenter to Join rae on the landing outside. What is to be done?" she said. "Do you know her,. Dr. Rigby?" I know her very well," I replied; in fact, I may almost say I owe ray life to her. She nursed me through a long Illness." "But what has happened to her? Is he mad?" "No, I don't think she is mad, and T don't think she Is sane. But I will tell you more about her some day. We ought to be seeing now what we can do for her that Is, If anything can be done; but you will find It exceedingly dfflcult; bringing her food Is a simple thing, but making her take it Is a different one.I warn you that girl will no everything in the world to starve herself and her Infant. It's very un fortunate that I should have been sent for; of course- you know I like to come, but I am certain you will do nothing vita hnr with me in the room; the girl has a great horror of my seeing her in this condition. DUIn' you see how Bhe drew away from me?" . , - "Yea, I "noticed it and wondered what it meant." "If you will allow me to suggest. think the wisest course to follow would be this: I will leave her she needs no niedlcal care and send you at once as good a nurse as I can get about here, some food and wine from my house, and a few old things in the way of clothing. Tq this suggestion Mrs. Carpenter assented, and on my road home I railed upon the only woman I could think of as available. She was widow, a Mrs. Best, who, although better than the majority of her class. belonged to a very distinct and very low natural ordor. I must pause here a moment to Bay one word about this order. I had christened them "the vultures." They .were very common in every street in my district, and, presume, In all parts of London: not necessarily widows, though wldo-vs predominate; not necessarily drunk ards, although they have a great weakness for "Old Tom. I found Mrs Best at liberty, and very glad to undertake the duty. I told her us much as but no more than was necessary of my relationship with Miss Milne. I found afterward that what I had told her was just enoiiKh to awaken her woman's curiosity, and on the basts of her surmises she built conjectures and theories that in after days gave me much trouble. "I want yon, If you will." I said, "to take the entire charge of her; pay no regard to any remonstrance or pro test; get food for her, and make her take It. As to the child. It's a wretch ed specimen, hut do what you ran t." save It I will meet you each day at 11 at the street door." The first day that I met Mrs. Best she told me that Miss Milne had neither eaten anything nor spoken to her. . "She's a mm woman," she said, and I thing she's trying to kill her self: hut the chlld's'all right." The second day I learned that Miss Milne "was In the same condition, and on the third day Mrs. Best did not ap pear at all. I Just caught Bight of her as I entered the street; she was peep ing round the corner of the door. watching for my coming; the moment she saw rae she withdrew her head and disappeared. I was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, wondering whut I should do, when a woman who lived opposite came over to me. "Is It Mrs. Best you wanted to sec. sir?" she asked. Yes why? Do you know where she Is?" She's upstairs, sir; she went but a moment Bince. Shall I run and fetch her?" I thanked her, and, although I knew that her only motive was her wretched curiosity, I was very glad of her help, for I was very anxious to hear some thing of Miss Milne. In a few moments she returned, followed by Mrs. Best. The moment she appeared I saw why she had not kept her appointment, she was wearing one of Miss Milne's showy dresses, and the color of her cheeks showed the consciousness of her guilt. I couldn t come down before, sir. she said, "for the lady Is not so well: she's raving. I think you ought to see er. t thought a moment, and decided to commit her to the care of a medical friend of mine. It was utterly utse less for me to try and do anything for her. I had little difficulty in securing his help, and a promise to report in the evening as to her condition. In the evening he came and told me that Hhough Miss Milne had no symptoms of illness that In other people would be serious, yet he was very doubtful as to what the result in her case would be. You see," he said, "she's not like anybody else; she'll neither speak to you nor taRe rood. Has she taken no food?' I asked. Well, as a matter of fact she has now, but it was not until f had gone home and got the stomach pump and actually opened her mouth with the object of forcing her, that she eon- sented to swallow It. What a strange character she is! Do you know her wen?" "Yes, I know a good deal about her, and am much Interested in her wel fare, and anything yon can do for her I shall take as a very great favor to myself." "You may depend upon my doing evertmng I can. But what about that nurse?" "Oh, she's a brute; but then they an are." "But she's worse than any of them. She's actually wearing the woman's dresses; she drinks all the brandy, and at 11 o'clock this morning the baby was neither washed nor dressed. When I remonstrated with her she said, 'Oh, he's all right; he's too well, I expect, to please his fath er.' 'Do you know the father?' I asked. She didn't reply, but gave me a very significant look. I'd keep my eye or that woman, if I were you." "I wish I could, but you see I can't go near the house; but you must for me, and report anything you notice." I did not see my medical friend for about four days, and then he came In to tell me that the whole aspect of the case had altered; he found Miss Milne each morning sitting up in bed, taking her food freely and reading a French novel; there was no difficulty in get ting her into conversation." And," he added, "her conversation interests me immensely. In what way?" I don't know; she's such an awful cynic. She believes In nothing, in neither' man nor woman, churches nor chapels, hell nor heaven. I should think she must be pretty hard-hearted when she's well, from what I see of her sick." 'Perhaps, I replied; and then, to Mi astonishment, I added, "and yet, do you know that girl nursed me through my attack of typhoid with a devotion almost maternal?" "Really! Well, she's a puzzle then." left to the cara of heartless neighbor at so much the hour." "Have you su her?" "Yes; yesterday afternoon I saw her. and tried to reason with her, but she is far too clever for mo." "Was she denant, or simply cavo- lesa as to her future? "Well, neither: she slmnly contend ed that she was making the most of her life, getting the moRt pleasure ob tainable. But I called about the bnby; Just now It Is being left ouch night r. tha care of the Woman opposite, her self a wretch, and It appears the child does not sleep, and the woman, to make It sleep, gives It gin. Now, the probability Is that tho child Is HI. and I want you tonlsht, when they're gone, to run in and see It If you will." "I shall ho very glad, and I'll try and substitute something for the glu that will be less harmful."

I dressed hurriedly and made for the. house, a messenger having gone on before. When I reached the room, a sight never to bo forgotten presented Itself. On the bundle of stray that repre sented Miss Milne's bed lay the deud body of the Infant; it had been "laid out" In the usual way, but was still clothed In the dirty rags In which I had last Seen It. At the -bedside and leaning over It stood Miss Milne. She had on nfl her war paint, her gaudy dress, many ribbons and much Jewel ry, but from her face thpre was ft marked absence of that levity that ona usually associates with such a cos tume. She was looking unutterably sad, and unless I am very much mis taken was reviewing her life, especial ly her life of late, and finding it want ing.
