I il;lit cumuiuiilt'Ote at oui-o with Meeara. 8.ott aud Ilrtiwu, giving tlH'in the Informal luti they had ad- vertleed for all monih before. I might aril my knowledge uf Mia ttlllvler for Hrty poutiita. In dolug ao I might render her a great eervlre, by reetortug her to her proper aphent In aoclety. Wut the recollection of Tarilif'a denfriptli'ti of her a hwkiug ttTrittttl and hunted recurred vividly to me. The adnr(leniput put her age aa twenty one. I aliould not have Judged her o old myaetf, eaptvlally mce her hair had been rut abort. I waa not prepared to deliver her uu until 1 knew aouiethiug more of both (Idea of the que.thm. Mettled that If I could aet Mciar. Scott and ilrowa and team aotuetbing about Mia. Ollivier'a friruda, t might be thro able to deride whether I would be tray her to them; but t would not write. Alao, that I mint ace hei' again Brat, aud once mora urge her to have coundrnce In me. If ah would truat ma with ber aecret, I would be aa into to her aa l friend a I meant to be true to Julia. II nving come to theae rottclualone, 1 cut the advertlaement carefully out Of the crumpled paper, and placed It In my pockethook with portralta of my mother and Julia. Here were mcmcntoea of the Ihree women I cared meet tor In th world my mother Arat, Julia aecond, aud my myaterioue patient third. CHAPTER VII. I wa neither In goou aplrtt nor lu good temper during the neit few daya. My mother and Julia appeared aatonleh ed at thia. for I waa nut ordinarily aa touchy and fractioua aa t allowed myaelf immediately after my aojouro In Hark. I waa a.hamcd uf It myaelf, Th new houne, which occupied their time and tboiubla ao agreeably, worried me aa it bad not done before. I made every poa.ible exeuae nut to lie aeut to it, or takes to it, acveral ttmea t day. It waa po.itlvely uereamary that I ahould run over to Sara thia week-1 bad given my word to .MUa Ollivler that I would do ao-but I dared not meutlon auch a project at home. My mother and Julia would be up In arm at the Brat jyllahle I uttered. What if I could do two patleiita good at one etnke kill two blrda with on atone? Captain Carey had a pretty little yacht lying idle In Hi. Hamtou'a bar bor, aud a day'i crulaiug would do hint all the good in the world. Why ahould he not carry me orer to Bark, when 1 could vlnit my other patient, and nobody be made mlarrable by :! trip? "I will make yoo up aome of your old medicine," I aald, "but I atrongly rec ommend yoo to hare a day out on the water; aeven or eight houra tt any rote. If the weather keep aa Due aa lt ia now, it will do you i world of good," "It la o dreary alone," lie objected. "If I could mnniige it," I aniil, ib'lib- eratlng, "I ahould be glad to hare a day with you. "Ah! If you could do that!" he replied eagerly. Til ace about It," I anid. "Should yon mlml where you Halted to?" "Not at all, not at all, my boy," be anawered, "ao thnt I get your company. Yon ahali be akippcr or belm.niau, or both, If you like." "Well, then, I replied, "you might take me over to the Havre Oo.aeliti, to aee how my patient'a broken arm la going on. It a a bore there being no realdent med ical man there at tht moment." The run over waa ail thut wa could wihIi. The rockle-ahell of a boat be longing to the yacht bore me to tbe foot of the ladder hanging down the rock at Havre Ooaaelin. A very few tnlnutea took me to the top of the cliff, and there lay tbe III tie thatched net like home of my patient. I haateued forward eagerly. All wa allent aa I croaeed the atony cauaewny of the yard. Not a face looked out from door or window. Mam'acile'a casement stood a little way open, and the breeze played with the curtain, flut tering them like batinvra In a proccaaion. I dared not try to look in. The house door waa ajar, and I approached It cau tlouily. "Thank heaven!" I cried within myaelf aa I gmed eagerly Into the cot tage. Hlie waa lying there upon the fern-bed, half anlccp, her head fallen buck upon the pillow, and the book aim bud been reading dropped from her hand, The whole Interior of the cottage formed a picture. Tho old furniture of oak, the neutral tint of the wall and ceiling, and the deep tone of her green dreaa threw out Into strong relief tbe graceful shin ing head and pale face. I auppose alio became subtly conscloua, as women always are, that somebody's eyes were Bxcd upon her, for aha awoka fully and looked up aa I lingered on the door aill. "Oh, Dr. Martini" she cried, "I am ao glad!" "I am come to ace how my work le go ing on," I aald. "How la the rra, lirat of all?" I almost wished that mother Renouf or Biuanne Ttrdif had been at hand. But Miss Ollivler seemed perfectly composed, as much so as a child. Hho looked like one with her cropped head of hair, and frank, open face, My own momentary embarrassment passed away. Tho arm was going on all right, and ao was moth er Itenouf's charge, the sprained ankle, "We must take care you are not lame," I said. "You must promise m not to set your foot on tbe ground, or In any way rest your weight upon It, till I give you leave." "That means that you will hare to come to ace me nguln," she aald; "ia it not very difficult to come over from Guernsey?" "Not at all," I answered, "It it quite a treat to me." Her face grew rery grave, os If she was thinking of some nupleasant topic, Hhc looked! at me earnestly and quea tlonlugly. "May I apeak to you with great plain Bess, Dr, Martin?" iho asked. fjilemraa Stretton "Kpeik precisely what la In your mind at thia nwiuiut," I replied. "You are eery, very good to Me," she aald. holding out her hand to uie, "but I do not want yon to com more eflrn than ta quite netvaaary, bet-anae I am very poor. If I were rich," ehe went OR hurriedly, "I ahould Ilk you to com. every day it I an ph-aaot but I ran never pay you auftleleully for that luug week you went here, Ho please do not vlalt tne oftrtier than la quite n'ery." .My face felt hot, but I scarcely kuew what to say. I bungled out an answer, "I would ot take any money from you. and I that) com to p you a of tea aa I can." "You ar not offended with in, Ir, Martin?" ah asked, in a pleading tone, "No," I answered; "but you ar ml. taken In auppoalug a medical man has no love tor bis profe.aloa apart from it protlia. To see that your arm geta prop erly well la part of my duty, and I ahali fulfill It without any thought or whether t ahali got paid for It or no," "Now," she aald, "I mint let you know how poor t am. Will you plea tofetch ni my bog out of my ruout?" I wa only too glad to obey' her. Thia seemed to b an opening to a complete eonttdeuc between tie. Now I cam to think of It, fortune had favored m In thus throwing ua together alone. I lifted th small, light bog very eaaily - ther could not b many treasure In It and carried It back to her, ttb took a key out ef her pocket aud unlocked It with atime difficulty, but b could not rai.e the, lid without my help. I took car ant to offer any aasiatauc until h asked It. , "HALF Yea. there were very few poe.lon In that light trunk, but th Drat glancej showed me a blue .Ilk dreaa and aealaklu jacket aud bat. I lifted them out fr her, and after them a pir of velvet slip pen, aoilcil, aa If they bad been through muddy mods. I did not utter a remark. Iteneath these lay a handsome watch and chain, a Bo diamond ring and live sover eign lying Ions In Ibe bog. "That la all the money I bav lu lb world," ah aald sadly. 1 laid tbe five sovereign In her wit) nil white hand, and ahe turned them over, one after another, with a pitiful look on her face. I felt fooltab euougb to cry over them myaelf. "Dr. Martin," was her unexpected question after a luug pause, "do you know what became of my hair?" "Why?" I asked, looking at her lin gers running through tbe abort eurla we bad left her. "Because that ought to be sold for somethiug," the said, "I am almost glad you bad it cut off. My hairdresser told m one be would give five guineas for a head of hair like mine, It waa ao loug, and tha color waa uncommon. Klv guinea would not be half enough to pay y .ni. though, I know." Hlie spoke to simply and quietly that I did not attempt to remonstrate with her about her anxiety to pay me, "Tardif baa It," I aaid; "but of course he will give It you back agnlu. Hhall 1 aell It for you, luam'ielle?" "Oh, thnt I just what I could not aak you!" ah exclaimed, "You see ther i no one to buy It here, and I hope it may be a long time before I go away. 1 don't know, though; that depend upon wbeth er I can dispose of my things. There la my sealskin, It cost twenty tlv guinea last year, and It ought t b worth some thing. Aud my watch art what a tile one it la. I should Ilk to aell them all, every on. Then 1 could atay bcr a long a the money lasted." "How much do you pay here?" I inquir ed, for ahe had taken tne to far Into counsel thut I felt Ju. tilled In asking that question. "A pound a week," ah answered, "A pound a week I" I repented, In amaaement. "Loes Tardif know that?" "I don't think ho does," ah said. "When I had been here a week I gave Mrs. Tardif a sovereign, thinking per haps alio would give me a little out of It, I am not used to being poor, mill I did not know how much 1 ought to pay. Hut she kept It all, yid came to mo every week for more. Was It too much to pay?" - "Too much I" I said. "You ahould have spoken to Tardif about it, my poor child," "1 could not talk to Tardif about hit mother," she answered. "Besides, It would not hove been too much, If I had only had plenty. Hut it has niiido me ao anxloua. I did not know whatever 1 ahould do when It was ull gono. I do not know now." Hero wa a capital opening for a quet tlon about her friends. "You will be compelled to communi cate with your family," I aald. "You have told mo-how poo. you are; cannot you trust mo about your friends?" "I have uo friends," alio answered sor rowfully. "If I had any, do you auppose I ahould be here?" "I am one," I said, "and Tardif la an other." "Ah, now friends," sho replied; "but I mean real old friends who bav known you all your lifo, like your mother, Dr. Martin, or your cousin Jullu. 1 want somebody to go to who knows all about me, and aay to them, after telling them everything, keeping nothing back at all, 'Hare I done right? What cine ought 1 to have done?' No new friend could an swer questions Ilka those." Was there any reason I could bring forward to Increase her coniiilcuca lu me? I thought there was, and her friend- 1 ' , i ii teaeneet aud belpleasnee touched m H th cor of my heart, let It was with aa Indrunabl relm-lauc that I brought to ward my argument. miaa Ollivler," I aald, "I hava M claim of old aiHiualnianc or friendship, yet It la poaalblo I might answer thos qiteatlotta. If you could prevail upuaj your self to tell nte th circumstance of your former life. In a few weeks I shall be In t lio.lt lou to show you umre friendship than I ran do nuw, I shall bav a bom of my own, and a wire, who will tw your friend tuor Bttlngly, perbupa, than my aelf," "I knew It," ahe answered, half akyty, "Tardif told m you were going to mar ry your cousin Julia, Just then w heard the foldyard gala awiiig to behind aom unv who waa com lug to th bouse, It wa an Imiio ne relief to a, o'y Tardif tull Mgur crossing tb yard alowly, I balled him, ami he uulckened hi pace, hi hoticat features lighting up at th alght of uie.

"Not ao very long.' I aald, testily; "but I will Ju.t run in and ey good by. and then I want yon to walk with me to tha cliff." 1 turned back for a last look and a Isat word. No chance) of leamiug her aecret now. The picture wua aa perfect aa when I had had tbe first gllmpv of It, only her far hud grown, if poaaibl. more charming after my renewed scru tiny of it, "Shall I ead you th hair?" asked Miaa Ollivler. "To be aunt," I answered. "I shall dispose of It to advantage, but I hat nut time to wait for It now." "Aud may i writ a letter to yoT" "Yea," waa my reply, I wa too pleat ed t'i tupreaa myaelf more eloqtlcully, "Uoml by," ah aaid; "you ar a rry good doctor to uie," ASLEEP." "And friend r I added. "And friend," ah repeated. For tb neit few days I wli, with aome Impatience for Miss Ollivier'a prom ised ktter.

I looked at the word aguln to in nke sure of it. Then It waa uot her surname that waa Ollivler, and I was still Iguorunl of that. I aaw In a moment how the uilatak had arisen, and how Innocent she waa of any deception In th matter. Hlie would tell Tardif I lint her name waa Olivia, and he thought only of th Ollivler he knew. It wua a ml take that had been of use in checking curiosity, and I did not feel bound to put It right. My mother and Julia appeared to hare forgotten my palient iu Hark al together. Olivia! I thought It a very pretty name, and repeated It to myaelf with lit abbreviation. Olive, Llvy, It waa diffi cult to abbreviate Julia; Jit, I had called her In my rudest achoojboy tin. vs. I won dered how high, Olivia would aland bo- side me; for 1 had never seen her on her feet. Julia waa not two liichc ahorler than myself; a tall, stliT nguro, neit Iter slender enough to be lissome, uor well proportioned enough to be tniijenllc, Hut the wut very good, utid her price waa fur above rublea. , I visited Hark nguln In nbout ten days, to act Olivia free from my embargo tipoii her walking. 1 allowed her to walk a lit tle way along a smooth meadow path, leaning on my arm; and 1 found that ah waa a head lower than myself-a licuit' liful height for a woman. Thai tlmo Captain Carey had set me down at th Havre Uoasclln, uppoluilug to nice! at the Cretig harbor, which was exactly on tho opposite side of Hie Island. In cross lug over tu If a ilistmicc of rather mint than a mile I encouuleroil Julia's friends, Emma and Muila Ilrouurd. "You here again, Martin!" exclulined lCinma, "Yes," I answered; "Cnptnln Carey act me down at th Huvra fiosselln, and It gone round to meet me at tho Oreux." "You have been to ace that young par son?" asked Marin, "Yea," I replied. , "Shu In a very singular young woman," sh contluuud; "we think her stupid. Wt cannot make anything of her. Hut there la no doubt poor Tardif means to marry her." "Nonsense!" I ejaculated hotly; "I beg your pardon, Maria, but I give Tardif credit for senxu enough tu know bin own position." ' I hud half an hour tn wait In the llttl harbor, its great clIITs rising all about me, with only a tunnel bored through them to form an entrance to tho green island within, My rage had partly fum ed Itself away before tho yacht came In' light.
