Jbe Doctor's f)llemma By Hesba Stretton CnAPTHIl Vl.-lContlnued.) We walked homo together. Wo bail a food deal to talk of during the evening, and sit up late. It was midnight before I found myself alone In my own room. I had half forgotten the crumpled paper la my wnlstcoat pocket, but now I tmoothrd It out before mo and pondered over every word. No, there could not be a doubt that it referred to Miss Ollivier. Why should she have strayed from home? That was the question, What possible reason could there have been, strong enough to Impel a young and deli cately nurtured girl to run all tho risks and dangers of a flight alono and unpro tected? What ought I to do with this adver tisement, thrust, as it would seem, pur posely under my notice? hat was I to do with the clue? I might communicate at once with Messrs. Scott and urown, giving them the information they had ad vertised for six months before. I might sell my knowledge of Miss Olllvlcr for fifty pounds. In doing so I might render her a great service, by restoring her to her proper sphere in society. Hut the recollection of Tardlf's description of her as looking terrified aad hunted recurred vividly to me. The advertisement put her age as twenty-one. I should not have judged her so old myself, especially since her hair had been cut short, I was not prepared to deliver her up until I knew something more of both sides of the question. Settled that if I could see Messrs. Scott and Brown and learn something about Miss Ollivier's friends, I might be then able to decide whether I would be tray her to them; but I would not write. Also, that I must see her again first, and once more urge her to have confidence In me. If she would trust me with her secret, I would be as true to her as friend as I meant to be true to Julia. Having come to these conclusions, I cnt the advertisement carefully out of the crumpled paper, and placed It in my pocketbook with portraits of my mother and Julia. Here were mementoes of the three women I cared most for in the world my mother first, Julia second, and my mysterious patient third. CUAPTHIt VII. I was neither in goou spirits nor In good temper during the next few days, My mother and Julia appeared astonish' ed at this, for I was not ordinarily as touchy and fractious as I showed myself immediately after my sojourn in Sark. I was ashamed of it myself. The new house, which occupied their time and thoughts so agreeably, worried me as It had not done before. I made every possible excuse not to be sent to it, or taken to It, several times a day. It was positively necessary that I should rcn over to Sark this week I had given my word to Miss Ollivier that I would do so but I dared not mention such a project at home. My mother and Julia would be up in arms at the first syllable I uttered. What if I could do two patients good at one stroke kill two birds with one tone? Captain Carey had a pretty little yacht lying idle in St. Sampson's har bor, and a day's cruising would do him all the good In the world. Why should he not carry me over to Sark, when I could visit my other patient, and nobody be made miserable by the trip? I "I will make you up some of your old medicine," I said, "but I strongly rec ommend you to have a day out on the water; seven or eight hours at any rate. If the weather keeps as fane as it is now, It will do you a world of good." It Is so dreary alone," he objected "We must take care you are not lame,' I said. "You must promise ine not to set your root on the ground, or In any way rest your weight upon It, till I give yon leave." "That means that you will have to conic to see me again," she said; "Is It not very dttllcult to como over from Guernsey?" "Not at all." I answered, "it Is quite a treat to me." Her face grew very grave, as if she was thinking of soma uupleasant topic. She looked at mo earnestly and ques tloolngly. "May I speak to you with great plain ness, Dr. Mart In?" she asked. "Speak precisely what Is In your mind at this moment," I replied. "You are very, very good to me," she said, holding out ber hand to me, "but I do not want you to como mors often than is quite necessary, because I am very poor. If I wore rich," she went on hurriedly, "I should like you to come every day It Is so pleasant but I can never pay you sufficiently for that long week you were here. So please do not visit me oftener than Is quite necessary." My face felt hot. but I scarcely knew what to say. I bungled out an answer. "I would not tako any money from you, and I shall come to see you as often as I can." "You arc not offended with me, Dr. Martin?" she asked, in a pleading tone. "No," I answered; "but you are mis taken in supposing n medical man has no love for his profession apart from its profits. To see that your arm gets prop erly well is part of my duty, and I shall week for more. Was It too much to pay?" "Too much I" I said. "You should havo spekrn to Tardlf about It, my poor child." "I could not talk to Tardlf about tils mother," aho nuswerod, "llosldos, It would not hnvo been too much, It I had only had plenty. Hut it has made mo so anxious. I did not know whatever I should da when It was ail gone. I do not know uow."

"I havo no friends," she answered sor rowfully. "If I had any, do you suppose I should be hero?" "I am one," I said, "nud Tardlf Is an other." "Ah, new friends," she replied; "but I mean real old friends who have known you all your life, like your mother, I)r, Martin, or your cousin Julia. I want somebody to go to who knows all about me, and say to them, after telling them everything, keeping nothing back at all, 'Have I done right? What elso ought I to have dono?' No new friend could an- swer questions like those." Was there any reason I could bring forward to increase her confidence In me? I thought there was, and her friend lessncss and helplessness touched me to the core of my heart. Yet it was with an Indefinable reluctance that I brought for ward my argument. "Miss Ollivier," I said. "I have no claim of old acquaintance or friendship, yet It is possible I might answer thoso questions. If you could prevail upon your self to tell me the circumstances of your former life. In a few weeks I shall be In a position to show you more friendship than I can do now. I shall have n home of my own, and a wife, who will be your friend more fittingly, perhaps, than my' self." I knew It," she answered, half shyly. "Tardlf told me you were going to mar ry your cousin Julia." Just then we heard the foldyard gate swing to behind some one who was com ing to the house. It was an Immense relief to see only Tardit's tall figure crossing the yard rna a hn.il Inn-.ir llulll mVSCIl- a ur.ii tlful height for a woman. That tlius OP.

I ejaculated hotly; "I beg your pardon, Maria, but I giro limit credit for srnse enough to know his own position." I had ha f an hour to wait In the Utile harbor, Its great cliffs rising sll about me, with only a tuunel bored through them to form au entrance to the green Island within. My rage had partly fum ed itself away before the yacht came lu sight. (To be continued.) THEY GOT BISMARCK'S CONSENT Hut .1 It Was hs pressed In I.oncimao Altogether Uuconren tlonul. The deference of tho Kngllsh roynl family to the opinions of their (ienuuu cousins wns never better lilt off tlniu by a story which comes from one of the royal household, who told it to the writer. When Lord Arctilbnlil Ctimpbell wus about to be engaged to Mlsx Janet Cut lender, whom ho eventually married, ho dutifully went to Ills father for his up provnl. "Delighted, I'm sure," said tho Duke of Argyll. "She Is In uvcry wuy desirable. Una money, good looks, brains, accomplishments. Hut er perhaps you hud better let me speak to Lome. He may think the Trlnce lias n right to bo consulted." Itecognlzlng the responsibility of having n roynl highness for n slster-ln lnw, Lord Archie "waited." Lord Lome, on belli); told of tho proposed nlllance, was agreeable to the young lady as fur as he was concerned, but thought it only right that the Princess should be consulted as to who Hliould enter the family. Now her royal high ucms In her frank, Impulsive way said: If Archlo likes her, she huUh mo down to the ground moisture will do for a country, slip your canoe from a b'lorlda sleniner Into tho Ocklawnha Itlver.

"Now," she said, "I must let you know how poor I am. Will you please tofetch me my box out of my room? I was only too glad to obey her.

"Not at all, not at all, my boy," he answered, "so that I get your company. You shall be skipper or helmsman, .or both, if you like." "Well, then, I replied, "you might take me over to the Havre Gosselln, to see how my patient's broken arm Is going on. It's a bore there being no resident med ical man there at this moment." The run over wns all that we could wish. The cockle-shell of a boat be longing to the yacht bore me to the foot of the ladder hanging down the rock at Havre Gosselln. A very few minutes took me to the top of the cliff, and thero lay the little thatched nest-like home of my patient. I hastened forward eagerly. All was client as I crossed the stony causeway of the yard. Not a face looked out from door or window. Mam'zelle's casement stood a little way open, and the breeze played with the curtains, flut tering them like banners In a procession, I dared not try to look in. The house door was ajar, and 1 approached it cau tiously, "Thank heaven I" I cried within myself as I gazed eagerly Into the cot tage. She was lying there upon the fern-bed, half asleep, her head fallen back upon the pillow, and the book she had been reading dropped from her hand. The whole Interior of the cottage formed a picture. The old furniture of oak, tho neutral tints of tho wall and celling, and the deep tone of hor green dress threw out Into strong relief the graceful shin ing bead and pale face. I suppose she became subtly conscious, as women always are, that somebody's eyes were fixed upon her, for elie awoke fully and looked up as I lingered on the door sill. "Oh, Dr. Martini" she cried, "I nm so glad I" "I am come to see how my work is go ing on," I said, "How is tho arm, first of nil?" I almost wished that mother Itenouf or Suzanne Tardlf had been at hand. But Miss Ollivier seemed perfectly composed, as much so as a child. She looked like one with her cropped hoad of hair, and frank, open face. My own momentary embarrassment passed away, Tho arm was going on all right, and so was moth er Itenouf's charge, the sprained ankle. jacket and hat. I lifted them out for her, and after them a pair of velvet slip pers, soiled, as If they had been through muddy roads. I did not utter a remark, Beneath these lay a handsome watch and chain, a fine diamond rlag and five sover eigns lying loose In the box. "That is all the money I have In the world," she said sadly. I laid the five sovereigns In her small white hand, and she turned them over, one after another, with a pitiful look on ber face. I felt polish enough to cry over tnem myself. "Dr. Martin," was her unexpected question after a Jong pause, "do you know what became of my hair?" "Why?" I asked, looking at her fin gers running through the short curls we had left her. "Because that ought to be sold for something," she said. "I am almost glad you had It cut off. My hairdresser told me once he would give fire guineas (or a bead of hair like mine, It was so long, and the color was uncommon, Five guineas would sot be half enough to pay you, though, I know." She spoke so simply and quietly that I did not attempt to remonstrate with her about her arfxlety to pay me.' "Tardlf has It," I said; "but of course be will give It you back again. Shall I sell It for you, mam'zelle?" "Oh, that Is Just what I could not ask you!" she exclaimed. "You see there Is no one to buy It here, and I hope It may be a long time before I go away. I don't know,' though; that depends upon wheth er I can dispose of my things. There Is my sealskin, It cost twenty-fire guineas last year, and It ought to be worth some thing. And my watch see what a nice one It is. I should like to sell them all, every one. Then I could stay hero as loag as the money lasted." "How much do you pay here?" I Inquir ed, for she had taken me so far into counsel that I felt justified In asking that question. "A pound a week," she answered, "A pound a week I" I repeated, In amazement. "Does Tardlf know that?" "I don't think ha does," she said, "When I had been here a week I gave Mrs. Tardlf a sovereign, thinking per haps she would give me a little out of It, I am not used to being poor, and I did not know how much I ought to pay. But she kept It all, and cams to me eysry j slowly. I hailed him, and he quickened his pace, his honest features lighting up at tne sight or me. "How do you find mam'zelle, doctor?' were his first eager words. "All right, I said; "going on famously. oarg is enough to cure any one and any thing of Itself, Tardlf. There is no nlr like It, I should not mind being a little in here myself. "Captain Carey Is Impatient to be gone," he continued. "He sent word by me mat you might be visiting every house In the island, you had been away so long. "Not so very long," I said, testily; "but 1 will Just run In and say good br. and then I want you lo walk with me to the cntr. I turned back for a last look and a last word. No chance of learning her secret now. The picture wus as perfect as when I had had the first glimpse of it, only her face had grown, If possible, more cnarming after my renewed scru tiny of It. "Shall I send you the hair?" asked Miss Ollivier. "To be sure," I answered. "I shall dispute of It to advantage, but I have not time to wait for It now," "And may I write n letter to you?' "Yes," was my reply. I was too pleas ed to express myself more eloquently. "Oood-by," she said; "you are a very goon uocior to me. "And friend?" I added. "And friend," she repeated, For the next few days I waited with somn impatience for Miss Ollivier's prom ised Utter. It came at last, and I put It into my pocket to read wnen I was alono why, I could scarcely have explained lo myself, It ran tbust "Dear Dr. Martin I hare no little commission to trouble you with. Tardlf tflls me it was quite a mistake, his moth er tuklus a sovereign from me each week. She does not understand English money; and he says I have paid quite sufficient to stay with them a wbolo year longer without paying any more. I aiq quite content about that now. Tardlf says, too, and clever, nud lias strong opinions of her own. All the same I think I must speak to tho Queen first" Which she did.
