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."
Here was a capital opeulng for a ques
tlon about her friends.

"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.

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

dutifully went to Ills father for his up

Duke of Argyll. "She Is In uvcry wuy

lady as fur as he was concerned, but
thought it only right that the Princess
should be consulted as to who Hliould

eagerly,
"I'll see about it," I said. "Should you
mind where you sailed to?"
"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

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
