Tardlf," I said, "did she leave no message for me?" "She wrote n letter for you," he said. "the very last thing. She did not go to Iuipoisible!" I cried, stung to the quick by these words. I remembered my mothers mild, instinctive dislike to Kate Daltrey, and her harmless hope that I would not go over to her side. Go orer to her side! No. If she set her foot into this house as my mother's successor, I would never dwell under the same roof. As soon as my father made ber his wife I would cut myself adrift from them both. uut be knew that; he would never ven ture to outrage my mother's memory or my feelings in such a flagrant manner.

Couldn't you take out n commission of lunacy against him? He must be mad to think of such a thing." now aid you find It out?" I Inquired. "Oh, I was so ashamed!" she said.

If 1 only know that she was safe, and as happy ns her sad destiny could let her be, I would be com teut. Thus I was thrown entirely upon my profession for Interest and occupation. I gave myself up to it with an energy that nmaxed Jack, and sometimes surprised myself. Dr. Senior, wbo as an old vet eran loved it with ardor for its own sake, was delighted wltb my enthusiasm.

Jack was hospitably anxious for them to come to our own house, but I know they would not listen to such a proposal. I found some suitable rooms for them, however. where I could be with them nt any time in fire minutes. On the appointed day I met them at Waterloo station, and in stalled them in their new apartments. It struck me that Julia was looking better and happier than I had seen her look for a long time. Her black dress suited her, and gave her a style whlib she never had in colors. Her complex ion looked dark, but not sallow; and ber brown hair was certainly more becom ingly arranged. Her appeoranco was that of a well-bred, cultivated, almost elegant woman, of whom no man uced be ashamed. Johanna was simply her self, without the least perceptible change. Uut Captain Carey again looked ten years younger, and was evidently taking pains with his appearance. I was more than satisfied, I was proud of all my friends.

The tourists were coming up In greater numbers, and I made a "retreat hastily towards a quiet and re mote part of the cliffs seldom visited in Little Sark. ' There, with the sea, which had carried her away from me, playing buoyantly amongst the rocks, I read ber farewell letter. It ran thus: jiy uoar rrieaa i am glad l can call you my friend, though nothing can ever come of our friendship nothing, for we may not see one another as other friends do. I am compelled to flee away again from this quiet, peaceful home, where you and Tardlf hive been so good to me. I began to feel perfectly safe here, and all at once the refuge falls me. It breaks my heart, but I must go, and my only gladness is that It will be good for you. By and by you will forget me, and return to your cousin Julia, nuJ be nappy just as you once thought vou should be as you would have been but for me. You must think of me as one dead. I am quite dead lost to you. "Good-by, my dear friend; good-by. good-by! OLIVIA." The last line was written In a sboktn, Irregular hand, and ber name was half blotted out, as If a tear bad fallen upon it. i remained there alone on tbe wiU anu solitary cults until It was time to return to the steamer. Tardlf was waiting for mc at tho cn trance of the little tunnel through which the road passes down to tbe harbor. He did not apeak at first, but he drew out of his po.-ket an old leather pouch filled with yellow papers. Amongst them lay a long curling tress of shining hair. He touched it gently as If It had feeling and consciousness. "You would like to have It, doctor?" he aid. "Ay," I answered, and that only,' I could not Tcnture upon another word. CHAPTEIt XVII. Three months passed slowly away af ter my mother's death. Dr. Dobree, who was utterly Inconsolable thu first few weeks, fell Into all his, old maunderlnir. philandering ways again, spending hours upon nis toilet, and paying devoted at' tentiens to every passable woman who came across his path. My tcmoer crow like touchwood; tbe least spark would set It a maze, l could not take such things in good part.

But It seems as If I wero doomed to bs deceived and disap pointed on every hand I who would not deceive or disappoint anybody In thed worl. I doclare It makes mo quite 111 to think of li.'

I could not got out of the room ngaln as if I had not seen, for I cried, 'Oh!' at the first sight of them. Then I stood staring at them; but I think they felt as uncomfortable as I did."

"I know It," she replied, with tears In her eyes, "and I thought it was nothing but prejudice. It was my fault, brinilnir her to Guernsey. But I could not bear the Idea of her coming as mistress here. I said so distinctly. 'Dr, Dobree,' I said, 'you must let me remind tou that tha house is mine, though you hare paid me. no rent for years. If you ever take Kate" Daltrey Into It, I will put my affairs Into a notary s nands. I will, upon my word, and Julia Dobree never broke her word yet.' That brought him to his senses tetter than anything. He turned very pale, and sat down beside Kate, hardly knowing what to say. Then she began. Sho said If I was cruel, she would bo cruel, too. Whatever grieved you, Mar tin, would grieve me, and she would let her brother, Itlchard Foster, know where Olivia was." "Does she know where she is?" I askej eagerly, in a tumult of surprise nnd hope. "Why, in Sark, of course," she replied. "What! Did you never know that Olivia left Sark before my mothes death?" I said, wjth a chl.I of disap pointment. "Did I never tell you she was gone, nobody knows where?" "You have never spoken of her In my hearing, except once you recol.'ect whtn, Martin? We have supposed she was still living iu Tardifs house. Then there is nothing to prevent we from carrying out my threat. Kate Daltrey shall never enter this home as mistress." "Would you have gl.ea It up for Olivia's sake?" I asked, marveling nt her generosity. "I should have done It for your sake," she answered frankly. "But," I said, reverting to our origins! topic, "If my father has set his mind upon marrying Kate Daltrey, he will brave anything." "He is a dotard," replied Julia. "He positively makes me dread growing old. Wbo, knows what follies one may be guil ty of In old age! I never felt afraid of held Julia's hand tho longest, looking Into her face earnestly, till It Hushed anl glowed a little under my scrutiny. "Truo heart!" I said to myself, "true nnd constant! and I bare nothing, and shall hare nothing, to offr ll but tlio ashes of a dead lore. Would to heaven." I thought as I paced along Brook strvet, "I had never been fated to see Olivia.1" I was punctual to my time the next day. I sat among them quiet and si lent, but revelling In this partial return of oldcu times. When Julia poured out my tea, and passed it to me with her white hand, I felt Inclined to kiss her jeweled fingers. If. Captain Carer had not been present I think I should have done so. We lingered over tbe pleasant meal. At tbe close Captain Carey announced that he was about to leave us nlono to gether for on hour or two. I went down to the door with him, for ho had mado me a mysterious signal to follow him. Iu tbe ball be whispered a few Incomprehen sible sentences Into my ear. "Don't think anything of me, my boy. Don't sacrifice yourself for me. I'm nn old fellow compared to you, though I'm not fifty yet; everybody in (juerntcy knows tbnt. So put me out of the ques tion, Martin. 'There's many a s.lp 'twlxt the cup and the Hp.' That I know quite well, my dear fellow." He was gone before I could ask for an explanation. I returned to tho drawing room, pondering over his words.
