If 1 believed you would ever think of me as you used to do Wore you saw her, well, I would keep troe to you. But Is there any hope of thatr "Let ns be frank with one another," I answered; "tell me, la there any one else whom you would marry If I released you from this promise, which was only siren, perhaps, to soothe my mother's last Lours 7". "Yes," answered Johanna, whilst Julia hid her face In hr hands, "she would tnarry my brother." Captain Carey! I fairly gasped for breath. Such an Idea had never once occurred to me, though I knew she had been spending most of her time with the Careys at the Vale, captain u,arey 10 marry! and to marry Julial To go and Ilre In our housel 1 was strucK aumo, red to your father.

I was as crestfallen. rj sne wUl make j,m a happy man." as amazed, almost as miserable as she he continued mockingly; "you are not had been. Yet I had no one to blame Jourseif married. I believe. Dr. Martin os she had. How could I blame her for preferring Captain Carey's love to my poor affections?" "Julia," I said, after a long silence, and speaking as calmly as I could, "do you love Captain Carey "That is not a fair question to a answered Johanna. "We have not been treacherous to you. I scarcely know how It has all come about. But my brother has never asked Julia If she loves him; for we wished to see you first, and hear how you felt about Olivia. You say you shall never love again as you love her, Set Julia free, then, finite five, to accept - uiy brother or reject him. Be generous, be yourself. Martin." ' "I will," I said; "my dear Julia, you are as free as air from all obligation to me. You have been very good and very true to me. If Captain Carey is as good and true to you, as I believe he will be, you will bo a very happy woman hap pier than you would ever be -with me." "And you will not make yourself un happy about It?" asked Julia, looking up. "Xo," I nnswered cheerfully; "I shall be a merry old bachelor, and visit you and Captain Carey, when we are all old folks. Nerer mind me, Julia; I never was good enough for you. I shall be rery glad to know that you are happy." Yet when I found myself la the street for 1 made my escape as soon as I could get away from them I felt as If ' ' " ping away rrom me. Jiy moiner ana Olivia were gone, and here was Ju la forsaking me. I did not grudge her the new happiness. There was neither jeal ousy1 nor envy In my feelings towaris my supplanter. But In some way I felt that I had lost a great deal since I en ' tered their drawing rtom two boars ago. CHAPTEIt XIX. I did not go straight home to our dull, gloomy bachelor dwelling plate, for I was not In the mood for an hour's solilo quy. I was passing by the house, chew ing the bitter cud of my reilections, an J turned in to see if any messages were waiting there. The footman told me a person had been with an urgent request that a doctor would go as soon ns pos sible to Xo. 10 Bellrluger street. I did not know the street, or what sort of a locality it was in. "What kind of a person called?" I ask ed. "A woman, sir; not a lady. On foot poorly dressed. She's been here before, anil Dr. I-owry has visited the case twice." "Very good," I said. Upon inquiry I fouud that the place was two miles away; and as our old friend Sinimcnj was still on the cab stand, I jumped Into his cab, and bade him drivo me as fast as he could. 1 wanted a sense of motion, and n change of scene. If I had been In Guernsey I should hare mounted Madam, and had another midnight ride round the island. This was a poor substitute for that; but the visit would serve to turn my thoughts from Julia, We turned at last Into a shabby street, recognizable even in the twilight of the scattered lamps as being a place for cheap lodging-houses. There was a light burning in the second-floor win dows of Xo. 10; but all the rest of the front was In darkness. I paid Simmons end dismissed him, saying I would walk home. By the time I turned to knock at the door, It was opened quietly from within. A woman stood in the door way; I could not see her face, for the candle she had brought with her wad on the table behind her; neither was there, light enough for her to distinguish mine. "Are you come from Dr. Lowry's?" nalrn.1 The voice sounded a familiar one, but I could not for the life of me recall whose it was. "Yes," I answered, "but I do not know the name of my patient here." "Dr. Mnrtln Dobree!" she exclaimed. I recollected her then as the person who hud been in search of Olivia. She had fallen back a few paces, and I could now see her face. It was doubtful, as If she hesitated to admit me. Was it possible I had come to attend Olivia's husband? "I don't know whatever to dol" she ejaculated; "he is very ill to-night, but I uuu . uttttn lie uu(,ii, iu JUU 1 uuu I think he would." "I am not anxious to attend him. I came hero simply becauso. my friend Is out of town. If ho wishes to see me I will see him, and do my best. It rests entirely with himself," "Will you wait hero n fow minutes," he asked, "while I see what he will doK She left mo In the dimly lighted hall. The. place was altogether sordid, imd dingy, and miserable. At last I heard her atop coming down the two flight of stairs, and I went to meet her. 1111:111111111 W-H-H-H l m 1 1 11 i : 1 1 ; ; 11 t ; i -h -i-h ui "He will see yoa.," she said, ejln nw herself with a steady gax of curi osity.

"I believe we are In some sort con nected. Dr. Martin Dobree," he said; i my half-sister, Kate Daltrcy, Is mar- Dobree 7" I took no notice whatever of his re mark, but passed on to formal Inquiries concerning his health. My close study of his malady helped me here. I could assist him to describe and loca'.lze his symptoms, and I soon found that the dis ease was in a very early stage. "You have a better grip of it lhan Lowry," he said. "I feel as If I were TEASIXU AXD made of glass, and you could looi through me. Can you cure me?" 1 'I will do my best,," I answered. 1 bo you all say," be muttered, "anJ the best is generally good for nothiug. aou see 1 care less aoout getting over it than my wife does. She Is very anxious for my recovery." iuur nue; i repeuieu in uuer aut- prise; "you are Itichard Foster, I be-, here?" Certainly," he replied "Does your wife know of your pres ent illness" I inquired. "To be sure," he answered; "let me introduce you to Mrs. Itichard Foster." The woman looked at me with flash- ing eyes anl a moekkikng smile, while Mr. 1' aster indulged himself with ex torting a long and plaintive mew from the poor cat on his knees. "I cannot understand," I said. I did uot know how to continue my speech Though they might choose to pass as husband and wife among strangers, they could hardly expect to impose upon me. "Ah! I see yon do not," said Mr. Fos ter, with a visible sneer. "Olivia Is dead. "Olivia dead!" I exclaimed. "You were not aware of it" he said. "I am afraid I have been too sudden. Kate tells us you were In lore with my urst wire, ana sacrmccd a most eligible match for her. Would it be too late to open fresh negotiations with your cous in? You see I know all your family his tory." "When did Olivia die?" I Inquired, though my tongue felt dry and parched, and the room, with bis fiendish face, was swimming giuuily before my eyes. "When was It, Carry" be asked, turn Ing to his wife. "We heard she was dead on the first 01 uctouer, sue answered. "You mar ried me the next day." "Ah, yes!" he said; "Olivia had been dead to mo for more than twelve months, and tho moment I was free I married ner, Lir. -Martin. It was quite legal." "But what proof have voti?" I nukoil still Incredulous, yet with a heart so heavy that it could hardly rouse Itself to nope. "Carry, you have those letters," said Itichard Foster. "Hero aro the proofs," said Mrs. Fos ter. She put Into my hand an ordinary cer tificate of death, signed by J, Jones, M. D. It stated that the deceased, Olivia Foster, had diod on September tbo 27th, of ncuto inflammation of thu lungs. Accompanying this was a letter written In a good handwriting, nurnort- Ing to be from n clergyman or minister. nho had attended Olivia In her fatal Ill ness. He said that she had desired him to keep the placo of her death and burial a secret, and to forward no more than the official certificate of the former event. This letter was signed 10. Jones. Xo clue was given by either document ns to tbo place where they were written. "Are you not satislied," asked Foster, "No," I replied; "bow Is It, If Olivia 1 1 Is dead, that you harp not taken posses sion of her property 7" "A skreiW question," he said Jeering ly. "Why am 1 lu these cursed poor talcing Why am I as poor as Job. when there are twenty thousand pounds of my wife's estate lying unclaimed J My sweet, angelic Olivia left no will, or none In uiy favor, yuu limy lie sure; mid by her father's will.

All she be queaths to lue Is this ring, which I gave to hr 011 our wedding day, oure her!'' He held out his hand, on the llttlo flnirr at which shone a dl.imoud, that might, as far as I knew, be the one I had once seen In Olivia s possession. "IVrhsjw you do not know," he con tinued, "that it was on this rery point, the making of her will, or securing her property to me in some way, that my wife took offense and ran away from 1110, Carry was just a little too hard upon her, and I was away In l'arls. But con sider, I expected to be left penniless. Just as you see me left, and Carry was determined to prevent It." "Then you aro sure of her death" I said. "So sure," be replied calmly, "that wo were married the next day. Olivia s let ter to me, as well as those papers, was conclusive of her Identity. Would you like to see 117 ' Mrs. Foster gave me a slip of paper. on which were written a few lines. The words looked faint, and grew fainter to my eyes as I read them. They were without doubt Olivia s writing. "I know that you are poor, and I send you all I cau spare the ring you once gave to mo. I am even poorer than yourself, but I haro just enough for my last necessities. There was no more to bo said or done. Conriction had been brought homo to me. I rose to take my leave, and Foster held out hts hand to me, perhaps with a kind ly Intention. Olivia's ring was glittering on it, and I could not take it Into mlno. "Well, well!" he said. "I understand; I am sorry for you. Come again, Dr. Martlu Dobree. If you know of any remedy for my case, you are no true man if you do not try it." I went down tho narrow staircase, TOUME.NIXO. closely followed by Mrs. Foster. II r face-tad lost its gaiety and bolJnc'ss, and .looked womanly und care-worn, as she laid her hand upon my arm before optn' Ing the house-door. -for heaven's sake, come again," she said, "if you can do anything for him. We hare money left yet, and I am earn- ing more every ilay. We can pay you well. Promise me yon will come again." "I can promise nothing to night," I an- swered "You shall not go till you promise," she salil emphatically. "Well, then, I promise," I answered, and she unfastened the chain almost noiselessly, and opened the door Into tie street CHAPTEIl XX. I reached home Just as Jack was com. ing In from his evening amusement. He let me in with bis latch-key, giving me a cheery greeting; but as soon as we had entered the dining-room, and he saw my iace, ne exciaimeu, "uooa neavens! Mar tin, what has happened to you" "Olivia is dead!" I answered. HU arm was about my neck In a mo ment, for we were like boys togctlier still, when we were alone. He knew alt about Olivia, and bo waited patiently till I could put my tidings Into words. "It must be true," he said, though in a doubtful tone; "the. scoundrel would not have married again If he had not suill- clent proof." "She must have died Tery soon after my mother," I answered, "and I never knew in "It s strange!" he said. "I wonder she never got anybody to write to you or Tardlf." There was no way of accounting for mat strange silence toward us. We sat talking In short, broken sentences; but we could come to no conclusion about It. It was late when we parted, and I went to bed, but not to sleep. Upon going downstairs in the mornin? I found that Jack was already off, hav ng left a short note for me, saying he would visit my patients that day. I had scarce ly begun breakfast when tho servant an nounced "a lady," and as the lady fol lowed close upon his heels, I saw behind his shoulder the familiar face of Johan na, looking, extremely grave. She was soon seated beside me, watching me with something of the tender, wistful gaze of my mother. "Your friend, Dr. John Senior, cahed upon us a short tlmo since," sha said. "and told us this sad, sad news." I nodded silently, "If we had only known It yesterdav. ." sho continued, "you would never have heard what we then said. This makes so vast a difference. Julia could not have become your wife while there was an other woman living whom you loved more. You understand her feeling" "Yes," I said; "Julia is right." "My brother and I havo been talking about tbo change this will make," she resumed. "He would not rob you of any consolation or of any future happiness; not for worlds. He relinquishes all claim to r hope of Julia's affection " "That would be unjust to Julia," I ! tcrrupted. "Shf must not be .trrlnced to me imy lotiier.
