A DOCTOR’S MISSION
BY EMILY THORNTON
A u th o r of “ R oy R u s s e l l ' s J c l i , "
' G l e n » oy , ” " T u b F a s h i o n a b l e M o t h e r , ” E t c .
C H A P T E R I I I .—<Continued.)
A few days a fte r the prom enade on
deck l>r. E lfenstein was summoned by
M ias N evergail to atten d her aunt, who
w a s very 111, owing to the vioience of
th e storm . P ortioning out a sedative,
th e young physician turned to give it to
h is com panion, and in handing it, their
fingers met, and a t the touch his h eart
leaped so forcibly into a delightful thrill
th a t it caused an in stan t feeling of ques
tloning as to its cause.
T h eir passage across th e A tlantic was
an unusually propitious one. It w as with
relief to both the physician and anxious
niece as they saw the term ination of the
voyage, for in spite of their united ef­
fo rts, M rs. N evergail’a stren g th was ra p ­
idly departing.
I)r. E lfenstein had an unusually tender
and sym pathising heart. H e could not
see so young a girl in such trouble and
n o t in everything possible lend a help­
ing hand.
H e cared fo r her as a brother, and the
eloquent look of g ratitu d e th a t flashed
upon him, as, a fte r seeing them both
safely in the Liverpool home of their
cousin, M r. Rogers, E thel placed her
h an d in his, a t p arting, and faltered out
h e r thanks, as he bade her f ...rewell, nev­
e r expecting to see her m ore, w as a re­
w ard not soon to bo forgotten.
A fter leaving his fellow voyagers, our
hero lost no tim e in pursuing his own
Journey. B efore a week had rolled by
h is way waa m ade perfectly plain, and
a p leasant home w as provided. H e found
by inquiring of Levi P erkins, the lan d ­
lord of the hotel w here he «topped, th a t
th e place had ju s t been excited, and al­
m o st stunned, by the sudcfen illness of
D r. Jennings, the only
physician for
m iles around. H e had been rendered
helpless three days before, by a paralytic
stro k e, and as all feared, would never
ag ain be able to attend to his profes
sional duties.
In stan tly , on h earing this news, the
young m an had visited the house of the
old gentlem an, and show ing his letters of
recom m endation, and his w ritten creden­
tials, he had offered to atten d to the sick
in his place, which offer was accepted,
and in a few days the stran g er had all
th e calls for medical advice th a t he could
atten d , and the result was th a t he bought
th e practice of th e old and w orn out m an,
and becam e his accepted successor. Dr.
Jen n in g s lived only tw o days a fte r Elfen-
• te in ’s arriv al, fo r a third severe shock
laid him a t re st from his earth ly labors
forever.
T he funeral w as a large one, and a fte r
th e day, with its m any excitem ents, hail
a sued, D r. E lfenstein again visited the
ouae where the dead had so recently
lain, and asking to see the daughter, M rs.
S tew art, he offered to rent the cottage
fu rn ish ed for a year, provided Mrs. Cluin
w ould rem ain in it, as form erly, in the
cap acity of housekeeper.
T h is offer relieved Mrs. S tew art of
w h a t had been an anxiety, and as M rs.
C luin was delighted to still retain her
liome, nil due arran g em ents were im m e­
d iately made.-^papers draw n up and sign­
ed, and one week from the day of his a r ­
riv al we find “ E arle E lfenstein, M. D .,"
upon a sign, betid e th e door of the p re t­
tie st cottage in the place, and th a t young
disciple of Q alen busy night and day a t­
tending to th e large practice so suddenly
throw n upon his hands.
C H A P T E R IV.
Sir R eginald G lendenning w as out of
hum or one sunny m orning in May. T he
daily mail had been handed him, as usu­
al, ju st as he had commenced his b reak ­
fa st, and one letter th a t he had then
received had discomposed and m ade him
surly and violent.
“ W hat luck is th is? ” he m uttered.
" A fte r my not going to the funeral of
my sister, and thus, by * my absence,
show ing th a t I had not overlooked her
plebeian m arriage, to think th a t these
people have forw arded such a letter as
th is to me Is absurd I I do not care if it
w as w ritten by her before her death.
T h ey m ight have known I did not wish
It. T ak e charge of her husband’s niece,
forsooth! She may go to the alm shouse
fo r all me! I will not have a thing to
do with her.
So saying, S ir Reginald turned to his
library, tossed the offensive letter into a
d ra w e r of his bookcase, locked it, and
puttin g the key in his pocket, rang the
bell furiously for a w aiter, ordering him
to have the groom bring to the door a
oung horse nam ed T em pest a t once, as
e intended to ride. Springing upon the
back of the handsom e creature, Sir Regi­
nald Glendenning dashed aw ay, ju st as
hi« nephew, R obert, a young man about
tw en ty years of age, appeared upon the
d eserted piazza.
H e was in personal appearance very
tall, w ith a m agnificent figure, dark com­
plexion, handsom e features and large,
•peaking black eyes, while his whole air
portrayed the pride th a t he had so rich ­
ly inherited from his own im m ediate fam ­
ily.
“ Belle!" he exclaim ed, na hie sister, a
b eau tifu l b ru n ette, followed him. “ See
o u r w orthy relative dashing down the
carriag e way a t th a t breakneck speed.
Zounds! if I were to ride In th at savage
way he would rate me soundly for It for
th e next th ree days. I wonder w hat
new s th at letter could have contained to
In fu riate him as it did. Do you know, he
is slw aya terribly provoked when he
rides like th a t."
“ 1 do not, n eith er does A unt Con­
stan ce. I should like to read it though,
would not you?"
“ Yea; I w onder where he p ut It?"
" In the d raw er o f hia bookcase, w here
b e keeps letters not answered. I wish
I could unlock It, b a t the key has gone
dow n th e carria g e way in the old gent’s
p o ck et," replied th e nnfillal girl.
"W ell, since you express a wish to see
ft. perh ap s I can aid yon. See! this key
look« as though It m ight fit any lock."
retu rn e d th e young m an, readily enough
fallin g Into th e auggeotlve mood of his
•later.
L aughing, th a young girl tam ed quick­
ly w ith him, and both glided
with
stealth y steps tow ards the library and
their uncle’s desk. T he key fitted; a fact
R obert well knew, aa it w as not the firat
tim e it had been tried by the unprin­
cipled nephew, and the following letter,
w ritten w ith a hand evidently feeble
from sickness, was eagerly read, then aa
quickly returned to its hiding place, and
the d raw er relocked, as they bad found
it.
On the envelope was w ritten, “T o be
sent to S ir Reginald Glendenning, B art.,
a fte r my death."
’Sir Reginald Glendenning:
“ My D ear B rother— You will d oubt­
less be surprised to receive this letter
from one who has been so m any years
separated from her fam ily, in conse­
quence of having m arried, secretly, the
m an of her choice. Allow me m erely to
say th a t when you read this, the Bister
th a t you once loved will have passed
aw ay, and, therefore, she tru sts th a t all
hard feelings th a t her m arriage m ay have
occasioned will be buried forever. B roth­
er, I w rite to you now in order to crave
a favor at your hands. My only child
died in infancy, and ju st tw enty and a
half years ago, I, with the consent of
tny husband, took charge of a little girl
of gentle blood and some pleasant fu tu re
prospects, and gave her the love of a
tru e m other. On her tw enty-first b irth ­
day she will be a t liberty to open certain
docum ents laid aside for her, and then
will come into possession of her own
property, for some little aw aits her m a­
jority. U ntil then, a fter my death, she
will be friendless and alone. Now, I ask
if you will care for her until th a t date,
O ctober fifth is reached? Can she not
be in some way of service to you, and
thus com pensate for her board and tro u ­
ble? Do this for me, my d ear brother,
and be kind and care for my beloved
E thel, and my dying g ratitu d e will be
yours.
“ Y our affectionate sister,
“G E R T R U D E ."
“O f all Im pudent proposals, th a t is the
clim ax!" ejaculated Belle, indignantly.
“T a k a her into hia own fam ily, indeed!
T he m inx don’t come here, if I can help
it. She la no earth ly relation to him !"
“ Y our opinion will not be asked, sister
m ine," returned her com panion in evil
deeds; “ and you*must rem em ber th a t you
are supposed to know nothing of tha con­
tents of th a t latter. B ut do not be alarm ­
ed. O ur relativ e looked too m uch like a
th u n d er cloud to be cajoled into receiv­
ing her here."
Need we stop n o w , a fter relating such
a scene, to describe the wholly heartless
characters of these relations of L ady
C onstance G lendenning? Indulged from
infancy by tlieir own p arents as much
as by the L ady C onstance, whose whole
a ffe c tio n s had centered UDon
them , in
consequence of the cold m anner of her
moody, passionate husband tow ards h e r­
self, It Is not to be wondered a t th a t
they developed w ith each year selfish and
unam iable dispositions under her foolish­
ly fond sway.
As for L ady Constatace, her naturally
am iable disposition had grown hardened.
Life w ith her violent tem pered husband
had proved anything but pleasant, and as
she finally saw his ugly features of c h ar­
acter being im itated by these children
under her charge, she becam e morbidly
indifferent and cold to auch a degree th a t
her n earest relatives could scarcely rec­
ognize In the proud Lady Constance
G lendenning the once light-hearted and
gay young cousin, whose society was so
m uch sought in form er years by th e three
brothers before th eir fa th e r’s death, when
life had been so different for each. T his
m orning L ady C onstance felt unusually
dispirited.
H e r ap ath etic h eart had
been moved the night before by a singu­
larly vivid dream , in which she had m et
once m ore her never forgotten early lover,
and the face of Sir A rth u r had ap p ear­
ed in th a t m idnight hour w ith all the
realness of life, while she seemed to
hear him wail in despair:
“Oh, Constance, C onstance!"
S ta rtin g from th is dreary sleep, she
toased restlessly until morning, and then
a fte r rising, found th a t the im pression
made upon her mind had not in the least
vanished. She sank upon her knees, and
w eeping bitterly, m oaned:
“ Oh, A rth u r, why was I so un faith fu l
to thy precious m em ory? W hy did I
forget thee so soon, my own, my own?
W retched guilty woman th a t I have been
to wed for a title and inheritance, ao un­
feeling and heartless a m an as I, alas!
have done! Oh, heaven, forgive this, my
sin, and g ran t me peace w ith th y self
a fter my w eary life is ended!"
lx>ng and bitterly she th u s w restled
with her own heart, never stirrin g from
her lowly posture until she w as sudden­
ly aroused by a horrified scream from
lips she knew to be Belle’s, while a
stran g e call in tones of anguish for “A unt
C onstance" caused her to rise and open
th e door, w here she, too. w as sta rtled
to see the whole household assem bled in
the halls, and then the first knowledge
of some aw ful calam ity fell upon her
heart.
C H A P T E R V.
le a v in g S ir Reginald to hia wild ride
on th a t lovely M ay m orning, we will go
back a day or two In our atory, and again
seek Dr. E lfenstein.
In m any of his
visits, which were all professional, he
had, by dropping some leading word,
striven to discover the public mind in
regard to the m urder com m itted in th eir
m idst tw enty flva year« befora.
T o hia surprise, he m et everyw here a
decided reluctance to talk upon tha su b ­
ject, aa tha law had acquitted th a only
ons suspected, b u t the gloomy looks and
wiaa shakes of th e head he ao often met
told him wall th a t th a younger b ro th er
Fitxrojr was still held guilty In tha opin­
ions of the general maae of th e inhab­
itants.
S orry to i h th a t his friend w as »till
so hardly (konght of, E arl# E lfenstein
dropped the «abject. Ja m p in g into his
gig, ha drove aw ay to the village, resolv­
ed to go through the exteneive grounds

Glendenning H all lay next to hia own
cottage home, and stopping at the gate
lodge, he asked perm ission of the keeper
to drive around the premises.
T h is perm ission was easily gained, and
th e son of the gatekeeper, an intelligent
bey of fourteen, volunteered to ride with
him, to explain th e places on the route.
So clim bing to his side, Sandy began at
once to ch a tte r of all th a t came into hia
young head.
“ You are tihe new doctor, I know th at
