"My object is to combine with her

"I really cannot give you any informa­

them.”

is not a pleasant cir< utustance to occur
in a family. Of course, if you could
give us an ydefinite information it would
be quite another thing. The young lady’s
family is highly connected. Have you
seen any one answering to the descrip­
tion?”
.
"It is a very common one. I answered.
"I have seen scores of young ia-lies who

in London you could not trace her. Did

Mr. Brown disappeared for a few min­

the conversation. There was not much

we were only fencing with one another.
I learned nothing about Olivia's friends,
and 1 was satisfied be had learned noth­

that remained before the train started
for Southampton.
"Doctor,” said Simmons, as Jack paid
him his fare, with a small coin added to
it, "I’m half afcared I’ve done some mis­
chief. I've been turning it over and over
in my head, and can't exactly see the
rights of it. A gent, with a pen behind

Gray’s Inn Road, and takes my number.
But after that he says a civil thing or

says I. ‘Young doctors?' he says. 'You're
right,’ I says. 'I guessed so,’ he says;
‘and pretty well up the tree, eh?' 'Ay,'
I says; ‘the light-haired gent is son to
Dr. Senior, the great pheeseecian; nnl
the other he comes from Guernsey, which
is an island in the s»*a.’ ‘Just so, he
says; 'I've heard as much.’ 1 hope I’ve
