Tbe Doctor’s fjllemraa

“ Martin Dobree!” ejaculated both In
ono breath.
“ Yes, mademoiselles,” I said, uncoiling
the tress of hair us if it hud been a ser­
pent, and going forward to greet them;
“ are you surprised to see me?”
"Surprised!" echoed the cider. “ No;
we are amazed—petrified! However did
you get here? When did you come?”
“ Quite easily,“ I replied. " I came on
Sunday, uud Tardlf f-tched me in his
own boat. I f the weather had permitted
I should have paid you a call; but you
kuow what it has been.”
“ T o be sure,” answered Emma; "and
how Is dear Julia? She will be very anx­
ious about you.”
"She was ou the verge of a nervous at­
tack when I left her," I said; “ that will
tend to increase her anxiety.”
"Poor, dear girl!” she replied sympa­
thetically. “ But, Martin, is this young
woman here so very ill? We have heard
from the Renonfs she had had a danger­
ous fall. To think of you being in Sark
ever since Sunday, and vve never heard
a word of it!”
“ Is that the young woman’s hair?”
“ Yes,” I replied; “ it was necessary to
cut it off. She is dangerously ill with
fever.”
Both of them shrank a little towards
the door. A s i Idcn temptation assailed
me, and too ; me so much by surprise
that I had yielded before I knew I was
attacked. It was their shrinking move­
ment that did it. My answer was almost
as automatic and involuntary as their
retreat.
“ You see it would not he wise for any
of us to go about,” I said.
“ A fever
breaking out in the island, especially now
you have no resident doctor, would he
very serious.”
Thus I secured isolation for myself and
my patient. But why hud I been eager
to do so? I cot»:i not answer that ques­
tion to myself, and I did not ponder over
It many minutes. I was impatient, yet
strangely reluctant, to look at the sick
girl again, after the loss of her beautiful
hair. The change in her uppearance
struck me as singular. Her face before
had a look of suffering and trouble, mak­
ing it almost old, charming as it was;
now she had the aspect of quite a young
girl, scarcely touching upon womanhood.
W e sat up again together that night,
Tardif and I. He would not smoke, lest
the scent of the tobacco should get in
through tlie crevices of the door, and les­
sen the girl's chance of sleep; but he held
his pipe between h*s teeth, taking an im­
aginary puff now and then, that he might
keep himself wide awake. W e talked to
one another in whispers.
“ Tell me all you kuow about mam’-
eelle,” I said, lie had been chary of his
knowledge before, but his heart seemed
open at this moment. Most hearts are
more open at midnight than at any other
hour.
“ There’s not much to tell, doctor,” he
answered. “ H er name is Ollivier, as I
said to you; but she does not think she
is any kin to the Olliviers of Guernsey.
She is poor, though she does not look as
if she had been born poor, does she?"
“ Not in the least degree,” I said. “ I f
she is not a lady by birth, she is one of
the first specimens of Nature’s gentle­
folks I have ever come across. Has she
written to any one since she came here?”
“ Not to a soul,” he answered eagerly.
“ She told me sho had no friends nearer
than Australia. That is a great wav

aoou recover her lost strength. I had to
stoop down to hear what she was saying.
"H a v e I kept quite still, doctor?” she
asked faintly.
I must own that my eyes smarted, and
my voice was not to be truatad. I had
never felt so overjoyed in my life as at
that moment. But what a singular wish
to be obedient possessed this girl! What
a wonderful power of submissive self-con-
trot 1
" I should like to see Tardif,” mur­
mured the girl to me that night, after she
had awakened from a second long and
peaceful sleep.
I called him and he came in barefoot,
his broad, burly frame seeming to fill up
all the little room. She conld not raise
her head, but her face was turned to­
wards us, and she held out her small
wasted band to him, smiling faintly. He
fell on his knees before he took It into his
great, horny palm, and looked down up­
on It as he held It very carefully with
tears standing in his eyes.
“ Why, it is like an egg shell,” he said.
“ God bless you, main’zelle, God bless you
for getting well again!”
She laughed at his words—a feeble
though merry laugh, like a child’s—and
she seemed delighted with the sight of
his hearty face, glowing as it was with
happiness. It was a strange chance that
had thrown these two together. I could
not allow T ardif to remain long; hut
ufter that she kept devising little mes­
sages to send to him through me when­
ever I was about to leave her. Her in­
tercourse with mother Renouf was ex
trrmcly limited, as the old woman’s
knowledge of English was slight.

My mother was lying on the sofa in the
breakfast room, with the Venetian blinds
down to darken the morning sunshine.
Her eyes were clofted, though she held
in her hands the prayer book, from which
she had been reading as usual the Psalms
for the day. Whilst I was looking at
her, though I made no sort of sound or
movement, she seemed to feel that I was
there; and after looking up she started

” H s has been living on Ttrdlffs coarse
fare for a week,” answered my mother;
“ so now he has compassion enough for
his $ark patient to pack up some dainties
for her. I f you could only give him one
or tiro of your bad headaches he would
have more sympathy for you.”
"H a v e you had one of your headaches,
Julia?’ I inquired.
"The worzt I ever had,” she answered.
“ It was partly your going off In that rash
way, and the storm that came on after,
and the fright we were in. You must
not think of going again, Martin,
shall take care you don't go after we are
married.”
Julia had been used to apeak out ai
calmly about our marriage as if It was
no more than going to a picnic. It grab
ed upon me just then; though it had been
much the same with myself. There was
no delightful agitation about the future
that lay before us. We were going to
set up housekeeping by ourselves, and
that was all. There was no mystery in
it; no problem to be solved; no discovery
to be made on either side. There would
be no Blue Beard's chamber in our dwell­
ing. W e had grown up together; now we
had agreed to grow old together. That
was the sum total of marriage to Julia
and me.
I finished packing the hamper, and
sent Pellet with It to the Sark office, hav
ing addressed It to Tardif, who had en
gaged to be down at the Creux Harbor
to receive it when the cutter returned.
I waa in haste to secure a parcel of
books before the cutter should start home
again, with its courageous little knot of
market people. I ran down to Barbet's.
I looked through the library shelves until
I hit upon two novels. Besides these, I
chose a book for Sunday reading.
Barbet brought half a sheet of an old
Times to form the first cover of my par­
cel. The shop was crowded with market
people, and as he was busy I undertook
to pack them myself. I was about to fold
the newspaper round them, when my eye
was caught by an advertisement at the
top of one of the columns. “ Strayed

only person who could talk or listen to
her through the long and dreary hours.
