Æ IK E N S IB E BV MRS. MARY J. HOLMES •f "B m Tht e«(IMi Or»kam " •• IcasM m C H A P T K R V II.— (Continued.) “ I f I could only take her something,” he Mid, glancing ruefully around hie of fice. “ Now, if she were Jessie, nuts and raisins might answer— bat she must not eat suck trash aa that,” and he set him self to think again, just as Guy Rem ington rode up, bearing in his hand a moat exquisite bouquet. ” 1 thought you might be going down to Honedsle, aa I knew you returned last night, so I brought these flowers for your patient with my compliments, or if you prefer I give them to you, and you can thus present them as if coming from yourself.” “ As if I would do that,” the doctor answered. “ Did you arrange It, or your gardener 7*’ he asked, and when Guy re plied that the merit of arrangmenti if merit there were, belonged to himself, lie began to deprecate his own awkward ness and want of tact. “ Here I have been cudgeling my head this half hour trying to think what I could take her as a peace offering, and could think of noth in g while you----- Well, you and I are different entirely. You know just what is proper— just what to say, and when to m y it— while t am a perfect bore.” Guy regarded hia friend attentirely, noticing that extra care had been bestow ed upon his toilet, that the collar was fresh from the laundry, and the new era rat tied in a most unexceptionable manner, instead of being twisted into a hard knot, with the ends looking as if they had been chewed. “ Doc,” he Mid, when his surrey was completed, “ how old are you— twenty- five or twenty-six T” - “ Twenty-fire— just your age— why?” aad the doctor looked with an expression so wholly innocent o f Guy's real meaning that the latter, instead of telling why, replied: “ O h ! nothing; only I was wondering if you would do to be my father. Agnes, I rerily believe, is more than half in lore with you ; but, on the whole, I would not like to be your son; so I guess you’d bet ter take someone younger— My Jessie. You are only eighteen years her senior." The doctor stared at him a maxed, and when he had finished Mid with the ut most candor: “ What has that to do with Madeline? I thought we were talking of her.” “ Innocent as the newly born babe,” was Guy's mental comment, aa he con gratulated himself on his larger and more varied experience. And truly Dr. Holbrook was as simple- hearted as a child, never dreaming of Guy’s meaning, or that any emotion mve a perfectly proper one had a lodgment In his breast as he drove down to Hone- dale, guarding carefully Guy’s bouquet, aad wishing he knew just what he ought to say when he presented it. I 'The perspiration was standing under Maddy’s hair, and when the doctor step ped acroM the threshold, and she knew he really was coming near her, it oosed out upon her forehead in big, round drops, while her cheeks glowed with a feverish h e tt Thinking he should get along with it better If he treated her just as he would Jessie, the doctor confronted her at once, and asked: “ How is my little patient to-day?” A faint scream broke from Maddy’s lips, and she involuntarily raised her hands to thrust the stranger away. This black-eyed, black-haired, thick-set man was not Dr. Holbrook, for he eras taller and more slight, while she had not been deceived in the dark brown eyes which, even while they seemed to be mocking her, had worn a strange fascination for the maiden of fourteen and a half. The doctor fancied her deliridus again, and this reassured him at once. Dropping the bouquet upon the bed. he clasped one of her hands in his, and without the slightest idea that she comprehended him, Mid, soothingly: “ Poor child, are you afraid of me— the doctor. Dr. Holbrook ?” Maddy did not try to withdraw her hand, but raising her eyes, swimming In tears, to his face, she stammered out: “ What does It mean, and where is he — the one who— asked me— those dread ful questions? I thought that was Dr. Holbrook.” Here was a dilemma— something for which the doctor was not prepared, and with a feeling that he would not be tray Guy, he M id: “ N o ; that was someone else— a friend of mine— but I was there in the back office. Don’ t you remember me? Please don’t ' grow excited. Compose yourself, and I will explain all by and by.” Maddy was diMppointed, and it took her some time to rally sufficiently to con vince the doctor that she was not flighty, as be termed i t ; but composing herself at last, she answered all his questions, and then, as he m w her eyes wandering to ward the bouquet, he suddenly remember ed that it was no* yet presented, and placing; It in her hands, he M id : “ You like flowers, I know, and these are for you. I ----- ” “ O h! thank you, thank you, doctor; I am so glad. I love them so much, and you are so kind. What made you think to bring them? I wanted flowers so badly; but I could not have them, be cause I anas sick and did not work in the garden. It was so good in you,” and In her delight Maddy's tears dropped upon the fair blossoms For a moment the doctor was sorely tempted to keep the credit thus enthu siastically given; but he was too truth ful for that, aad so watching her aa her eyes glistened with pleasure, he M id: “ I am glad you like them. Miss Clyde, and so «rill Mr. Remington be. He sent them to you from his conservatory.” “ Not Mr. Remington from Aikenside— net Jessie’s brother?” and Maddy’s eyes now fairly danced as they sought the doctor’s face. “ T<?, Jessie’s brother. He came' here with her. He is Interested in you, and brought them down this morning.” “ He wished me to present them with his compliments. He thought they might please you." < , “ Oh ! they do, they da !" Maddy replied. “ They almost make me well. Tell him how much I thank him. and like him, too, though I never m w him.” The doctor opened his lips to tell her she had seen him, but changed his mind ere the words were uttered. She might not think as well of Guy, he thought, and there was no harm in keeping it back. So Maddy had no suspicion that the face she thought of so much belonged to Guy Remington. She had never seen him, of course, but she hoped she would some time, so as to thank him for his gen erosity to her grandfather and his kind ness to herself. Then, as she remem bered the mesMge she had sent him. she began to think that it sounded too fa miliar, and Mid to the doctor: “ I f you please, don’t tell Mr. Rem ington that I Mid I liked him— only that I thank him. He would think it queer for a poor girl like me to send such word to him. He is very rich, and handsome, and splendid, isn’t he?” “ Yes, Guy’s rich and handsome, and everybody likes him. We were in col lege together.” “ You were?” Maddy exclaimed. “ Then you know him well, and Jessie, and you’ ve been to Aikenside often? There’s nothing in the world I want so much as to go to Aikenside. They M y it is so beautiful.” “ Maybe I ’ll carry you up there some day when you are strong enough to ride,” the doctor answered, thinking of his light buggy at home, and wondering he had not used it more, instead of always riding on horseback. Dr. Holbrook looked much older than he was, and to Maddy he seemed quite fatherly, «0 that the idea of riding with him, aside from the honor It might be to her, struck her much as riding with Farmer Green would have done. The doctor, too, imagined that his proposition was prompted solely from disinterested motives, but he found himself wondering how long it would be before Maddy would be able to ride a little distance, just over the hill and back. He was tiring her .all out talking to her; but somehow it was very delightful there in that sick room, with the summer sunshine stealing through the window and failing upon the soft reddish-brown head resting on the pillows. Once he fixed those pillows, ar ranging them so nicely that grandma, who had come in from her hens and yeast cakes, declared "he was aa handy as a woman,” and after receiving a few genera] directions with regard to the fu ture, “ guessed, if he wasn’t in a hurry, she’d leave him with Maddy a spell, as there were a few chorea she must do.” The Aikenside carriage was standing at Mrs. Conner’s gate when he returned, and Jessie came running out to meet him, followed by Guy. while Agnes, in the most becoming riding habit, M t by the window, looking as unconcerned at his arrival as If it were not the very event for which she had been impatiently wait ing. Jessie was a great pet with the doctor, and,, lifting her lightly in his arms, he kissed her forehead and M id: “ I have seen Maddy Clyde. She asked for you, and why you do not come to see her, as you promised.” “ Mother won’ t let me,” Jessie answer ed. “ She says they are not fit associates for a Remington.” There was a sudden flash o f contempt on the doctor’s face, and a gleam of wrath in Agnes’ eye as she motioned Jessie to be silent, and then gracefully received the doctor. Guy seized the first favorable opportunity to inquire after Madeline. She was improving rapidly, the doctor M id , adding : “ You ought to have seen her delight when I gave her your bou quet.” “ Indeed.” and Agnes bridled haught ily, “ I did not know that Guy was in the habit of sending bouquets to such as this Clyde girl. I really must report him to Miss Atherstone.” Guy’s seat was very near to Agnes, and while a cloud overspread his fine features, he M id to her in an aside : “ Please M y in your report that the worst thing about this Clyde girl is that she aspires to be a teacher, and pomibly a governess.” There was an emphasis on the last Word which silenced Agnes and set her to beating her French gaiter on the car pet; while Guy, turning back to the doc tor, replied to his remark : “ She was pieaaed, then?” “ Yes; she must be vastly fond of flow ers, though I sometimes fancied that the fact of being noticed by you afforded al most as mucK satisfaction as the bouquet itself. She evidently regards you as a superior being, and Aikenside as a second Paradise, and asking innumerable ques tions about you and Jessie, too.” “ Did she honor me with an inquiry?” Agnes asked. MrcAstically, though she was greatly interested as well as reliev ed by the reply : “ Yes ; she M id she beard Jessie’s moth er was a beautiful woman, and asked if you were not born in England.” “ She’s mixed me up with Lucy. Guy, you must go down and enlighten her,” Agnes Mid, laughing merrily and appear ing more at ease than she had since Maddy Clyde had been the subject of tion. Guy did not go down to Honedale— but fruit and flowers found their way to the old red cottage, always brought by Gay’s man, Duncan, and always accom panied by Mr. Remington's compliments. Once, hidden among the rosebuds, was a childish note from Jessie, some of it printed and some of It in the uneven hand of a child just commencing to writer It was as follows T “ Dear Maddy— I think that Is such a pretty name, and so does Guy, so does the doctor, too. I want to come see you. bat mamma won't let me. I think of you ever so much, and so does Guy, I them,” Maddy suggested, hat the doctor guess, for he sends you lota of things, d a y is a nice brother, and Is yiistetel that ft was Ouy. old aa mamma. Ain’ t that funny? You know my first ma is dead. The doctor tells us about you when he comes to Aikenside. I wish he’d come oftener, for I love him a bushel— don’t you? Yonra respectfully, J E S S IE A G N ES R E M IN G T O N . “ P. S.— I am going to tuck this in ju v for fun, right among the buds, where you must look for it." 'litis note Maddy read and reread until she knew it by heart, particularly the l* r t relating to Guy. Hitherto aha had not particularly liked her name, greatly preferring that it should have been EH m Ann, or Sarah Jane; buf the knowing that Guy Remington fancied it made a vast difference and did much toward re conciling her. She did not even notice the clauM, “ and the doctor, too.” Hia attentions and likings she took aa a Blat ter of course, so quietly and so con stantly bad they been given. The day was very long now which did not bring him to the cottage; but she missed him much as she would have missed her broth er, if she had one, though her pulse al ways quickened and her cheeks glowed when she heard him at the gate. The motive power did not lie deeper than a great friendliness for one who had been instrumental in Mving her life. They had talked over the matter of her examina tion, the doctor blaming himself more than waa necessary for his ignorance as to what was required of a teacher; but when she naked who was his proxy, ha had again answered, evasively: “ A friend from Boston.” And this he did to shield Gay, who he knew was enshrined in the little maiden’s heart as a paragon of all excellence.
