CHAPTER XIII.
In one ans tlui, rued to b stsnd
Itif tat til with ni after my bom return,
o Ilk wort tb day that followed th
on to tb othnr. Hut in another vn
tho day fld wlib awful wlftnpw, for
to were burrrlut u both, my iiiotbor
and ui. to a great gulf which would
oon, far too un, li Mwweu u.
Kverjr afternoon Julia cam to spend
an hour or two with my mother; tut her
arrival wa always formally announced,
and It wa an underatooJ thine that 1
ahould liiimeIUtly quit the room, to
avoid mevtiiiK bor. There wae an tl
onette In hvr rpsmtuit-nt which I wae
bound to otmerr.
I had not taken up any of nty old pa
tient acaln, for I wa detennlued that
verybody ahould fetd that my mlih-nc
at bom wa only temporary. Hut about
ten day after my return the following
note wa brought to me, directed In full
to Ir. Martin Dobre:
"A lady from England, who I only a
tleltor in Guerneey, will be much oblig
ed by Dr. Martin Dobreo raiting upon
her at Itoae Villa, Vaurert Road, fthtt
la iiifforlnt from a alight MUpoaitlon;
and knowing Dr. Bculor by nam and
reputation, alu would fel great coiifl
dene in the a ..II of Dr. Renlnr'a friend."
I wondi'rwl for an lustaot who the
atranger could b, and bow aiie knew the
Bonlor; but aa ther could be no an
awer to then querie without vieltlng
th lady, I reaolved to go. Itoa Villa
waa a home where the room were let to
Tleltor during the eon, and th Vau
vert Iload was a-arrely fit minute'
walk from our bou. Julia wa paying
ber dally viilt to my mother, and I wa
at a to for ometblng to do, o I went
at one.
1 found a very handsome, floe-looking
woman; dark, with balr and eyre a black
aa a gypay'e, and a clfir olive complexion
to match. Her forehead waa low, but
smooth and well shaped; and the lower
part of ber face, handsome a It was,
waa far more developed than th upper.
There wa not a trac of refinement
about ber feature; yet th coarscne of
them wa but slightly apparent a yet.
My new patient did not inspire me with
much sympathy; but she attracted my
curiosity, and interested me by the bold
style of her beauty.
"You (iuerusey people ar Tery at I IT
with strangers," she remarked, aa 1 est
opposite to her, regarding her with that
clomt observation which 1 permitted to a
doctor.
'Ho th world saya." I answered. "Of
coume I sm no good judgo, for w Guern
sey people believe ourselves a perfect
a any class of the human family."
"I hare been here a week," ah replied,
pouting her full crimson lips, "and have
not had a chance of speaking a wont, ex
cept to atranger like mysolf who don't
know a soul."
That, then, waa the caus of th little
Indisposition which had obtained mo the
honor of attending her. I Indulged my
suit in a mild sarcasm to that effect, but
It waa lost upon her. She gated at in
solemnly with her large black eyes, which
ahou Ilk beads.
"! am really ill," she aald, "but It haa
nothing to do with not seeing anybody,
though that'a dull. There's nothing for
me to do but take a bath in the moruing
and a drlv In the afternoon, and go to
bed very early. Good gracioua! it'a
enough to drive m mad!"
"Try Jersey," I suggested. I
"No, I'll not try Jersey," she said. "I
mean to innk my way here. Don't you
know anybody, doctor, that would take
pity on a poor atranger?
"I am aorry to aay no," I answered.
Nhe frowned at that and looked disap
pointed. I wa about to ask her how she
knew tho Senior, when she spoke again. 1
"Do you have many visitors come to
Guernsey Iste in the autumn, as late as
October?" ah Inquired.
"Not many," I answered; " a few may
arrive who Intend to winter here." I
"A dear young friend of mine camo'
her last autumn," she aald, "aioue, aa '
I am, and I ve been wondering ever alnce
l'v been her however she would get
along amongst such a set of stiff, formal,
tand-offlsh folka. She had not money
enough for a dash, or that would make a
difference, I suppose."
"Not th least," I replied, "if your
friend cam without any introduction."
"What a dreary winter ahe'd have!"
pursued my patient, with a tone of cxul
' tatlon. "Sli waa quite young, and a
pretty a picture. All the young men
would know her, I'll be bound, and you
amongst them, Dr. Martin. Any woman
who isn't a fright geta stared at enough
to be known again."
Could tbla woman know anything of
Olivia? I looked at her more earnestly
and critically. She waa not a persou 1
ahould Ilk Olivia to hav anything to
do with. A coarse, ill-bred, bold woman,
whose eyea met mine unabashed, and did
not blink, under my scrutiny. Could she
be Olivia'a step mother, , who had been
the ruin of her life?
"I'd bet a huudred to one you know
her," she said, laughing and showing all
her white teeth. "A girt like her couldn't
go about a little poky place like this with
out all the young men knowing her. Per
haps she left the island in the spring. I
have asked at all the drapers' ahops, but
nobody recollect her. I've very good
, new for her If I could find her a slim,
middle-sized girl, with a clear, fair skin
and grey eyea and hair of a bright
brown. Stay, I can show you her photo
graph." " She put Into my bauds an exquisite
portrait of Olivia, taken in . Florence
There waa an expression of quiet mourn
fulness In th face, which touched ma to
the cor of my heart. I could not put It
down and speak Indifferently about it.
My heart beat wildly, and I felt tempted
to run off with the treasure and return
no more to this woman,
i "Ah! you recognize her!" ah exclaim
d triumphantly.
"I never saw such a person in Guern
sey," I answered, looking steadily Into
ber face. A sullen and gloomy expres
sion came across it, and she snatched
the portrait out of my hand.
"You want to keep It ecret," she

her to find ber, and And br I will Bb

She crossed In Lb Southampton boat on
dreadfully atormy night last October
in only lady passenger and tb tttw

ber."
"I assur you I nerr ssw that girl
new," I replied Tsslvely. "What In
quirle hav you mad after hr?"
"I'v inquired her and thr and v
erywber," h aald. Tv don nothing
1m vr slue I cam. It 1 of great
Importance to her, aa wll a to sn, that
I should find hr. It's a vry anxious
thing when a girt Ilk that dlaappeara

you would do ber family a Try grat

"Why do you fix upon m?" I Inquired.
"Why did you not aeud for on of th
resident doctors? I left Guernsey om
time go."
"You wer her last winter," ah aid,
"and yon'r a young man, and would no
lle ber mor.",
''Thrr ar other young doctors In
Guernsey," I remarked.
"Ah, but you'v been In London," sh
answred, "and I know aomethiug of Dr.
Heulor. When you ar In a strange place
you catch at any chance of an acquaint
ance." "Come, be candid with me," I aald.
"Did not Messrs. Scott and Drown end
you bore?"
The cuddenne of my question took ber
off ber guard and startled ber. She hesi
tated, stammered, and finally denied It
with more than natural emphasis.
"I could take my oath I don't know
any such . person," ah answered. "I
don't know who you mean, or what yon
mean. All I want I quit honest. Ther
I fortune waiting for that poor girl,
and I want to take ber back to those who
tor her, and ar rady to forgive and
forget everything. I feel sure you know
something of ber. But nobody except me
and ber other friend have anything to
do with It."
"Well," I ald, rising to take my leave,
"all the Information I can giv you I
that I never aaw such a peraon Jier,
either last winter or since. It 1 quite
possible sh went on to Jersey, or to
Granville, when th storm waa over.
That she did not atay In Guernsey I am
quit sur."
I went away in a fever of anxiety, lhe
woman, who waa certaiuly not a lady,
had Inspired me with a repuguance that
I could not describe. Surely this person
could not be related to Olivia! I tried
to guesa in what relationship to her ahe
could poHxIhly stand. I felt more chafed
than I had ever don about Olivia'a ae
cret. I tried to satisfy myself with the
reflection that I had put Tardif on hla
guard, and that b would protect her.
But that did not set my mind at ease. I
never knew a mother yet who believed
that any other woman could nurse her
sick child as well aa heraelf ; and I could
not be persuaded that even Tardif would
shield Olivia from danger and trouble
aa I could, if I wer only allowed the
privilege. Yet my promise to Julia
bound me to hold no communication with
her.
I had strolled down some of the quieter
streets of the town whilst I was turning
this affair over in my mind, and now aa I
crossed the end of th Hue Haute, I
caught sight of Kate Daltrey turning
Into a milliner' shop. Ther waa every
reasonable probability that ahe would
not come out agalu soon, for I saw a bon
net reached out of tho window. If she
were gono to buy a bonnet she was safe
for half an hour, and Julia would be
alone. I had felt a atrong desire to ace
Julia ever since I returned home. My
mind was mail up on the spot. If I
found her iu a gentle mood ah would
release me from the promise she had ex
torted from me when she waa in tho
first heat of her anger and disappoint
ment. It was a chance worth trying. If
I wer free to declare to Olivia my love
for her, I should establish a claim upon
her full confidence, and we could laugh
at further difficulties. She was of age,
and therefor mistress of herself. Her
friendB, represented by this odious wom
an, could have no legal authority over
her .
I turned shortly up a side street and
walked as fast as I could towards the
house which was to have been our home.
lty a bold stroke I might reach Julia's
presence. I rang, and the maid who an
swered the bell opened wide eyes of as
tonishment at seeing me there. I passed
by quickly. -
"I wish to speak to Miss Dobree," I
said. "Is she in the drawing room?"
"Yes, sir," she answered, in a hesitat
ing tone.
I waited for nothing more, but knock
ed at the drawing' room door for myself,
and heard Julia call, "Gome in."
CIIArTER XIV.
Julia looked very much the same as she
had done that evening when I came ro
lnctantly to tell her that my heart was
not In her keeping, but belonged to an
other, She wore the sam kind of fresh,
light muslin dreas, with ribbons and lace
about it, and she sat near the window,
with a piece of needlework In her hands;
yet she was not sewing, and her hands
lay listlessly on her lap. A mingled feel
ing of sorrow, pity and shame prevented
me from advancing into the room. She
looked up to see who was standing in the
doorway, and my appearance there evi
dently alarmed and distressed her.
"Martin!" she cried. ;
"May I come in and speak to you, Ju
lia?" I asked.
"Ia my aunt worse?" she inquired hur
riedly. "Are you come to f etcb me to
her?"
"No, no, Julia," I said; "my mother ia
as well as usual, I hope. But surely you
will let me apeak to you after all this
time?"
"It ia not a long time," she answered,
"lias it not been long to you?" I asked
"It mciiii year to m, All life ha
changed for ine. I had no Idea then of
my mother' Illness."
."Nor I," she said, sighing deeply.
"If I bad known it," I continued, "all
this might not hav happened. Surely
th trouble I shall bar to bear moat
plead with you for met"
"Yes, Martin," sh answered; "jt 1
am ry orry for you."
Sh cam forward and offered m ber
band but without looking Into my face.
I ssw that ah bad been crying, for ber
eys war rd. In ton of formal po
liteness ah askd m If I would not sit
down. I considered It best to remain
standing, aa an Intimation that I ahould
not trouble htr with my prenc for
long. I had no tun to lose, lest Kat
Daltrey should com in, and It wa a
vary difficult subject to approach.
."W wr talking of yon to-day." ah
aaid at length, In a hurried and thick
vole. "Auot 1 In great sorrow about
you. It prey upon her day and night
that yon will b dreadfully alon when
ah I gon, and and Martin, ah wlab
to know bfor sh die that th girl in
Bark will bcom your wlf.
Tb word (truck Ilk a shot upon my
ar and brain. What! bad Julia and my
mother been arranging between them my
Happiness and Olivia'a aafety that very
afternoon ' Such generosity was Incred
ible. I could not believ I bad beard
aright. .
"Sh ha seen tb sirl" continued
Julia, In th sam husky ton, "and sh
is convinced sh I uo adventuress. Jo
hanna aays th same. They tell m It is
unreasonable and aelfisb In ro to doom
you to th dreadful loneliness I feel. If
Aunt Dobre asked m to pluck out my
right eye Just now, I could" not refuse.
It I something Ilk that, but I bar
promised to do it. I release you from
every promise you ever mad to me, Mar
tin." "Julia!" I cried, crossing tj her and
bending over ber with mor love and
admiration than I had ever felt before;
"thl is very noble, very generous."
"No," sh said, bursting Into tears; "I
am neither nobl nor generous. I do It
bee use I cannot help myself, with aunt'a
whit face looking so Imploringly at me.
I do not glv you up willingly to that elrl
In 8ark. I bop I ahall never ae her
or you for many, many year. Aunt says
you will have no rhanc of marrying her
till you are aettled in a practice some
where; but you ar free to ask her to be
your wife. Aunt wants you to have
somebody to lor yon and car for you
after ah la gone, aa I ahould bave done."
"But you are generous to consent to
it," I aaid again.
'No," ahe answered, wiping her eyea
and lifting up her bead; "I thought I waa
generous; I thought I wss a Christian,
but It Is not essy to be a Chriatlan when
one ia mor titled, and humbled, and
wounded. I am a great disappointment
to myself; quit aa great aa you are to
ro. I fancied myaelf very superior to
what I am. I hope you may not be dis
appointed inihalgirl ln Sark." , ,
Her hand waa lying on her lap, and 1
stooped down and kissed it. seeing on it
still the ring I bad given ber when we
were first engsged. She did not look at
in or bid me good-bye, and I went out
of th house, my veins tingling with
shame and gladness. I met Captain Carey
coming up the street, with a basket of
fin grapes in bis hand. He appeared
very much amased. i
"Why, Martin!" he exclaimed, "can
you have been to see Julia?" '
"lea," I answered.
"Reconciled?" he aald, arching hla eye
brows, which were atill dark and bushy,
though hla hair waa grlxsled.
'Not exactly, I replied, with a stiff
smile exceedingly difficult to force; "noth
ing of th sort Indeed. Captain, when
will you take me serosa to Sark?"
'Come, cornel none of that, Martin,"
he aald; "you're on honor, you know.
You are pledged to poor Julia not to visit
8a rk again."
"She has Just set me free," I answered;
and out of the fullness of my heart I told
him all that had just passed between us.
His eyes glistened, though a film came
across them which he had to wipe away.
"She ia a noble girl," be ejaculated; "a
fine, generous, noble girl. I really thought
ahe'd break her heart over you at first,
but sh will com round again now. We
will have a run over to Sark to-morrow."
I felt myself lifted into a third heaven
of delight all that evening. My mother
and I talked of no one but Olivia. The
present rapture so completely eclipsed the
coming Borrow that I forgot bow aoon it
would be upon me. I remember now that
my mother neither by word nor sign suf
fered me to be reminded -of her Illness.
Sh listened to my rhapsodies, smiling
with ber divine, pathetic smile. There
la do love, no love at all, Ilk that of a
mother!
Swiftly we ran across the next day,
with a soft wind drifting over the sea
and playing upon our faces, and a long
furrow lying in the wake of our boat.
It waa almost low tide when we reached
the Island. I found Tardlf'a house com
pletely deserted. The only sign of life
was a family of hens clucking about the
fold. -
The door was not fastened, and I en
tered, but there was nobody there. 1
atood in the middle of the kitchen and
called, but there was no answer. Olivia's
door was ajar, and I pushed it a little
more open. There lay books I .had lent
her on the table, and her velvet slippers
were on the floor, as it they had only
just been taken off. Very worn and brown
wer the little slippers, but they reas
sured me she had been wearing them a
short time ago.
I returned through the fold. All the
place seemed left to Itself. Tardlf'a
sheep were browsing along the cliffs, and
his cows were tethered here and there.
At last I caught sight of a head rising
from behind a crag, the rough shock
head of a boy, and I shouted to him,
making a trumpet with my hands.
"Where is neighbor Tardif?" I called.
"Down below there!" ha ahouted back
again, pointing downwards to the Havre
Gosseiin. I did not wait for any further
information, but darted off down the long,
steep gulley to the little strand, where
the pebbles were being lapped Inaily by
the ripple of the lowering tide. Tardif's
boat waa within a atone s throw, and t
saw Olivia sitting in the stern of it. I
ahouted again with a vehemence which
made them both start.
"Come back, Tardif," I cried, "and
take me with you!"
The boat was too far off for me to see
how my sudden appearance affected
Olivia. Did she turn white or red at the
sound of my voice? By the time it neared
the shore and I plunged in kuee-deep to
meet it, her face waa bright with smiles,
and ber bands were strct -hed 0nt to help
lue over the boat's side, .
If Tardif bad not lW '.here I should
bar kldfted tbem Lolh. A it was, I
tucked np my vet feet out of reach of her
dress and took an oar, unabl to utter a
word of the gladness I felt. ;
"Vli ar you going Vi" I asked, ad
dressing neither of them iu particular.
"Tardif was going to tnw uie past tb
entrance to the 0mlM Cave," answered
Olivia, "but w will put it off now. W
will return to th hore aud bear all your
adventure, Dr. Martin.- You com upon

TURKEY AND PARTRIDGE NESTS,
Owner of thTarkr ouo4 Ibcw fit
. tlasi an m Nt v..g&.
A peculiar and unprecedented friend
ship has been found to exist between a
turkey and a partridge near Monti
cello, N. Y. -. Herm Cooney, who re
sides on the shore of Silver lake, haa
a small flock of turkeys of which he
is justly proud. The queen of the Cock
is an especially fine specimen, and has
always proved a perfect domestic mod
el, but for a week past she bas been
acting strangely, leaving home In the
morning; and not returning until late In
the afternoon. Affairs grew gradually
worse and finally reached the climax
when she did not return borne at night
Mr. Cooney, noticing the absence of
bis prize turkey, organized a search
ing party composed of himself and rat-
rick Caller, and started out to search
the woods. The search had progressed
for some time when they discovered
the missing turkey and by Its side was
a large partridge. The two were cov
ering a large nest and seemed perfect
ly contented. They were scared off,
and thirteen partridge eggs and nearly
as many turkey eggs were found in the
nest
If the partnership between the turkey
and partridge continues to be agree
able, Mr. Cooney intends doing an ex
tensive business In partridge and tur
key raising next year.
That New Educational System.
The Speers system of Imparting use
ful knowledge to the young, as exem
plified In Chicago, is not a novel one.
With modifications, it is the same sys
tem used In training performing mon
keys and dogs. The learned pig gets
his education by the Speers method.
and so the system may justly claim to
be well grounded.
In the Speers system as prepared for
the little bipeds of Chicago, the teach
er points out on the Speers chart the
word "hop." Then the teacher hops and
"skip," and the teacher skips and the
children skip. If- the next word is
grin," they all grin. If It Is "wink"
they all wink. It is fun as well as
profit you see especially for the teach
er. When It reaches "flip-flap" and
"summersault" It becomes more so.
"What Is that word, George?" says
the fond Chicago father to bis bright
offspring. ; '
"Pronounce It for me. daddy," says
the bright offspring. ,1 -
' 'Reverse,' " replies daddy.
'Ah, I know," cries Master George.
and at once stands on bis head.
It certainly Is a nice system.
Thread Usedl In SnrRery.
The modern surgeon employs In his
work dozens of different kinds of
thread for sewing up cuts and wounds.
Among them are- kangaroo tendons,
horsehair, silk and very fine silver
wire. Many of these threads are In
tended to hold for h certain number of
dnys and then naturally break away
The short, tough tendons taken from
tho kangaroo, which are used for sew
ing severe wounds, will hold for about
four weeks before they break away.
Silk thread will remain much longer,
sometimes six months, while the fine
silver wire Is practically Indestructible.
With the entire outfit a surgeon is
able to select a thread that will last as
long as the wound takes to heal and
will then disappear completely. To
accommodate this assortment of
threads special varieties of needles
are required. Besides the needle
craned in different segments of a cir
cle, surgeons use needles shaped like
spears, Javelins and bayonet points.
Some are as long as bodkins, in a point
like a miniature knife blade. Others
have the sharpened end triangular.
"FhtholORnyrrh" Spells "Turner."
He walked up to the hotel register
and signed his name with a flourish,
"E. K. rhtholognyrrh."
"Look here. Turner." exclaimed the
clerk, who knew him well, "are they
hunting for you or wnatr nere ao
you get that outlandish name?"
"Get back, my boy. get back I You're
slow," replied Turner, airily, as he lit
a cigar; "that's my same old name writ-
fen In plain English and pronounced aa
usual lust 'Turner.' Ixok at it. Of
course I do it Just to get them all guess
ing. They wonder what nation I am
from; what my name Is. I can now
hear people talk about me all round.
It Is, as I said before. English spell
ing. 'Phth, there is the sound of 't
In 'phthisis'; 'olo,' there Is the 'ur' In
'Colonel;' 'gn,' there Is the V in 'gnat;
yrrh' Is the sound of 'er la 'myrrh.'
Now, If that doesn't spell 'Tucner' what
does It spell?"
liens Not Feeling Well. -Twelve
eggs sold by a Brooklyn
dairyman had ' among them five that
were decayed. The purchaser returned
them, saying that he wanted the prod
uct of healthy hens. "These," said the
purchaser, "must Save been laid when
the hens were not feeling well." ,
