He knew. also, that, to accomplish nis work,he.must be courageous and brave, so he turned away from his post of observation on deck, and sought the more lively saloon. . . Taking a book from one of line tames, tin affected to read.

Several days nassed in rather an un eventful way, brightened occasionally by a glimpse of the young girl, whoso name he found to be Ethel Kevergail, as she flitted out and in the state-room of her aunt, who seemed ill and restless. Dr. Elfenstein had not sought an introduction, as he knew the admiration he involuntarily felt, while she remained unknown, might ripen Into: a warmer feeling upon a closer friendship. Providence, however, had planned differently, and had decided that these two should be. at least, friendly. One rough and stormy day was draw ing to a close, when leaving the damp atmosphere of the deck, where he had passed a ample of hours watching the leaden sky and the storm-lashed waves. together with sea-guns mat snimmea over their surface, Dr. Elfenstein, in
passing to his state-room, was startled by a low cry of dismay coining from the room of Mrs. Kevergail, followed immediately by the pale, frightened face of her niece, who, on seeing him so near, exclaimed: "Oh, sir, something dreadful Is the matter with my aunt. Do you think there is a physician oa board?" "I am one myself. My name is Elfenstein, of New York. Shafi I see her?" "If yoq will be so kind." Stepping inside, our young friend advanced immediately to the berth, where he found Mrs. Nevergail in a fainting condition, caused by extreme exhausWith the greatest sympathy, the Doc-

"Your aunt Is bettor now, and I think immediate danger has passed. But 1 will not deceive you; her case is beyond human skill to euro." I know it. Doctor, and she also is well aware of her condition. My uncle died in Now York a few months ago. and in taking care of him sho contracted the cold that has ended in consumption. Our family physician, Dr. Munsey perhaps you know him as you also are from Now York thought sho might live to reach the only relativos wo have on earth, residing in Liverpool and vicinity. She was eager to roturn to her native land, in ordor that I might not bo left ontlroly alono after she is taken away. Do you think, Doctor, that she will survive until our passage is mado?" "I trust so. Good nursing often ac complishes more than medicines. Wo will do all wo can, and perhaps the good tiord will favor us with his blessing." I pray that he may. It would be ter rible to have lior die at sea, and I all alone with liernot a single friend near to aid me. " "Allow me to correct yon. Miss Nevergail, for you soo I know your name. You have ono, surely, 11 you win allow me to be such to you. Anything I can do, either as physician or friend, rest as sured shall be done." "Thank you. I shall accent your nroffered advice and friendship grateful ly. The thought thatl have one Kind friend on board this steamer, In this emergency, is tho greatest comfort." Our state-rooms are fortunately near each otlior. so any time, by night or day, that f can be of service, do not hesitate to inform me," said the Doctor, as he left the narrow quarters. "1 win stop in again, in ono hour, to see how she apnears on walcing." una afternoon as - isano was stanaing unon deck looking out upon the vast ocean, ho became conscious that a light stop had approached and halted quite near. It was Miss Nevergail. While hesitating to consider whether his presence would be acceptable to her, an exclamation of terror startled him, and glancing toward tno spot wnero sue stood, ho saw that sho was striving to teady herself, being dizzy worn a auuaen urch of the steamer.

Dr. Elfenstein found his young com panion an intelligent and brilliant con versationalist. Whore sho was not an awkward pause could ensue, and the fascination of her cultivated manners imperceptibly wove a feeling of intense admiration around his heart, of which he was ignorant, until too late to avert what, had ho realized tho mischief it would bring to future feelings, he would have made it a duty at onco to suppress.

Shortly after this I noticed a heavy, and at times neuralgic pain in one aids ot my head, but as It would corn ona day and be gone the next.

Yet even as a physician, I did not think that these things meant anything serious- I fnJj was surrering aunt uuuui myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next and that a persistent (roth and soum appeared on the surface, and a sediment settled.

The stamping machines at the Gov emment mints, embodying as they do all the best inventions obtainable, yet do not do their work with absolute perfection in every instance. Occasionally a silver dollar is turned out with a trifling defect, and then the coin generally causes more trouble, many times over, than it is worth. This imperfection ia a slight crack in the edge of the coin, which is likely to escape the notice o! anv ordinary scrutiny, bnt like the rift in the late of which the poet sings, it makes' the dollar's musio mate. The commonest way to test a silver coin to find out whether it is counterfeit or sot, is to drop it on a table or counter. If it has a clear ring it is supposed to be rood. Asa matter of fact some counterfeit coins now current, which are made of antimony and tin, have a sound almost identical with that of a real silver dollar. What makes this test still more uncertain is the fact that a real silver dollar with the little rift, sounds as if it were lead when dropped. The opening de stroys its jingle just as a crack ruins the melodiousness of a bell. When one of these defective dollars gets into circulation it spreads discord everywhere it goes. The child takes it to the oorner grocery lor some oreaa and is sent back without the food. Sometimes the man who has passed it refuses to take it baok, and then, likely enough, the man who thinks 'he has been swindled comes down to uommissioner Shield's office and wants to have the other person arrested. Mr. Shields has become an expert from having had so many cases of this kind, and on diseoverinr the crack in the dollar soon convinces his visitor tnat tne com u au right. New York Tribune.
