A. few weeks passod on without bringing to Ethel the slightest occasion for a regretful sigh that she had changed her home and occupation; and whenever she paused to reflect upon the disagreeable duties required of her by Sir Reginald, the more ahe shnddurd at the baroaremetabrsnce. But, while filled with Indignation at the brutal manner in which ho had received the communication of the accident that had so strangely befallen her, and the abruptness of her dismissal, she longed to know whether he had recovered from the effects of his ungovernable rage, and also whether the missing animal had been found and restored. Of course she dared question no one about it, and her only resource was to the village daily paper, which she read with eagerness, but no reference was ever made to the subject Occasionally, Dr. Elfensteln called to see I ady Claire, but the bare Inquiry after the baronet's condition was all she felt at liberty to make. The reply ever was that Sir Eegin aid's nervous system was in such a terrible state that it was impossible for him to Improve as yet The manner of the Doctor toward herself she thoufclit constrained and reserved, and this gave her intense pain. She feared that he did not approve of her course, and Imagined, fiom his quiet appearance, that her refusal to acquaint him with the nature of her fault might cause him to magnify the error into a positive crime. Little did the poor girt know that his coldness was assumed, merely, to hide the real state of his a Sections, in order to attend to the sacred duty which he had undertaken. That duty he had by no means forgotten. He had looked up, after many difficulties, papers of a remote date that had published the entire trial of Fitzroy Olendenning, and had noted the fact that the valet, Antolne Duval, had testified against him by relating his unfortunate words, spoken in a moment of Intense excitement . The thought had then occurred to him that this Antolne might be implicated in the deed of darkness that had so immediately followed. ' . . Irately, his whole spare tiuie had been occupied in trying-to trace out the movements and whereabouts of this man. ' For some ttme all that he could discover was that he had remained in Sir Reginald's employment about ayearaf tor the murder, and then had suddenly left the place and departed to some region unknown. One day he accidentally entsred the village postoffice just as the postmaster was saying to an old man who stood near: "I wonder who Pierre Duval can be? I have a letter for him. There was a man named Antolne Duval living at the Hall once; do you know what became of him and whether he had a son Pierre?" "He had no son, as he never married. Antolne is dead. He was killed by some unknown assassin in France, where he went after leaving Sir Beginald." "Are you sure?" "Perfectly. He did not live six months after leaving here. "And his murderer escaped?" "Yes, leaving no clew to his identity behind him. Detectives did all they could to ferret out the mystery; but, like Sir Arthur's fate, I suppose, it will never be solved." The conversation here ceased, but Dr. Elfensteln had now learned a fact that he so long hitd wished settled. It was impossible to gain information through this Duval. He was dead, and all hope in that di rection was at an end. Entering, therefore, his gig, he drove to the Hall. He found Sir Beginald still restless and excited, and after leaving some new remedies with Mrs. Fredon, he bade him "good afternoon," and was hastening from the boose, when Miss Belle Glendenning called Us name as he held the front door open, and leaving it ajar, he stepped into the boudoir to speak to her. 'Dr. KLrengtelB," sue saia very sweet ly, raising her eyes to his, as he ap proached, "please excuse me lor detaining you, but I desired so much to know what you think of my uncle, that I could not allow you to pass without inquiring." "I wish I could say he was improving, hat really he seems so nervous that he can scarcely gain in strength!" This was what the designing girl wished. This remark gave her the op portunity long sought, to say some disDaraRing thing or one she reared ho might admire, and she hastened to seize the chance. "What a misfortune it was that such an unprincipled and exasperating girl ever entered this house!" "What girl?" asked the Doctor, sus pecting at once to whom she alluded, ana ratner anxious to araw ner out. "Ton surely do not mean Hiss Nevcrgail?" "I surely do! She certainly must have been the cause of his relapse, as she was the only person with him, and has never been seen since." "But Sir Reginald told me he ordered her from the bouse." ' 1 know he did. But any one can see She must have given him great provocation. Do you know where she is, doctor?" "I have an Impression that she ia teachingShe Whatever Dr. Elfensteln intended to add to this sentence was' never uttered, aa interruption came in the form of a quick, sharp cry for help, coming from Sir Reginald's room on the floor above, followed by the excited voice of the nurse calling him by name. Bounding up the steps, two at a time, went the Doctor, followed closely by Belle. As the physician entered tho room he glanced toward the bed, and was horrified to see the baronet lying in a fit while Lady Constance, who had entered at the first call, stood screaming by his side, and the almost equally alarmed nurse was rub bing and chasing his poor hands. Going Instantly to his side, the Doctor commenced doing all he could for his recovery, but, he saw at once that the case was apoplectic, and that he would never revive. "How did this happen? How was he taken? I saw no symptoms of this a few moments since. " "I was sitting by his side reading," replied Mrs. Fredon, "when the strangest thing happened I ever knew. Tbodcor from the hall opened and a singularlooking man entered, and going to the foot of Sir Beginald's bed, stood there, with his eyes fixed upon thM of tbe tooaet before bin, wlbont speaking

Dr.Elidnstein s

"Sir Bosrinald started up at tha sight

of tho stranger, in the greatest terror, and, raising one band as if to push him off, oxolalmed: " "Oroat Godl Mercy! mercy! then fell baok on the pillow in tho condition you now soo him." "Whore is tho man?" "Seeing what had been the effect of his sudden appearance, ho turned at onco and flod from tho room." "Can yon describe him?" asked tha Doctor. "Yes; bo was tall and slender, his hair and board were whito, and very long." "Had ho anything In bis hands?" "In one a black-leather wallet, in tbe other a book and some papers. " "It must havo boon old Stiles, tho book-soller. I romomber now, ho was lust going out of tho front door as I heard you call, and ran up. I had loft the door partly open, it being warm, to speak to Miss Bullo in tho bondoir, and he must havo glided in unperceived, eager for a chance to got subscribers for his book. Seeing so sick a person, and tho effect his unannounced presence had wrought, I suppose, caused his hurried flight from the house. In Sir Reginald's nervous condition tho surprise of seeing so singular-looking a porson by his bedside proved moro than bo could endure, and this has boon tho result." The conversation now ceased, as every effort was requirod in order to bring the baronet back to consciousness. For fully an hour Dr. Elfonstcin and Mrs. Fredon worked over that senseless form, but all was of no avail, for just as the sun dropped bohlnd the western hills, the spirit of Sir Reginald CUendenning passed back to his God. Groat indignation was expressed throughout tho neighborhood when bis sudden death and its cause became known. Tho eccentricities of Rev. Edwin G. Sttlos had taken a very oflensivo form, and It was decided that some person should bo appointed to inform him that ho novor again must tako tho liberty of walking into a houso until duly announced. Tho porson appointed to attend to this matter was Bov. Mr. Leo, who, being a brother minister, could, It was thought; approach him in tho most serious and effective manner. So Mr. Leo kept upon tho watch for his appearanco; but, strive though ho might to find him, "Old Stiles" was nowhoro to bo seen, and at tho end of ten days bad not again entered tho villages. In the meantime tho funeral of Sir Beginald took placo. Tho greatest display that wealth and influence could exort was in full force. The departed baronet had never been loved. His moroso, ugly disposition had been exercised toward all to such an extent that much sorrow was not folt at his loss; nevertheless, he was a titled man, and bis possessions were great; therefore, ovcry mark of attention was bestowed upon his family, and he was laid to rest in all the pomp and grandeur that was usually bestowed upon tho funerals of persons of his rank. CHAPTKK XXV. THE CAVE. About three days after tho burial of the baronet, Ethel Nevcrgail, with Lady Clare Lin wood, accompanied by a groom, started out for their usual horseback ride, as this exercise Dr. Elfensteln considered essential to the health of his young patient Tho two being always togethor and congenial in spirit, they enjoyed tho hours thus spent exceedingly. Both were skillful horsewomen and both were extravagantly fond of the saddle. Most of tho scenery around shiro was romantic and full of beauty, and thoy explored its many retreats with happy hearts, awake to each new and varied charm that naturo opened so prodigally before them. This morning thoy had resolved to follow a wild-looking path, leading through a deep wood, one thoy had never noticed, in rides past the spot, until the day before. Laughing and chatting gayly, they pushed through a narrow path, half overgrown with weeds and brambles, piercing deeper and deeper into what seomed the densest woodland shade. "Have you any idea, Soger," asked Lady Claire, at lust, of tho attending groom, who kept a short and respectful distanco in the rear, "where this narrow path will tako us?" "I have not, my lady. I am suro I never notiood it before and should not now, 'ad you not first discovered it Perhaps, as it is so rough and overgrown, you 'ad better tnrn back." "After awhile, Bogerl As long as we can get through, I shall liko to go on, in order to gratify my awakoned curiosity. Suddenly, after an advance of about half a mile, both girls noticod at once tbat footsteps had diverged from tho beaten path, and looking towards tbe point to which they seemed directed, they wore astonished to see the opening entrance, to what seomed a large cave, overhung with vines of th'ck luxuriance. These vines seomed lately to havo been parted, revealing, as I have said, a passage into a roomy cave. Reining up their horses, they paused before the spot in order to survey It more closely, wben all distinctly heard lew moans of pain, Issuing from a point near tho entrance Surmising at once that somo fellowbeing was In distress, Ethel requested Boger to dismount and Investigate the place, and immediately return to report the cause of the apparent suffering within. The man dismounted as requested, and disappeared from view, only to return with tho news that the eccentric book-seller, Bcv. Edwin C. Styles, was very ill in that remote and hidden spot Bidding Boger assist her to tho ground, Ethel at once .hastened to tho side of the sick man. She found him stretched upon an old cot bed in this damp and gloomy rotroat, far away from tho haunts of men. On glancing rapidly around, she noticed a few articles of furniture and a fow utensils for daily use, but saw no trace of fire or food. On this rudo bed, thon, lay stretched the form of the occontrlc being who had been so much talked of during the past fow days. His cheeks wore flushed with fover, while the weary movements of his head told of intense pain in that region. Claipcd In his thin, whito hands upon his breast lay the mysterious wallet Seeing at once that tho poor creature was vory low, porhaps near death, Ethel stepped back to the entrance of the cave, and requested Roger to ride with all speed to summon Dr. Elfensteln to his side. She also requested Lady Claire to remain within call, while she herself would watch over the sufferer until aid should come. "I think, Bogor, you should also acquaint Dr. ElfenstolD with tho fact that this is no place for so sick a person, and advise with him as to his removal. If removed, it should be done at once, and he may suggest the mode, as well as tho place, that can receive him. " Thus charged, Roger tied Ethel's bcrso securely, and then rode rapidly away. At once Ethel returned to her sclfassumed charge and endeavored to arouse him from tho stupor he was in, in order to ask of his relatives and home. But the effort was in vain. A low, incoherent muttering, In which the words "brother" and "save mo," were mingled, was all she could hear. It seemed a long and weary while to tho anxious girls, before voices wore heard in tho distance, announeIi,r the return of Bogor, with the physician and others who camo to the help of the afflicted and unknown man; but it was really a very spocily arrlva'. Dr. Elfensteln was the first to enter the choorless place, whllo two men besides Boger followed, rca-ly to boar the sufferer In the:r arms to a wagon quite a distance down tho road, boyond the narrow pathway tho girls had pushed over on tho backs of their gentlo horses. The Doctor paused a moment to examine the patiout, bat looked vory grave as he did so, and whispered to Ethol: "I think wo are too late to save him. He will live but a few hours, as death is even now upon him- lie must bo r.v moved, however, at once, and as I know of no other place, 1 shall tak him to my we bouta. Straus that be should havs

lived here alone so long, as this cave seems to have been inhabited quite a while." Taking the wallet In his hand' to draw it away, ho round it impossible to do so, as the death clutch of the dying fingers upon It was tight and still strong; so, leaving it where It was on his breast, tho Doctor summoned the men, who gently raised the slight form in tliolr arms and bore him forth, followed by the physician and the two girls. Pausing in haste to assist them to thoir seats in tho eaddlos, Earle murmured a few polite words to each relative to tho caso, thon hurried after tho sad little proeoss'o:!, while the ladles slowly brought up the rear. Soon the poor man was lying on blankets and a soft pillow upon tho floor of an easy wagon, whllo tho Doctor sat by his side, carefu'.ly fanning away the flies that might annoy, and thus thoy wended their way back to their homes. A fow hours later, In tho comfortable guest chamber at tho young physician's homo, tho poor wayfarer breathed his last and as tho sympathizing physician closed his oyes and straightened his form bo drew away the wallet ?arefully and folded the poor, thlu hands upon his breast Leaving him then In the cold sleep of death, ho loft the room in order to send for an undertaker to perform the last offices upon tho emaciated corpse. After dispatching a messenger he summoned Mrs. Clura as a witness, and passed to his private office in order to examine the mysterious wallet, that should, he hoped, reveal tho secret of tho wanderer's family and home. xo hb cootispbd.1 Tho Tlgar of the lioaelt.

Tao Many tawyen. J Tho bioerauhv of Peter tbe Great

says that, when he visited England in quest 01 information wuiou uo coiuu nse at homo, he expressed bis surprise at tbe large number of lawyers be found in London. He declared that he had bnt two in all his dominions and that he intended to take off the head of one of them as soon as he returnod. Still, it appears that tbe number of lawyers in Great Britain was formerly very small as compared to what it is at pre-iont. The number of practising and non-practising barristers in England 100 years ago was loss than 300. At tho commencement of tho presont century the numbor bod increased to 700. The number at present is about 6,000. The population of the United Kingdom has inoreosod three-fold during tho present century, but tho lawyers have increased in a muoh larger ratio. Moro are studying for tbe bar than ever before. Nothing can bo done in England without a lawyer. There is a family lawyer as well as a family doctor. Every criminal has a lawyer, and nearly every honest mon is obliged to employ one to defend him against knaves. Two men meet to transact a little common business and each brings a lawyer with him. A lawyer bos become necessary if a marriage settlement or a will is to be drawn up. If an estate is left, lawyers will consume a large portion of it in dividing it among its rightful owners. Parliament has done all it could to simplify court proceedings, but the lawyers contrived to undo most of the good work performed. If England is a "lawyer-ridden" country, what shall we call the United States? A town tbat is large enough to support a grocery is quite certain to support two lawyers, jsvory corporation, publio or private, employs an attorney. Lawyers may almost be said to constitute the governing class in this country. Lawyers usually constitute the majority of both houses of Congress and of both branches of the State Legislature. Lawyers make the laws, quarrel over them, and then get them declared unconstitutional. The next session of the Legislature they re vest the operations of the previous year. The uncertainties of the law increase from year to year. The more tbe law is expounded, the more difficult it is to understand. The more light is thrown upon it the more obscure it be comes. The more commentaries there ore on it the moro are required. Other things become clearer as time moves on. But tho reverse is true in relation to tbe meaning and application of the law. No Judge, or bench of Judges, is even measurably sure in rendering a decision. All one set of Judges can do is to make a guess.
