Hero were chairs and a little table placed in tho shade of the vines. When lie hud closcd the door of the patio and we were seated, ho rang a silver bell th steed upon the table, and a girl, young and fair, appeared from the house, dressed in a quaint. Spanish dress. "Bring wine," said my host.

The wine was brought—white wine ot Oporto such as I had never tasted before. ''Your health, senor." And my host stopped, his glass in hand, and looked at me inquiringly. •'Diego d'Aila," I answered. "Humph," lie said. "A Spanish name, or perhaps an imitation Spanish name, for I do not know it, and I have a good head for names." "That is my uame, to take or to leave, senor," and I looked at him in turn. "Andres do "uii wa,'' he replied, bowing,

ness except their owners'. I see that you area stranger in this city—1:0 need to look surprised, senor. One who is familiar with a town does not gaze and stare and aslthe path of passersbv, nor docs a nativ of Seville walk 011 the sunny side of the street in summer. And now, if you will not think me impertinent, I will ask you what can be the business of so healthy a young man with my rival yonder?" And he nodded toward the house of the famous physician. "A man's business, like his name, is his own affair, senor," I answered, setting my host down in my mind as one of those who disgrace our art by plying openly for patients that they may capture their fees, "Still I will tell you. I ain also u, physician, though not yet fully qualified, and I seek a place where I may help some doctor of repute in his daily practice, and thus gain experience and my living with it." "Ah, is it so? Well, senor, then you will look in vain yonder," and again he nodded toward the physician'* houSe. "Such in he will take no apprentice without the foil bo large indesd. It is not the custom of this city." "Then I must seek a livelihood elsewhere or otherwise. "I did not say so. Now, senor, let us see what you know.ot' medkine. and, what is more important, of hum..:: nature, for of the first none- of us can ever know much, but he who knows the latter will be a leader of men—or of women—who lead the men."

And without more ado he put mo many questions, each of them so shrewd and going so directly to the heart of the mattier in hand that I marveled at his sagacity. Some of these questions were medical, dealing chiefly with the ailments of women others were general and dealt more with their characters. At length ho finished. "You will do, senor," he said. You are a young man of parts and promise, though, as was to be expected from one of your years, you lack cxpericnce. There is stuff in you, Benor, and you have a heart, which is a good thing, for tho blunders of a man with a heart often carry him farther than the cunning of the cynic also you have a will and know how to direct it."

I bowed and did my best to hold back my satisfaction at his words from showing in my face. "Still," ho went on, "all this would not cause me to submit to you tho offer that I am about to make, for many a prettier fellow than yourself is, after all, unlucky, or a fool at the bottom, or bad tempered* and destined to the dogs, as for aught I know you may bo also. But I take my chance of that becauso you suit mo in another way. Perhaps you may scarcely know it yourself, but you have beauty, senor, beauty of a very rare and singular type, which half the ladies of Seville will praise when they come to know you." "I am much flattered," I said, "but might I ask what all these compliments may mean? To be brief, what is your offer?" "To be brief, then, it is this: I am in need of an assistant who must possess all the qualities that I see in you, but most of all 0110 which I can only guess you to possess—discretion. That assistant would not be ill paid. This house would be at his disposal, and ho would have opportunities of learning tho world such as aro. given to few. What say you?" "I- say this, senor, that I should wish to know more of the business in which I am expected to assist. Your offers sound too liberal, and I fear that I must earn your bounty by the doing of work that honest men might shrink from." "A fair argument, but, as it happens, not quite a correct one. Listen. You have been told that yonder physician, to whose house you went but now, and these"— here he repeated four or live names—'"are the greatest of their tribe in Seville. It is not so. I am tho greatest and the richest, and I do more business than any two of them. Do you know what my earnings have been this day alone? I will'tell you— just over 25 gold pesos (about £03) more than all the rest of the profession have taken together, I will wager. You want, to know how I earn so much you want to know also why, if I have earned so much, I am not content to rest from my labors. Good I will tell you. I earn it by ministering to the vanities of women and sheltering them from the results of their own folly. Has a lady a sore heart, she conies to me for comfort and advice. Has she pimples on her face, she Hies to me to euro them. Has she a secret love affair, it is I who hide her indiscretion. I consult tho future for her, I help her to atone the past, I doctor her for imaginary ailments, and often enough I cure her of real ones. Half the secrets of Seville are in my hands. Did I choose to sneak I could set a score of no­

Hundreds of women think mo1 their savior I know them for my dupes. Hut, mark you, I do not push t!:is game too far. A love philter —of colored water—1 may give at. a price, but not. a poisoned rose. These they must seek elsewhere. For the rest, in my way 1 am honest. I take the world as it conies, that is all, anil as women will bo fools 1 profit by their folly and have grown rich upon it. "Yes, I have grown rich, and yet I cannot stop. 1 love the money that is power, but. more than all I love tho way of life. Talk of romances and adventurcl What romance or adventure is half so wonderful as those that come daily to my notice? And I play a part in every 0110 of them, and none the less a leading part because 1 do not shout and strut upon the boards." "If all this is so, why do you seek the help of an unknown lad, a, stranger of whom you know nothing?" I asked blunt iy. "Truly, you lack experience," tho old man answered, wiih a laugh. "Do you, then, suppose that I should chooso one who was not a stranger—one who niigl,.. have ties within this city with which I was unacquainted? And as for knowing nothing of you, young man, tlo you thinkthat 1 have followed this strange trade of mine for 40 years without learning to jud-'" at sight PerllapsJL knuw you bet TerThah you know "yourself?

do lknow? Why, easily enough.

Those boots you wear were made in Eng land. I have seen many such when I trav eled there. Your accent also, though faint, is English, and twice you have spoken English words when your Castilian failed you. Then for tho maid, is not that a betrothal ring upon your hand? And when 1 spoke to you of the ladies of this country my talk did not interest you overmuch, as at your age if had done were you heart whole. Surely also the lady is fair and tall? Ah, I thought so! I havo noticed that men and women love their opposite in color, no invariable rule indeed, but good for a guess." '•You aro very clever, senor." '"No, not clever, but trained, as you will be when you have been a year in my hands, though perchance you do not intend to stop so long in Seville. Perhaps you came here with an object and wish to pass the time profitably till it is fulfilled. A good guess again, I think. Well, so be it.. I will risk that—object and attainment are often far apart. Do you take my offer?" "I incline to do so." "Then you will take it. Xow I have something more to say before wo come to terms. I !o not want you to play the part of an apothecary's drudge. You willfigure before the world asTiTy nephew,"come from abroad to learn my trade. You will help me in it indeed, but that is not al! your duty. Your part will bo to mix in tho life of Seville and to watch those whom I bid you watch, to drop a word hero and a hint there, and in a hundred ways that I shall show you to draw grist to my mill—and to your own. Y^v. must be brilliant and witty or sad and learned, as I wish you must make this most or your person and your talents, for these go far with my customers. To tlio hidalgo you must talk of arms, to the lady of love, but you must, never commit yourself be yoml redemption. And, above all, young man"—and here his manner changed, and his face grew stern and almost fierce— '•you must never violate my confidence or the confidence of my clients. O11 this point I will be quite open with you. and I pray you for your own sake to believe what I eay, however much you may mistrust the rest. If you break faith with me, you die you die, not by my hand, but you die. That is my price take it or iea,vc itShould you leave it and go hence and tell what you have heard this day, even then misfortune may overtake you suddenly. Do you understand?" "I understand. For my own sake I will respect your confidence." "Young sir, I like you better than ever. Had you said that you would respect it becauso it was a confidence, I should have mistrusted you, for doubtless you feel that secrets communicatcd so readily havo 110 claim to be held sacred. Nor havo they, but when their violation involves the sad and accidental end of tho violator it is another matter. Well, now, do you accept?" "I accept." '•Good. Your baggage, I suppose, is at the inn. I will send porters to discharge your score and bring it hero. No need for you to go, nephew. Let us stop and drink another glass of wiue. Tho sooner we grow intimate the better, nephew."

It was thus that I first became acquainted with Senor Andres do Fonseca, my benefactor, the strangest man I have ever known. Doubtless any person reading this history would think that I, tho narrator, was sowing a plentiful crop of troubles for myself in having to deal with him, setting him down as a roguo of the deepest, such as sometimes for their own wicked purposes decoy young men to crime and ruin. But it was not so, and this is tho strangest part of tho strange story. All that Andres do Fonscca told 1110 was true to tho very letter.

Ho was a gentleman of great talent who had been rendered a little mad by misfortunes in his early life. As a physician I havo never met his master, if indeed he has 0110 in these times, and as a man versed in the world and more especially in the world of women I havo known nono to compare with him. He had traveled far and seen much, and lie forgot nothing. In part he was a quack, but his quackery always had a meaning in it. lie fleeced the foolish indeed and even juggled with astronomy, making money out of their superstition, but 011 tho other hand he did many a good act without reward. He would make a rich lady pay 10 gold pesos for the dyeing of her hair, but often he would nurse some poor girl through her trouble and ask 110 cliargc—yes, and find her honest employment after it. He who knew all the secrets of Seville never made money out. of them by threat of exposure, as ho said because it. would not pay to do BO, but really because, though he affected to bo a selfish knave, at bottom his heart was honest.

For my own part, I found life with him both easy and happy, so far as mine could bo quite happy. Soon I learned my rolo and played it well. It was given out that I was the nephew of the rich old physician Fonseca, whom he was training to take his place, and this, together with my own appearance and manners, insured me a welcome in tho best houses of Seville. Hero I took that share of our business which our master could not take, for now ho never jnixed among tho fashion of tho city. Money j_ was fiupjM4rtl_wifch in abundance.

60 that 1 could rufllo it with tho "best, but, soon it became known that I looked to business as well as to pleasure.

Often and often during some gay ball or carnival a lady would glide up to me and ask beneath her breath if Don Andres do Fonseca would consent to see her privately 011 a mailer of ton importance, and I would !ix ::i hour !:c and there. Had it. not been for i-:\ such patients would havo been lo. 1 tons, since, for the most, part, their timidity had k.pt t'..ei'i away.

Ill l!i" miih' i'a !si- hcn the festival was ended, m.d I -.re:, rod to wend homeWard, i.ow a: a ilar.t would slip his arm in mi :.:,d i:iv master's help in some affair of love' or honor or even of the pur*e. Then I \ve-,!d lead hint raighl to the old Moeris'i i:- ase where Dun An dres sa: v.iiii.: in l.is velv robe like some spider is web, 1'r.r the .most of our busi'v." was dene al !it. and straight way the matter would be amended to, to ray master's pmiit ami the salisfae tion ol all. 1 degrees it became known that, though 1 was so young, et 1 hail discretion, and that nothing which went in at my ears came out of my lips that 1 neither brawled nor drank nor gambled to any length, and that, though I was friendly with many fair ladies, there wore none who were entitled to know my secrets also it became known that 1 had some skill in my art of healing, and it was said among the ladies of Seville that there lived 110 man in that, city so deft at clearing the skin of blemishes or changing the color of the hair as old Fonseca's nephew, and as anyone may know this reputation alone was worth a fortune. Thus ii came about that I was more and. more consulted on my own account. In short, things went so well with us that in tho lirst six months of my practice 1 add ed by one-third to the receipts of my master's practice, large as they had been before. besides lightening his labors not a little.

It was a strange life, and of the things that 1 saw and learned, could they be written, I might make a tale indeed, but they have no part in this history, for it was as though the smiles and silence with which men and women hide their thoughts were done away, and their hearts spoke to us iu the accents of truth. Now sonic fair young maid or wife would come to us with confessions of wickedness that would be thought impossible did not her story provo itself—the secret murder perchance of a spouse, or a lover, or a rival now some aged dame who would win a husband in his teens now some wealthy low born man or woman who desired to buy an al liance with one lacking money, but of 110 ble blood. Such I did not care to help Indeed, but to the lovesick or tho love do luded I listened with a ready ear, for 1 had a fellow feeling with them. Indeed BO deep and earnest was my sympathy that more than once I found tho unhappy fair ready to transfer their affections to my unworthy self, and in fact once things camealxjut so mat, had I willed it, I could have married one of the loveliest and wealthiest, noble ladies of Seville.

But I would none of it who thought of my Englis'n Lily by day and night.

CHAPTER VII. THE SECOND MKETIN'OS.

It may be thought that while I was employed thus I had forgotten the object of my coming to Spain—namely, to avenge my mother's murder on the person of Juan de Garcia. But this was not so. So Bociu as I was settled In the liouso of An dres ue Fonseca I set myself to mako inquiries as to De Garcia's whereabouts with all possible diligence, but without result.

Indeed when I came to consider tho matter coolly it seemed that I had but a slender chance of finding him in this city. He had indeed given it out in Yarmouth that lio was bound for Seville, but 110 ship bearing the same name as his had put in at Cadiz or sailed up the Guadalquivir, nor was it likely, having committed murder in England, that he would speak the truth as to his destinat ion. Still I searched on.

The house where my mother and grandmother had lived was burned down, an:' as their mode of life had been retired after more than 20 years of change few even remembored their existence. Indeed I ouly discovered one, an old womali whom I found living in extreme poverty, and who onco had been my grandmother's servant and knew my mother well, although she was not in the house at the timo of her flight to England. From this woman I gathered some information, though, needless to say, I did not tell her that I was tho grandson of her old mistress.

It seemed that after my mother fled to England with my father De Garcia persecuted my grandmother and his aunt with lawsuits and by other means till at last she was reduced to beggary, in which condition tho villain left her to die. So poor was she indeed that she was buried in a public grave. After that the old woman, my informant, said she had heard that De Garcia had committed some criino and been forced to flee the country. What the crlmc was she could not remember, but it had happened about 15 years ago.

All this I learned when 1 had been about three months in Seville, and though it was of interest it did not advance mo in my search.

Some four or five nights afterward, as 1 entered my employer's house, I meta young woman coming out of the doorway of the patio. She was thickly veiled, and my notice was drawn to her by her tall and beautiful figure and becauso she was weeping so violently that her body shook with her sobs. I was already well accustomed to such sights, for many of those who sought my master's counsel had good cause to weep, and I passed her without remark. But when I was come into tho room wliero ho received his patients 1 mentioned that I had met such a person and asked If it was any ono whom I knew. ''Ah, nephew," said Fonseca, who always called me thus by now, and indeed began to treat me with as much affection as though 1 were really of his blood, "a sad case, but you do not know her, and she is no paying patient. A poor girl of 110blo birth who had entered religion and taken her vows, when a gallant appears, meets her secretly in the convent garden, promises to marry her if she will fly with him, indeed does go through some mum mery of marriage with her—so she says— and the rest, of it. Now I10 has deserted her, and she is in trouble, and, what is more, should the priests catch her, likely to learn what it feels like to die by inches in a convent wall. Sho came to mo for counsel and brouglit some silver ornaments' as the fee. Here they are." '•You took them?" '"Yes, I took them—I always take a

It. was scarcely safe to be thus alone in such a place and hour, but the business with which I had been char ed by my master was ono that, must, be carried out unattended also 1 had no enemies whom 1 knew of and was armed with the very sword that 1 hud taken from De Garcia in the lane atDitchingham, i'.e sword that, had slain my mother, and which I bore in tho hope that it. miiiM serve to avenge her. I11 the use of lilis weapon 1 had grown expert- enough by now, for every morning I took lessons in the art of fence.

My business being done, I was walking slowly homeward, and as 1 went 1 fell to thinking of the strangeness of my present life, and of how far it differed from my boyhood in the valley of Wavoney, and ol many oilier things. And then 1 thought of Lily and wondered how her days pas's ed, and it my brother Godfrey persecuted her to marry him, and whether or no s.hi would losist his importunities and her (. ther's. And so as I walked musing I cnmi to a water gate hat, opened 011 to the Giu.dalquivir. ar.d leaning upon the coping ol 11 low wall 1 rested there idly to cr.nsvt.'ei the beamy of the night.

Now. as 1 leaned upon the wall and loo! ed, I .saw a man pass up the steps besi'.h mo and go into tho shadow of the sired. 1 took no note of him till presently I heard a murmur of dist.rnt voices, and lurniii. my head 1 discovered that the man we.s ii conversation with a woman whom he had met at the head of the path that ran dowi to the water gate. Doubtless it was a lov ers' meeting, and since such sights are et interest, to all, and more especially lo the young, 1 watched the pair. Soon 1 learned that, there was little of tenderness in this tryst, af least, on tho part of the gallM.t. who drew continually backward low .1 me as though he woidd seek the boat by which doubtless hu bad come, and 1 mar veled al, this, for the moonlight shorn upon the woman's face, and even at that distance I could sec that it was very fa?, The man's lace I tild not see. howe'.i since his back was toward 1110 lor the 11 part.

And now I must tell how I met my cousin and my enemy, Do Garcia, for the second time. Two days after my meeting With the veiled lady it chanced that I was wandering toward midnight through a

"Oh, you will not be so cruel," said the lady, "to leave me, your wife, thus alone and in such sore trouble and danger!

I took three paces and stood before him. drawing my sword as I came. "What, my dove, havo you a bully at hand?" he said, stopping back astonished. "Your business, senor?
