( Continued.) "Inst send me a few strong doses of quinine, doctor, and order me soiim inilk and some coals, and I sail be able to get along by myself, as I have often done before and will oftn again. IA lew days will pull me round all right without troubling any one." "l Ui afraid it may be a more serius matter this time." s-aid the doctor. 'but have your own way for the present. I ll see that you have some miik. and if 1 have a spare rug or blanket I'll tiend it a swell to throw over you. Now. good-hy, and see that you keep yowrself as warm and comfortable as you av: ander t the difficult cirenmStanc s am have chosen for yourself." ' I oughtn't to have listened to him." he went on tu himself as be walked home through the driving snow, which pud be. n falling thickly for some time; "but there! that old Ulundl mg of mine he can have tonight. It looks as it he would need it badly." The ensuing night proved keen and Trosty and Falconer's thoughts reverted more than once to the alterable shelter in .vhieh he had left his patient and the still more miserable shakedown on which the fever-stricken wretch was lying. At a comparatively earlv bom the next morning he was again at the door, waiting iu some impatience until it was again unchained and unlocked, and revealed the solitary inmate shivering and moaning in agon it s of neuralgia. "So this is the result of leaving you to your own de vices! ' he exclaimed as he strode in; ; '"but come, there is no time to be lost now. Gel on vour clothes and anything you want to take with you, and I will have a fly at the door in rive minutes. But sit down first and let me ' re von a hvnoaVimic dose of I morpLia to quiet your pain. Is there ny wuter in the house?" "Ton can get it at the tap. and here is g cup. Rut 1 tell you plainly. I'm not going out of thiö hoiuse. Do anything you can for me without removing me. nd I will thank you aud repay you when : can. I do thank you a hundred times for the rug you sent me last night. Bat go to infirmary or hospital 1 will not: understand that clearly. . "Well, well!" said the dot tor. wishing to humor him for the moment; "'lie down there and get ander the rug then. Hold out your arm. There, you'll feel better in a minute. V deal lietter." lie muttered to himself as he drove home a full dose: Mt WlH he easier to get him away so. Now lie et ill am! keep yourself warm for half an hour. I have another ease to see in the next Street, and I will he hack here in that time." So saying, he walked ajahklj to the door, from which he withdrew the key and put it in his pocket. Tt was several minutes walk to the nearest rah stain! and nearly half an hour had elapsed before he was again mi the door with a fonr-wheeler. To his chagrin lie found it fastened by the chain, bar with a powerful push of his shoulder he buret it open and entered. tlis patient was lying on the floor of the front room on bis face, having apparently succumbed to the influence of the morphia as he was returning from putting the chain on the door. ' What a monomania" ! ' exclaimed the doctor as he stooped o lift him. ' Hallo! What Lave we here? those tumors again?" In a moment he had laid the insensible figure on the bed and wa hastily undoing his clothing. Under the man's shirt, and aexl l.is skin w:ifastei ed a broad eanva belt, furnished with six large leathern pouches widely dister ding and bulging prominently. "'Ha! this explains the my-rry! Vacnua cantabU Indeed! what a weigh!! Thesf are malignant tumors with a Vengeance! Come, my friend. l-t go" this to the patient, who a feebly and hall nneonscioosly clutching at tin , :belt as he withdrew II 'l mu nsahe a thorough examination of t!uo tumors, since I have discovered them at I last." Plaeing the belt on tin- Boor for theie wu no table in the room h- unJooied tl ( strap of one of the pooches with Ingers that tremble.' with excitement. A yellow gleam caught his eye, and for a moment Iiis hands shook so violently aud uncontrollably that a small avalanehe of sold mine rolled on; upon the bare boards with a jingling craar. and spread over the floor. His head s m. flashy of fire seemed to dance OS his eyes, a thunderous Teverberar ion filled his ears, and before lie WM able (o control his own mov menis he was down on his knees wildly j clutching at the coins with both hands, thrusting them into his pockets as fast as he could gather them up. Eh -cohering himself with a sense f shame and amazement such as he had never felt before, he was cowarlons of ihodderlng so violently that his teeth ehattered, and the gold dfopm d au-iin and again from his fingers, "for shame, Richard Falconer!" he heard himself aaying a!oudk "is this your contempt for filthy lucre, your boasted indifference to gold? Get up at once, put back that money and see to your patient as you ought! What is all this to ou?" With a great effort he pulled himself togather and began methodically to gather up the coirs and put them back into the pouch. Most of them were English sovereigns, bvt some were

A SHORT STORY

I Kastern coins, at whose value he could , only guess. He estimated, however. that the content of the first bag irust be worth at least two hundred pounds: a second and a third were opened with a similar result: but the last three contained not coins, hut jewels, mostly unset and many uncut; rubies, emeralds and diamonds, some of them of great ize and evidentlv of enormous value. He was still engaged In counting and ; examining these last, oblivious of the lapse of time, when he was tartleU ay hearing the outer door and footsteps cross the floor towards the door of the inner room. Almost before he was conscious of moving he found himself at the door arid in the act of turning the key in the lock. "Good Heavens!" he muttered. "I must be under the spell of the gold -fiend myself. This will never do!" Nevertheless he opened the door only wide enough to let himself through, and at once closed and locked it behind him. Then he found himself face to face with the driver of the cab which he had left at the door. "Heg your pardon, sir!" eaid the man. touching his hat; "I thought you had forgotten me. Is there anything you want carried out to the cab?" i'm afraid I did forget you." said the doctor. ' The fact is, I have seen reason to change my mind about removing the patient. You need not wait any longer. Here is a shilling for the time you have lost. "Not quite a case for the Union Infirmary." he said to himself after the 1 al) liafl departed. I must gei a nur-' for him and order isome proper food. He will he able to pay for them." he added with a laugh. "And now I think of it. I had better take charge of his money myself." So saying, he returned the jewels to their respective pouches, fastened them securely, and again locking the door. took off Iiis coat and waistcoat and buckled the heavy belt around his own waist. Its weight surprised him, but when he had adjusted it In its place and rearranged his clothes over it. he was astonished to find how easily it fitted and how little external evidence thre wan of its presence. Then he kneeled down beside his patient and examined him minutely. The man lay in a death-like stupor, with eyes half open, and the doctor, raising the lids successively with his thumb, noted with keen professional glance that the pupils were contracted to less than half their natural eize. "Good heavens!" was his first thought; "can 1 have given him an overdose?" The next ten minutes were spent in efforts to awake and arouse the sleeping man. He shouted in his ears, dipped the corner of his handkerchief in water and slapped his face, raided him to his feet only to find his legs collapse helplessly under him. Then he pin hie hand to the hip-pocket in which he carried his hypodermic case. The hujky pouches of the belt delayed him for a moment, but it was enough to hange the current of Ms thoughts. The thought of the wealth now within his grasp rushed over him like an irresistible Hood, sweeping everything before it. "Don't be a Quixotic fool, Richard Falconer! You have done all you can for him: lei hi in go now. and take the good that has fallen into your hands. Here is what will pay all your debts, solve all your difficulties, launch you on a new and full career, brighten your wife's lot, and give your boy a proper chance in the world. Think hoar much more good it will do in your band than in those of this useless miser. Now you will have some hance of pursuing your scientific studies to advantage and doing some service io humanity in your day. .iust leave the case to nature, (io back to your house. mal; your evening visit in due course, Had him dead, and certify the real cause -malarial fever. And if there be an inquest, there are the contracted liver and enlarged spleen ready to your hand as a Uftclenf explanation, and, what is better, a perfectly true one." He strode up and down the room in a fever of exc itement, his llpa mattering, his head whirling. How it ended )) could never clearly recollect; he hail a confused remembrance of rushing t'mm the hoWM?, of parsing through the streets, even of topping to tipeak with some acquaintances. He found afterwards that he had made more than one pariah visit, through which habit and the automatic force of perfect training had carried him without any blunder. After a time he seemed to himself to wake as if from a tli"um. His wifeV voice, sounding at Iral as if coming from a great distance, recalled him t.o himself. "Richard, Richard, what is the matter? What has happened o you?" He was seated in his o vn hair in his consulting-room, hi uift kneel' lag on the floor holding his hands. "Oh. you are ill, you ate nothing at breakfast thi morning I saw you. though you thought I didn't notice. Oh. Richard, you musn'i go on like that; if you were to break down what would become of us? Sit still now, till I see if there he any wine left in the decanter, and then you must have something to eat." "Stop, Mary," said he, as she rose to leave the room. "I am better now. It must have been one of my old me-

grims. for I have no recollection of coming in. The fact i3. I have only returned from seeing a rather curiou case, and the poor fellow appeared to be iu desperate misery and want. He is in an empty house by himself, has neither chair nor bed, nor apparently a scrap of food to eat. And I can't todure him to go to the infirmary. He a discharged soldier, and appears to h ive been a gentleman once, and he seems to be as proud as Lucifer." (To be Continued.)

TITLES CHEAP FOR GASH. If Vou Waat to He a I'rlnce liny the Honor in Italy. Throughout Europe Italian titles of nobility do not enjoy a very high reputation: so much so that, as a general rule, a mere Australian baron is more highly considered than an Italian marquis, says the London Mail. One explanation of thia fact is that many of these Italian nobles with high-sounding handles to their names are not in a very enviable financial situation. Many astounding instances may be cited of Italian dukes and counts who occupy the strangest positions abroad. Some are coachmen, others hotel porters, one is an interpreter in a railw-ay station, another is butler in the family of an American millionaire. In New York there is a well known Italian count who has run an elevator for several years past. In southern Italy, where poverty is greater than in other portions of the peninsula, the great noble families are compelled to resort to the most extraordinary strategems to save appearances. In Naples poor families have adopted a system of mutual carriages and horses, which is BOm what c urious. Five or six families agree to pay the expenses of a luxurious establishment, generally a four-in-hand, with coachman and footman. The carriage door, with the various coats of arms of the different families, is alone changed, according to th, family which uses the carriage. On great occasions these families draw !otn to see which shall use the carriage and horses. But a strange fact is that now, when so many noble families have become impoverished, the Italian government is about to increase the price of titles. In future the man who wishes to hear a prince's crown must pay $S,010 to the government; to become a duke $0,000 is sufficient; for $5.000 one ma be a marquis, and for 14.000 a count; 12,400 is sufficient to become a baron, and $1.000 for the simple prefix ' le." These figures apply only io the titles conferred by the king. Besides these royal titles are the dignities conferred by the pope, with which several American merchants and business men have been honored. Those papal titles are somewhat cheaper than those conferred hy the king. At the Vatican a brand- ' new- count may be created for $2,400, ' and a marquis for $3,000. American I amateurs should take note of this fact, j It is hardly necessary io add that the proud old Italian aristocrats look down With the greatest font erupt on these parvenu noblemen, whether created by the king or the pope. These proud Italian ariatocarts of ancient lineage, such as the Colonna, the Borghese, the Orsini of Rome, the Strozzi of Flor ence, and the viscomte of Milan, consider themselves vastly superior to the most ancient nobles of France and Great Britain and the equals of most royal families. Some of the old Roman nobles even claim direct descent fron; the days of ancient Rome. GERMANY AND THE EAST. Hers Is the Most Powerful Influence at Constantinople. The notion of Germany possessing the cradle of human civilisation in As syria, as well as the holy places of Christianity, might easily attract a lese enthusiastic mind than that of the emperor, says the Spectator. To make matters easier, Germany has become the patron and almost the protector of the sultan. No influence is so powerfnl at Constantinople as that of Germany. She can obtain concessions which are refused to every other power. Her officers drill the Turkish troops, her manufacturers supply the Turkl with cannon, rifles and ammunition, and in a number of ways the sultan has come to be dependent upon his brother autocrat. Originally, no doubt, the sultan leaned upon Germany because Germany Beemed the one great power which wanted nothing from Turkey Which it would weaken the independence and integrity of Turkey to give. We can hardly suppose that this itf still the view entertained at the Porte, but Turkey is now too much beholden to Germany to be able to withdraw. She cannot shake off her formerly disinterested and yet helpful friend, even though it now seems probable that this friend will ultimately follow the example of the others, and will want to concentrate, and so strengthen." the power of Turkey by slicing off a few outlying provinces. Rut in all probability the emperor's dream doee not really stop at dicing off provinces. The world has been hesitating long and wearily ;is to who i to have Constantinople, and there seems no possibility of agreement among the rival claimants. Under such circumstances, what could be more natural than that it should ultimately fall to tlermany? That, however, is a piece of German ' idealism" which can be kept in the background for the present. Sal iatel. Mrs. Bixler- -"Charles, I don't think we will go to Starfish Beach, after all.
