He saw patients at his own house almost before he had swallowed his breakfast ; later in the day, he saw other patients at their own homes ; and he was one of the pbyscians to Lazarus Hospital, and gave lectures on Materia Medica, course after course to the students of the various insurance companies, examined papers, aa;d ; passed "Or- rej ected Uvea proposed for insurance.

On the first floor of the bouse in Calthorpc street visited by Dr. Dendy, there lodged onc.Captain Lance, a retired Indian officer and j hia 'only child Miss Milly Lance. Captain' Lance was in feeble health from a' distressing asthma; and from other infirmities," o( a painful nature. 4 .He did not bear his sufferings patiently.-was indeed very peevish and petulent and hard to please; exhibited all the selfishness and want of consider ation which along' course of ill-health is apt to develop in almost any one, 'however gacat may have been ; his original stock of equanimity and, good nature. But Captain Lance had not begun with much excellence ' of. temper ; and now,' a confirmed invalid, it may be said of him that he had no temper at all, except of the very worst sort. "He was attended, however, with, a ceaseles solicitude and nntiring affection, by bis daughter Milly, a slim, fair girl of eighteen or so, not very remarkable' looking, beyond that she possessed a profusion of glossy brown hair, and a pairodarge, luminous, dove like eyes. v: M No wonder she was pale; She was always by the side or within call of hei invalid father. She was hardly , ever permitted to stir from his sick room. Ht ? was , dull tiring work. Don t go lllilly," he would sav, sharply, I may want you there's no knowing." She could only escape when her dozed,' his asthma lulled ' for a while by anodynes.' Awake, he would have her near bim; waiting for him,; slaving Tor him, nnreJng him. Now and then ' he would npbraid her bitterly lor some fancied neglect of him, the poor child with a twitching face, patiently standing by him the whiter replying only by her tears, her caia AUid her increased exerti for his comfort. Then he wonld make her the audience of bis repinings, tell over and over again the story of his suffer, ings, bursting out occasionally into pas. sionatelamentations over his broken health and ruined fortnnes. What could she say ? v What could she 'do ? ! It was tiring cruel work for poor Milly Lance. ! He' was 'pbOrT 4' The fact was too often harped oft and groaned - over for Milly not to be eonscious enough of it.'";;' Yet it mnstbe said ,that Dr. Dendy had made no "nroads on the sick officer' Straightened mear.s. ; I No, my dear." he said to 3filly, on liis first putting, from him with a 6mile the proffered fee, it musn't be. We doctors have all our crotchets. Each of us has his free. list One enters clergymen upon it ; another artists; a third, authors. For my part I never take a fee from a soldier. I should be ashamed to do it. My own father was a soldier, and served in India, as your . father has served, only liej.was more 1 fortunate. He was a general of division when he d&dDon't let"usJ hear 4ny more" talk about fees"1 It mnsn't be thought of for amoment.w''K;oaT j a qu Dr. Dendy, how. good of you ! Bat you'll come and see bim : again ?" Milly said, timidly thankful, yet alarmed. Would so great a man as the physician be content to continue laboring without his due reward ? i . s "My dear,.! shall .come again and again, as often as possible, till, between U3, we've made poor papa quite well again." MsJ.uM mwhfiiQ , '"'This'w'ason the occasion of Dr. Dendy's first visit ; to Calthorpe street. MUly'a f gratitude .,secmed, to know no bonnds.' And: then,t thanks, to Provi1 dence and the Doctor's remedies, her invalid's health had certainly mended of late, tie had not scolded her. for nearly three days, and for about a quarter of an hour he had t been almost cheerful. Indeed, she had reason to be grateful. . lf.The doctor left MillyJLance with a fluttering sensation about his heart, such as he had taken no account, made no mention of whatever, in his famous trertise upon that" organ .";?,He returned to Calthorpe street often. , He alleged that it was very necessary for him to watch closely the , effect of his prescriptions upon his patient And each time that he saw Milly Lance and be now felt a curious desire W see her as frequentlyaspo8sibIer"be experienced a return of that strange flattering sensation' in the cardiac region. He was not alarmed at it--he did not think it was disease, and if it was he didn't care, for It was not at all disagreeable. . , Indeed, he liked it Professionally, he was inclined, to regard it as "a new: development of action quite healthy in its nature."8 i - - , j :!'.:::.. RtsO i . -es For the first, time he felt the chosen pursnitof bis life not sufficiently attractive or absorbing.

At least, he surmised that love was the disturbing cause of his heart's pulsing. He had had no expert fence of the sort of things before , but still be thought he could hardly be mistaken. His disorder must arise from what people generally call love. It got to be more than he could bear a( last. 7 " ' ' : :':-"" So he plucked up courage, and in en old fashioned, formal way, he spoke to Captain Lance on the subject, and ; besought permission to address himself to Miss Lance. And he named a very handsome sum which he proposed to settle on his future wife if he might regr.rd Miss Lance in that light i. -i it n shall make no difference to j'ou.

' I congratulate you, Milly;"-Captain Lance said presently to his daughter, the doctor having taken 'his departure. 4 You will accept him of course. He's ill-looking enough, but he cant help that, and one gets accustomed to ill looks. I don't think him nearly as plain as I first thought bim. And he's old ; be can't help that either, and he'll sooner make you his widow, and he's rich, Milly very rich. Thank goodness, we shall have, done with this jnfernal poverty !

A he talked he liked to curl up a siting,. or' fold up a pipelight, or snip paper with a pair of scissors. He toyed with Milly's tapes and cottons, let loose her needles from their case, stuck pins into her pin cusli ion in curious forms and patterns. t One day as he sat by her in a playful mood (Captain Lance being asleep in an adjoining room)' he turned her 'work box over bodily, strewing its' contents'' all about the table. " " " -t ... He, took up a carved ivory card case and examined it curiously. That was a present from Hong Kong. Is it not beautifully cut Milly asked. There was a flush upon her cheek as she .spoke. He. had opened the card case,, which was deemed, perhaps, too good for use; indeed Milly had a few friends upon' whom to call and leave cards, and her case contained none; but a photograph feli out. , , " That .'is my , cousin, Mark Lance.
