The Doctor escapxl with something less than two reasonable meals, but it was partlv by keeping up such a rattling fore of words that his hostess occasionally forgot what she thought the essentials o'f hospitality in the charm of his conversation. It was evident, even to himself, and lie was no ouick observer,—that Miss Cordon was highly pleaaed with hliiJ, and that be might count on what ever influence she possessed.

The supjier table, however, was Isut part of hw finance. The evening was half over before he escaped. The quizzical expression of his aunt recurred in its ftdl forc£

CHAITER III. I'ROFKKStONAl. t'ALU

LM\ Wilmer worked bard daring the few days In getting himself properlv established as n»ident physician in* Salem. His* eneravtio temperament was not satisfied with the simple sign displayed on his office window, giving his name, title, and office hours. Fie supplemented this* with cards distributed throughout the town, bearing bis name and location only. He wax too proud to wake any sensational appeal to the citizen**. He also mar. ni to become acquainted with the rim iiuil townsmen taking, in short, every legitimate means to further his interests, without, however, rendering himself obtrusive, or abating one jot his native pride and independency of character. 'Vhm'S qualities of hi* mental orgnnization, in fact, hindered him in hat in making his way with the to* 1 it. Hi* innate naughtiness would involuntarily display itself in his Intercourse with the purse-proud or vulgar, though he was courtesy Itwlf with the ued and cultured.

Her retiring dhq^tidit, a dislike to the sex gen lly, oraome special msi of tills repret 1 ative, st od in urn way of hia progr —poliKhed, gallant, and well fitted to make Ids way with the fair aex as he had UMU*l!Y proved.

His original feeling of i'rrt gained fuel from the very cold uU which a^ie seemed to throw upon it, and became a xcntiiK worilr, of some stronger word, t. ugh it as to him aa yet little more than a general uneasinew. and a l»e)fMi»tent rising of her image before his mind's eye, even at the most inappropri' ate times. lit was not long before he had a nura bcr of jiatienta on his hands, some really «k*k, some sick in com i:, some, doubtlews, sick for an interv with the new doctor not love-«iek, preeiaely, but tanev-smltten. Yet Ids time waa by no fully occupied, and he had many *pare moments to devote to couaintuntt among whom Mr. 'phs waa one of the moat frequent victors, rendering himself rather v^'ieoable to the Doctor, despite their 1) irenee in character. A good part of hi* time was spent at hi* aunt s, a portion of it in ruralizing rud botanizing in the surrounding country, and a miuuto but alluring tiortiou in haunting the paths of Miaa Heynolds, though seldom more than a nod of recognition from the discreet girl repaid him for the time thus wasted.

But it is not alone virtue that meets Its* reward. Persistence, particularly If it neglects no opportunities, must have the same happy ending. TTius far she had baffled every effort of her admirer to pass the outworks of her reserve, and lmd quietly but firmly objected to his proffered escort home,* often as It had l»een made.

Miss Reynolds botirded with a quiet, middle-aged lady, in a pleasant cottage near the western extremity of the town, where her home life was as reserved as any recluse oould desire, aught from the exterior world seldom passing the portals of Mrs. Mav's cottage, or, at least, intruding into the seclusion of Miss Reynold's favorite sitting room. How she spent her time here was rather a mystery to the villagers, though her books, and a •ertain reputation for knowledge gained by her might have given the clue.

But no condition lasts in this world the longest lane has its turning, and the foot of that monster man, in the distance of destiny, was turned toward this Edenic sanctum sanctorum.

Dr. Wilmer luid that revealing habit, common to the love-touched, of bending the conversation the way the thoughts are bent. In his colloquies with his aunt and cousin, the name of the musicteacher would slip in, and she was made the subject of conversation to a degree which she would scarcely have approved of. Miss Ijiura was too keen-sighted not to perceive the ftmcv that had made its way to the heart of her impulsive cousin, isho even ventured in a modest wav—for mischief-loving Laura was rather afraid of her big cousin—to twit him with his penchant, and received in reply a look that admonished her not to venture too for in that direction.

It may have been partly in revenge for this that she remarked one day, in a careless manner: 'Do vou know I am a&aid my dear Miss Reynolds is not quite well these davs. AVhen last here she seemed unnaturally quiet, and to-day ahe has not shown herself at all. I fear the poor girl is overdoing herself." 'Doyou really think so?" asked the doctor at once interested. "I doubt if she is quite robust. And hiird work is very telling on some con stitutions. I will have to tell her that she must take better care of her health. "Why, Laura, I thought myself that she was looking rather pale,' said the mother glancing up from her work.

I did not nouce it," said the Doctor, though I remember marking an un natural flush in her cheek when I met her, two or three days ago "She should take medical advice," said I^aura, looking down demurely "Sbe mav be neglecting dangerous symptoms." "Oh, I hardly think that," said the mother. "There is likely nothing wrong." •*I don't agree" with you," said the Doctor Impulsively. l/iura is right. She mrty be seriously in need of a doetor, yt: ioo proud or too poor to employ one,* Thftfjrmwt not be allowed to go on/*" "Why, Robert, where are vou going sud 1 aly cried Mrn.

But, c^nsln Robert, I would wait till I were asi* l." lau Laura as he was haster off. "How will you over the pr..i„ and .fv you hint.u at?"

Misa Reynolds looked at him in surprise, to which succeeded a smile of uaemen t. *Mav I aak whence you ol'iidnetl thia idea?'

'From my coualn I*ura.' The amile became a laugh, so merry and infectious, that he waa forced to join in it. 'It la well I am not Imaginative,' she said, still laughing, 'or your eouain Laura would make me patient Indeed. Look at me, Doctor: foel my pulse: make a full diagnosis, ana tell me you ever met a sounder or more healthful person.'

Ue gravely took her wrist in Ida tip gera, looking In her face with a glance In which professional acumen gave way to a warm interest, that called a slight flush to her cheek.

This tableau lasted but a moment when she gently but firmly drew her hand away. •I have no alekneaa,' ahe said, with a sad intonation, 'at least no aicknesa that is within the scope of your medicine. There are diseases that only time can cure, wliich are beyond the cure of

'I^ave no doubt there are,' he replied, 'though I do pot see wnai that lias to do with yonr case. You, with a quiet, pleasant life, that robust health of which you boast, opportunities for self-im-provement, intercourse with people of refinement, I cannot perceive what you lack necessary to happiness.' 'That is but the golden sldo of the shield. Doctor. I dwell here alone, in humble—what some would call a low posit ion. with patrons only, no riends—' •That is not fair, Miss Reynolds. My aunt and cousin feel the deepest friendshio for yon. I am yonr friend I am not here with the physician's .interest only, but with that ot the warmly devoted friend.' 'You have mv thanks for your interest, and fuller thanks for your polite ness.'

Politeness does not express the feeling that prompts my words,' said the Doctor, delighted with hor unwonted lack of reticence, though somewhat puzzled to know whether she were secretly laughing at him or not. 'But, my dear child, pains me to hear you apply the word low to mr position, with so inadequate a sense ol*all that it expresses. An! you can have n.» idea of its significance, even in a remote degree. I would not for the world have you comprehend a tithe of its full meaning. Could you see what I have seen of the results of drunkenness, of crime, of savage debasement, you would understand, as you cannot now, what is meant by the word vou liave used, and never again applv it to yourself in any sense.'

Miss Reynolds listened to his Impassioned woiV.

1

There was a shade of earnestness in her voice that taught him that he possibly might have oeen too hasty in his estimate of her experience.

Had any of her village frionds lieard her words", "jbeir surprise would have ext«eded that of her present auditor. .She had never to any of them hinted so plainly *of her past experience. For some reason of hor own, she had chesen to4ake him partly into her confidence It is doubtful if she anticipated the effect upon him. 'I would not for the world believe you in earnest,' he cried. 'Before I would see one like you in contact with sueh degradation, I would give my life to preserve your purity from the stain. I do not wish -to pry into your history, can only say that one like ^rou should have some protecting arm stretched between you and all misery and unwortui news 'some strong, manly soul, reaay and glad to turn aside from you all the baseness of the world.
