He had, alas! tarried too long at the feast of \Vine and fat things dispensed by !\Ir. Birtwell, and m his effort to restore the relaxed ten sion of his nerves by athuulation, had sent too sudden an impulse to ,his bra.in, a.nd roused it to morb1d action H.1s coffee failed to soothe the unqu1et nerve,, bis stomach turned !rom the food on which he had de· pended for a restoration of the equipoise which the night's exceaseA had 1 destroyed. 'l'he dangerous condition of M:ro. Ridley, and his forced visit to that lady m the early morning, when he should have been free fror~ all unusual effort and excitement, but added to hie disturbance. Dr Hillhouse knew all about the pre· vioua habits ol Mr. Ridley, and was much interested ln his case, He had seen with nope and pleasure tbe sleadmess with which he Vi'UB leading his ne\\ hfe, and "as beginning to have strong ft.Uth JD hIS future. Dut when he met b1m on that morning,he knew by unerring signs that the evemng at Mr Butwell'a had bten to lnm one of debauch iuatead of restrained conviviality. 'l,he extremity of his\\ ife's con<lxt1or1 1 and h1s almost msane appeals that he wpukl btJ!d her back from death, shocked still further _the doctor's alTcndy quivering nerves, The 1mmment penl m whtch Dr. Ihllhouse found l\lrs. Ridley, determm<id him to call in another physician for wnsultation. As twelve o'clock on that day had been fix· ed for the operation on ltlrs. Carlton, 1t was absolulely nece~sary to get bis tn1n<l as free as possible fron1 all causes of anxiety or ex~ citement, and the beat thing 1n th1s extremity was to get his patient intQ the tfnds of a hroth~r in the profession who could relieve bun tea1porarily from all respons1bil· 1 ty, and wutch the case -v; ith nll neeiled care iu its swiftly approaching crislH. So he sent lJr. Aug1er, iwn1ed1ately on his return fron1 Bis visit to Mrs. Ridley, \iith a rec1uest t~ Dr. A1osworlh, u phyaic.1an ot etandtog and experience, to meet han 1n consultation at ten o'clock. Premely at ten the physi01ans arrived at the house of Mr. Ridley, and were admitted by that gentleman, whose pale, haggerd, frightened face told of hie anguish and alarru. They asked Luu no que13tions, and be preceded them in silence to the chamber of bts !!llCk w1te, lt needed no second glance at then patient to tell the tlrn doct0rs that she v; as in great extremity l:lcr p1nchc d fnce was ashen in color and dan1p with a cold sweat, an<l her eyes, no longerwild and reatlesEr, lookctl piteous and anxious, as of 011e 1n dreadful e11ffermg who pleaded mute· kill her, I'm alraid.' 'Have you no word of Arcb1e yet 1' asked Dr. Hillhou·e, us he dropped tho hand he had been holdiug agarnst hlB forehead and temples. 'None 1 So far, \Ve are without a sign.' ' What are yoll doing 1' 'Ever~ thmg that can be thought of. Afore than twenty of our friend s, iu concert with \he pohee, are at work Ill all cot1ceivable ways to get trace of b1n1, but front the moment he left Mr. Birtwell'· he dropped out of sight as completely as 11 the sea hau gone over him. Up to this time not the smu.llest clue to this dreadful mystery has been found, But cowe1 tloctor. Evers moment is precious.' Dr. Htllhouse drew out his watch. It wae now nearly halt-past ten o'clock. Hts manner \·ta.a ucrvous, verging on to excite· wont. In almost any other case he would have s111d thnt It was not poss1b1c fur L1m to go. But the exigency and the peculiarly d1atress1ng circumstances 0ttend111g upon this made it next to impossible for bun Lo refuse. ~ 'At twelve o'clock, Mr. Voss, I have a iehcate and difficult operation to perform, o.nd I Lave tuo shor~ o. time now for the preparations I neeJ I nm sure you can re· ly fully on my assistant, Dr. Angier.' 'No, no I' rephed Mr. VoBB, waving hie · I do not want hand almost impatiently. Dr. Angier. you must see Mrs. V 088 your· .. work adversely thrn mormng.

Dr. Kline regarded him tor a few 1110ments, aud then said ~ Th1:i: ia unfortunate, doctor, and I would advise a postponement until to merrow. You should have had a morn1ng free trom anyth111 g but tlnnoportant calls.' ' Ou uo. I cannot thmk of a post· ponement,' Dr. Hillhouse replied. 'All the arrangements have been made nt Mr. Oailton'e, auJ iny patient is ready. To put it off for a single day m1ght cause a rea~tlon in her feelings and produce an uufavorable condition, It will huvc to be Jone to day.' 1 You must not tb1nk of keeping your ap· pointment to the hour,' aaul Dr l{hne,glancing at hie watch.

Don't hurry yourself m the shgbtcst degree Take all the tllne you need to make your· self ready. I will rmnarn nnd aas1s~ you as best I can,' A clear~sce1og .uld controlling nund was ,use needed at that mo· JU·t "bat Dr. Hillbr ment He saw the value of l>r.
