Dr. Darling’s face became graver. He relinquished the lady's hand, and answered, “Very ill. It seems to me that he can’t; live more than a day or two.” began. The doctor shook his head. “ I’m afraid it’s useless to ask that,” he said, with a. touch of sympathy in his voice. “ I did hint at your wish, but I could do no good.” He did not think it necessary to add that the ill-conditioned old man had ordered his niece and her children to be packed otf as soon as possible. “ Then I may as well go back to town. I shall have had my journey for nothing,” said the widow, beginning to cry again quietly. ,. n L 1 , , u. "’ flair] +kn r‘nr‘fnl‘ v‘ “fien’t: don’t,” said the doctor, patting the back of her hand. Let’s change the subject. So these are your children, Mrs. Druce! Dear me 1 I can hardly believe it. Will you come and speak to me, my little man 2” The poor woman brightened up directly; if her tears came rather readily they were never long a-drymg. iShe was proud of her offspring, and would have talked of them for an hour. ll ‘A_‘ -u “An-A ‘?\Vhy shouldn’t you visit your mother-in-law since you are here ’l” he suggested. “I know what you would} say; but she may be inclined to let bagoues be begones. She lives all alone in a. great, half empty house. If she were to ask you and the children to stay for a week or two, it would do you all a great deal of good. Good-bye.” The kind hearted doctor saw that his advice would be followed, and he rode straight into Blatherwick co prepare ‘the old lady for her daughter-inâ€"lmv’s l arrival. Hardly had the door of the manor-i house closed upon Mrs. Druce and herll family when a tall, dark-haired girl peeped out of the dining room, and then walked out into the great stone- paved hall. There she met a young1 man, as unlike herself as he could pos- sibly be; for Mr. \Valter Grigsby was small, light-haired, almost feminine in appearance. They were both connec-i tions of Mr. Dalton. Georgiana Hawkins. that was the girl‘s name, had , lived at Manor Cross for the last 12 l months, and Grigsby was her accepted lover. “Have you seen them, Georgie?” aid the young man in a. low voice. “No,” Said the girl with a shudder; mannered. gawky children. What can they want here?” The young man smiled. “ I fancy she wanted to see your uncle.” (The word uncle was a. courtesy title merely, the connection being in reality much more distant.) “The idea !” exclaimed Georgiana, H her dark spoke. $9030. “ I suppose she really hoped to make him alter his will. But there’s no cance of that, is there '1” “ I should think not ! I would never allow such a. thingâ€"that is, I think I have influence enough to prevent such an act of injustice as that. She took her own way when she married that London attorney, and it is simply mean of her to try to sneak back into uncle’s good graces now.” ~~=J “Atlxznfl 31‘.

No other visitors came. to Manor Cross that day, except grooms who rode over to inquire politely for the squire.

Her engagement with young Grigsby had been formed soon after this change in the young lady’s fortune. Mr. Dalton had given a kind of grumbling assent to the match, but it was quite understood that there was to be no wedding until after‘ the old man’s death. Thanks to Mr. Darling’s arguments, | Mrs. Druce, Sn, consented to invite her daughter-in law and the children for three or four weeks. Her husband, like her son, had been a solicitor, and she still lived in the large, old-fashioned house in Blatherwick in which the legal business had been carried on. There was room enough in it- for any number of children. On the third day after this visit began, Mr. Jonathan Dalton died. At Dr. Darling’s suggestion Mrs. Druce was invited to attend not only the funeral, but the scarcelyr less imâ€" portant ceremony that was to followâ€"â€" the reading of the will. The widow would gladly have declined these in- vitations, but the doctor advised and finally persuaded her to accept them both. Old Mrs. Druce, “for the sake of the family,” as she Openly avowed, bade her daughter-in-law go to Miss Easy, the Blatherwick dressmaker, and get a new mourning bonnet and dress ;‘ so that, after all, the poor woman was able to present a respectable appear- ance on the occasion. After the funeral the late squire’s lawyer. Mr. Pusey, his executors, Georgiana and' her lover, with Mrs, Druce and her staunch friend, Dr. Darling, assembled in the library at . the Manor house to learn what Mr. _ Dalton had done with his property, ,.and, af:er a fitting silence had been ”obtained, Mr. Pusey took out the will E,and began to read it. Mrs. Druce, who expected nothing, was hardly listening to the lawyer’s words. She looked very nice in her new black clothes. Her silky, fair hair shone like gold under her bonnet ; the country air had brought a tinge of color to her smooth cheeks “She would grow quite plump, I believe, if it were not her poverty, poor thing.” said the doctor to himself with a. sigh, as he glanced at her and thought how like Mrs. Druce was to the Ada Dalton whom he remembered. i Suddenly he heard her name spoken by Mr. Pusey. The widow herself had heard it and started. “Was she to have I a thousand pounds after all ? Georgiana land Waltertfvrigeby were listening with lall their ears, a. look of undisguished i anxiety on their faces. Mrs. Druce was very pale; her heart was beating so that it hurt her. The. dry, monotonous tones of the lawyer’s voice went on : “ And I bequeath to my niece, Ada. Druce, who has married against my express command and desire, the sum of one shilling sterling” The insult might have been spared ; but Jonathan Dalton could not foresee that Ada. would come, a. forlorn widow, to listen to the reading of the will. The poor woman trembled visibly, and burst into tears. The doctor rose, marched up to her, and gallantly led her out of the room. '1 here was much that was pathetic, but there was also something a little comical in this incil dentâ€"something which made people who remained in the library cover their ilips with their fingers and look down- ward that they might not be seen to smile. Dr. Darling led Mrs. Druce into the little parlor where he had seen her eight days before. - '1‘- Oh.“ Dr. Darling!” she cried “I am so ashamed of myself. ‘ What will they all think of me 9.” “ Never mind that, Ada. It was natural that you be disappointed.” “ It’s very hard to bear. He might have left me a. thousand pounds, don‘t you think? It would have been a great thing for me- and the poor children.” mm; nay Suspected.

' The Whale Dxdn’t Know What He Mis‘sed. A sperm whale forty feet long got over the bar at Ocean City during the high tide several nights ago and was left high and dry on the beech by the receding water.
