"1 am so sorry." "lt is most unfortunate," exclaimed Mrs. Fame and Mrs. Hayley together. "For me, utterly unfortunate.

"I hope the sun will come out.

The local doctor insisted on treat- tng the injury as decidedly serious. and though Mrs. Bayley stoutly contested this opinion. she found it practically im- possible to disobey his sentence of Be. clusion and repose. All that the kind- eat fortrthough could devise to lighten her imprisonment was provided by Mrs. Fane and eagerly seconded by Violet Onslow, who postponed n promised visit "I will see to it. (lot"'ty-by for the pre- trent;" this with a lingering look. which suggested to Mrs. Fane the reflection, "I think he is getting over his objection to me," and having seen her swallow a little sherry. Carrington and his division of the party drove rapidly away. Nt wag only the start of seeing her fall," said Mrs. Fane, her color returning quickly, for the tone of imperious ten- derous in his voice and manner affected her strangely. “I fancied she was more seriously hurt. Do send for a doctor as soon as you reach St. Cutlbberta. She fancies she can manage herself. but I wish her to be properly cared for." "Don't worry yourself too much," said Carrington aside to Mrs. Fume, with the kind of familiar interest which seemed curiously natural. "You are look. ing as white as the foam down there. 1 must insist on your taking a glass of wine." It was soon arranged that Miss On- slow, Carrington, and Kenneth Morton should drive on quickly in the pony car- riage and have due preparations made at the hotel for the arrival of the sufferer, and that Mm. Pane and Dr. Methvin should accompany Mrs. Bayley in the doctor's carriage, .where an impromptu couch was made up to keep her foot in . horizontal position. I But the physical suffering was as . nothing compared to the carefully hidden tempest of wrath, against herself and her ill-luek, which raged in the suffemr’s heart. If she had only resisted that spite- ‘ful impulse to interrupt Mrs. Fame and Carrington in their tote-a-tete explora- tions, she would not only have escaped pain and discomfort, but the worst re- sult of a fortnight or three weeks of helplessness, during which in infinitude of mischief might be done, and Morton absent. too! There never was anything so unfortunate; still her only plan was to make the best of it, and instil what poison she could into Mrs. Fane'a mind against Carrington. Whatever happened, she must keep cool and free from fever, either of mind or body. Meanwhile, un- der her directions, and with the help of a. small silk scarf she had round her throat, Mrs. Fane contrived a. very suc- cessful compress; and, before long, CO]- onel Carrington reappeared with a chair and bearers. followed by the ex-profetr-, em, Miss Onslow. and Kenneth, all full' of dismay and sympathy. . i " .. _P__..V ....,,......, ......- - __ WV...” 'Oh, no. Pray don't lose any time; go as fast as you can," cried Mrs. Fame, who was kneeling on the shingle at Mrs. Bayley’s feet. "She must be in dread- ful pain." "PII return as quickly as I can.

"It is not a. very bad sprain, I hope," she said, as Carrington helped her to I very convenient stone. “You must get a chair or something to carry me on, and some men, for I am no trif1ing weight. Just get off my boot before the foot swells, my dear Mrs. Fane. Then take your handkerchief to that lit. the rill trickling over the rocks up there, and we'll manage a. cold eompress" Much as Colonel Carrington disliked Mrs. Hayley, he could not help approving the fortitude with which she bore con- siderable suffering, and the intelligence with which she suggested measures for her own relief. She rose and began to scramble to- wards the entrance of the cave as last as she could. when a treacherous stone gave way as she stepped upon it, and she fell to the ground in great pain. Her foot twisted under her, and her ankle was severely sprained. The conse- quemes of this unfortunate accident ar- rayed themselves formidably before her mind's eye; she screamed loudly for help, and Mrs. Fume and Carrington came quickly out of the darkness to her Is- sistnuce.

I lay with my face toward the wall when some insistent and irret sistible force compelled me to turn ti ward my door. A light wss alwa.‘ burning-in each hall of the house and there was sufficient coming through the transom over my door for me to see clearly all the familiar objects in my room. As I looked I saw distinctly a woman standing as though she had just come through the door, though I knew it wss locked. She had on a white bed gown, quite short (for I could see her white stockings and black cloth low shoes), 9. black Petticoat and tb little gray shawl across her shoulders. Her hair was white and her face was the most pitiful 1 had ever seen; it was pal- lid and wasted as though with a long sickness, and as I looked at her she wrung her poor, thin hands and said: "Mary, oh! Mary! don't let them"--- and that was all. _ When I reached my room at night I was usually too tired to worry much about what might be going on in the room below me. One night in the winter I was even more than usually tired. I locked my door as usual, fastened my one window, which looked into the yard, turned out the gas and got into bed. I had not slept long when I heard some one call, "Mary! oh, Mary'." in such a troubled voice that I thought it must be the cook or houseuuthl taken sudden- ly ill. I jumped out of bed and answer- ed, "Yes, I'm coming! What’s wanted?” I opened my door and looked into the hall, but could see no one; nobody wu about on my floor. I Like most young girls I was intensely (afraid of the laboratory, and usually ran must it, holding my breath and keeping may eyes shut tight; the older women 'had told me tales of the grewaome con. tents of the bottles and jars on the shelves; of the skeleton of a man hanged in Moyamensing, of skulls of notorious criminals and the thousand and one things that only mean horror to a young girl. Only once did 1 look into this chamber of horrors, and that was on a. clear winter's afternoon, when I had run upstairs for something forgotten. But all I law then wan a. detached bathtub which stood near I. door on the opposite side of the room. Thin door, I learned, opened on a narrow staircase which ran down the opposite wall of the house into the yard. When I was a. young woman I WM seamstress in the family of Doctor B-, who was one of the most prominent and ablest doctors in Philadelphia; his home was a three-storey house in Walnut street, below Tenth, and was built, as were most of the houses at that time, with a. back stairway which practically cut the house in two. On the second floor was a. large bathroom, and adjoin- ing this the doctor had a smaller room fitted up as a laboratory.

For two hours I lay in a late of wretch. edness, unable to make up my mind whether to order a doctor, surgeon or Optician, or simply save the middleman and see the undertaker at once. I don't know that I should have decided on had I not by chance raised my head from the pillow. Instead of violent shooting pains All was peaceful. This gave me hope. I put one leg out of bed and didn't feel 3. bit dizzy. Then I stuck the other out, and at that moment the boarding misses shouted up the stairs: "Come along; dinner's almost remix." t got up " once, and opened the out. "Mrs. Fitzhnrris," I called, 'Tm feeling better; I'll be down at once."

The very term “cheerful invalid" is a misleading" one. The fact is the apparent cheerfulness is a symptom of his com. plaint. The more sick some people be. come the more humorous they seem to get. I do myself. I remember once lying in bed in a boarding house. The reason I lay there on this occasion was be. cause I was too sick to get up. At last I heard the welcome sound of the board- ing mistress coming to see what was the matter. Mentally I prepared an accur- ate account of my sufferings. It was valueless, no sooner did I begin to re- peat them than I found myself utterly unable to be solemn. The boarding mis. tress talked for a while of cases like mine which had ended fatally.
