If she died, the Brethertons wou‘d never forgive him. If she lived! Well, if she lived, she could never be anything to him; he was but laying his work. Once, when he was taking down letters for Fisher, his mind wandered, and he forgot to answer; Fisher spoke to him sharply. _"Where in the world are your thoughts, Evans?" _ ay was quite late. He had had no tea, but that he forgot. He was amazed to find that his steps had led him to the Fishers‘ house.

She had done her best to get up a firtation with him. She had sung sentimentai songs one after the other in the drawingâ€"room, where artfully shaded lights threw up her beauty to wonderful advantage. David sat in a big chair in the shadows, and listened. At least, she supposed he was listening, but, as a matter of fact, his thoughts were far enough away. Where was Mary? Day and night he thought of her, and wondered and worried. Now and then, when the plaintive voice and nmuasic at the piano ceased, he roused himse‘lf with an effort, and said, "Thank youâ€"thank you very much," in an absent sort of voice. Dora was piqued; she rose from the piano stool with a litt‘e petu‘ant moveâ€" ment. s CHAPTER LIX. MARY Is DYING.

He sat up a litte from his lounging position, and tried to make conversaâ€" tion; but Dora was discouraged; she had expocted a better reception from him; his evident effort to talk to her irritated her; she answered him shortâ€" iy and snappily. What was he mads of, she asked kerself angrily, that he stood so aloof from her? She did not realize that when a man cares docply for one woâ€" man all the wiles and seductions of anothor will pass him harmlessly. Perkaps both worg really thankfui when a.dversion was created by the evening past; a maid brought the letâ€" ters and gave them to Dora. She sorted them through carelessly. "On‘y one for yon,*David.

She lcooked at it curiousy as she, spoke; she handed it over to him with‘ evident reluctance. t | In her heart she was beginning to despair of ever making a tonquest of this man. It was her first failure, and she bitter‘y resented it. Dora watched him covertly. She saw the quick litt‘e frown that creased his brow ; the sudden start he gave. ¢ "May I open it now?" asked David.

"If you will excuse me, I must see Monty at once." Dora gave a litte chagrined laugh. "I hope it isn‘t any bad news. Iâ€"" It was just then that young Evans rang the front doorâ€"bell. The servant came into the room as David was leaving it. "A roung gentleman to see you, sir, please," she spoke to David. "He said it was most urgent. His name is Evans, please, sir." "Evans!" David echoed the word at first blankly, then with increasing inâ€" terest. "Evans, I will come and speak to him." He made a hurried apology to Dora, and went out,closing the door behind him. "Not at all; come in Mr. Fisher‘s study; perhaps you will not mind his being present." Young~*Evars stood in the hall. lHe locked nervous and ili at ease.

A celebrated botanist, Bernard de Jusâ€" sieu, visited Palestine in 1737, and was struck by the stately appearance of the trees on Mount Lebannon. He selected a tiny sapling, and, for lack of a better "pot," filled his hat with the native soil, planted his young cedar, and brought it away. Voyages were slow in those days, Voyages were slow in those days, and the botanist‘s vessel wase driven out of its course by galés. Even the drinking water became scarce, and there would have been none for the precious plant had not the botanist shared his ration with it. He was in danger of a serious breakdown in health when the ship arrived at Marâ€" selllies, but the tree still lived. The Exciso authorities then made trouble, thinking that Jussieu‘s jealous care of his batful of soll meant that it concealed some dutiable article..
