please get from the lower drawer of the

and dispose it carefully beside me-
why, you don't want to impress him
with sense of your piety, do you?'
No: Lut the dark purple velvet and the

Everything was arranged nicely, bat
not without bringing flush to Kate s
cheek, which was deepened by the sound
of gentIeman's step on the stairs.
'She has fine color remarked the
physician. .
She was very pale when I left her half
an hour ago ...... -
That red spot has come on her cheek
within few minutes remarked Emma;
'it must be fever; 0 dear!
OF course it was necessary for the hand
some young Doctor to take his PATIENTS
hand IN order to ascertain this fact. Some
futtering of the pulse he remarked. =
The needful questions were asked and
answered, and writing harmless pre-
scriptiou, he. left, saying he would call
next morning. ...
DO you think she is really i'll? asked
Miss - in the hall.
"A few hours will decide that, madam;
there is fever in the neighborhood, and |
think it best to watch carefully the first
symptoms of disease
Il had no idea that DR.. x. was out
of town, or would not have sent there,
said the lady in vexed tone, as the door
closed upon him. i don't like that hand
some young Doctor coming to the school;
he won't make many visits
AS for the young physician, he went
home to muse on the interesting case be-
fore him. Let me See-symploms" lie
said this over twice, but went no further,
He rs most anxious to prove himself
skilful in detecting the nsidious ap-
proaches of disease; but in this case 1T
was difficult to do so. Could she be
shamming?' ho asked himsclf-hardly, for
they had no idea my uncle was from home,
and she must know it would be difficult to
take him in
EN-, didn't carry it on well?'
Very
Come, it's time you were seized, too;
"misery loves company" you know
We'll, III come up from my music In
very bad way :,
. Wher next the Doctor called he found
two patients to prescribe for. 1t was said
the house, Emma is sick Fl ON
sympathy with Kate
Kate, we were fools not to have laid in
a stock of good things against this emer-
gency,' said Emma, as she nibbled at the
dry toast on the tray before her. Il de-
clare am so hungry that | could eat
pound of beetsteak and half dozen eggs,
| believe
Never mind, well bribe some of the
little girls to get us something Rosa
will do it if promise to make her doll a
new dress. Let us make out our bill of
fare. What say you to sardines|
I'D rather have picked oysters
We'll, we'll have both, and some fruit
cake and tarts.'
And maccaroons.'
The little girls were easily prevailed
upon to execute the commission and ''not
to TELL" and the next time the Doctor
called it is not surprising that he found
bis patients with good deal of fever, and
an appearance about the eyes that indi-
Gated disordered state of the system.
'They have eaten nothing to-day but
div toast said Miss - in answer to his
query; but the Doctor detected flush
upon the faces of the girls as she spoke,
and drew from thence his own inferences;
for his sister had been an inmate of a
and had let him into
some secrets which can only be gained by
a residence there, He began to have an
inkling of how matters stood, and when
one Of his patients said TO him, in low
tone, that her worst feelings were about
the middle of the afternoon, he told her
he would call in at that time, though he
knew it was the hour at which Miss -
always walked. 1t was certainly very
neglectful in him not TO inform her of his
intention to come at that hour, when he
knew that she had been called out of that
room just in time to miss hearing the
part of the conversation between him and
his patients. i-.....y .. ..-- .
