THE TWO MEETINGS.

A year had passed since Mrs. Gsstone
deserted her luxurious home for the love
Of stranger. Meanwhile, her broken
hearted husband had sought sssiduously
for her in that wilderness of houses and
people. Once during the winter he
had met DR.. Boyd and succeeded in
bringing him befOrs the proper authori-
ties. Mr.. Gsstone could produce no ev-
iisncs except his suspicious and the con-
tlnusd absence of his wife. and the Doc
tor was allowed to speak in his own de
fence. .-'- --fr5r1.s. .1l r 1saa.
DR.. Boyd stated that, he had no secrets
to preserve; his conduct-even his heart
was open for inspection, and trusted that
be should be able to prove himself what
he really wss-s man ofunsullied honor;
that the case Of this gentleman is certain
Ea bad one-no one could sympathize
with him more deeply than himself-but
ne was much mistaken in supposing him
sell to be the individual who had wrong

distracted state Of the gentlem ans mind,
