Grey's aspect, and his tone intimated that II
Pierce did not follow his advice, he would
certainly speak himself.
Give me little time, sir Oh! if you
! knew the winsome thing she was-the pretty
winsomc thing. No one remembers that
but me- They could never have proved it
against Mr. Arthur. I was well aware Of
that, sir" 5s.3. +. is.,i. i@ tfil II
"a man might as well be dead as carry
Gains mark upon him. 1t will be safer to
confess now than to keep silence, for he will
not bear IL any longer in peace" The doc
tor gently shook the reins, and turned out
through the old Abbey gateway, in the open
court within which, secure from listeners,

The church bells were ringing for morning
service at Allen Bridge, and all the respec-
table population of the little town were
troopng across the market-place to the wide
open doors, when DR.. Gray set fourth on his
Sunday round. He was sprucer in his dress,
as became the better days, but working,
with him, had often to stand for praying,
and it was rarely he saw the inside of Il
church, His district extended far and wide
amongst the hills, and he went on his mission
of healing as sednonsIv % tbe crinnled
broom-maser who lived b;qb unop tho moor
near Pedlar's Bones, as he did to the we'll

their comfortable being in the rich lowlands

and was making tour of the lawn, with
the aid of Pierce's arm and stick. He
looked delegate, but fresh and almost gay.
Pierce was as usual desolate and respectful.
"This is good move" said the doctor.
"You will soon color again in the air your
skin takes kindly to the tan. Exchange
Pierce's arm for mine few minutes.
The servant resigned his office and re-
tired, his master looking after him with a
counteuance almost of conjunction. stHe
