he went into his own room-that z Is,
the room ia which he generally 49,
sudden chill cane over him. It w.a
d'ngy; no question shout that. There
was general air Of dreariuess about i.
which annoyed him. Some month.
.go it had been comfortable enough.
but since then he had been called in,
much much to bis own amazemeut, by 81,
Francis Crevilion, to prescribe for that
geot)eman's ward and distant relative,
who was considered = confirmed invalid.
Dr.. Seeker had dispersed that theory
but then he had also fallen in love, and
now he began to think that he had
done . very mad thing. He looked at
the easy chair, covered with dingy
morocco, oposite to him and he found
it impossible to place there, even in
Imagination, the dainty form he had
seen in the moroiog room at Dykeh.m.
He could think of her there, but here
she was incongruous. : The doctors

"1f you remember" !" said Lady Crsvil1,
lon, ~ WY always sga,nst his being
called IN. Dr.. Guise has been the fami,
y physician long enough to be trusted,
one would think" -' :>-." r. = !
"Only Guise didn't cure Amy" re-
Piled Sir Francis, dryly. -. s-:. T.,
"How could he /? She Wa taken out
Of his hands. I dare s.y, if the truth
could be known, it was he who did the
real good" ..::.-., ,~.
"sosroely fair to Dr.. Seeker, Lady
Crevillon.", ~ ~. ~
This third speaker w, Mrs. Lesoa1,
tho Baronet's daughter by . former
marriage and she did not look to make
Ger moderatine remark, but went on
With her occupation Of teaching the
small future baronet to make fishing
flies.
"Its too cold yet, Frank. When
the weather gets warmer I'll come with
you down tho Dyke, aud see what we
can do" i
Amy looked At them al, unable to
speak. That Sir Francis should tell
bis wife about Gail was natural eoough !;
but that lady Crevillon should bring up
tho subject thus publicly, and speak Of
the doctor in such . way, vas too ip-
tolerable: Aud there was no one to
say word In defence Of. the absant,
except indeed, Joanna Lescar, whose
mild Interpolation fell upon Amy's 1is.
ing passion like oil on flames.
"Well,' resumed her ladyship, ''it
will be very annoying no doubt. To
take up a new doctor, and then discard
him for the old one, carries absurdity
and whim on the face Of it. All 1 can
say is that if my advice had been taken
it would never have happened"
Then Amy found words.
"Disoard whcm? What nonsense is
it you are all talking? What authority
has any one here to dispose of-my af-
fairs in this summary manner ?"
Mrs. Lescar raised her face from
Franks unskilful msuipul.tions to look
1t Amy. - l. g.. ~2
."What is tho use Of getting 50 excit-
cd about it Z" she sad to herself and
she added, aloud, "Gently, Amy; you
forget yourself" ,:'s.I i; =. f.
"Forget myself I;think 1 am for.
gotten, rather. Whist il it they neanl ?
Am l to have no voice ID the matter !!
It concerns me = little, I believe. Were
they legialated for in this sort Of Wy, I
wonder,-were you, Joanns, when you
married Mr.. Lescar9" ..
| For 20 young . widow Joanna was
very calm indeed, and even smiling.
about her answer. ,=.
THAT was altogether different. Dr..
Seeker has his way TO- make in. tho
world, and therefore tho two eases do
not admit Of comparison. But if I had
been legislated for, as you term it, l
| should have known that It va for INV
own good"
"1ti is not for my good" said ANY.
~ shall never be good .if-But I care
nothing about It; am not going TO
take back my promise because you oil
choose to sst mo aside Ike I pieoo Of
furniture or spoiled child
"My dear ANY," said Sir Francis,
"nobody accuses you Of being spoiled :
but are child. You are under age
and must remember ttat I am ,our
guardian. 1 am bound to say what
