makes him as ill as it does me,
have to air it, and sprinkle tn
lining with cologne water befor'
| he dares to put it on again.
1 had a terrible fright the Othe
night = dreadful. Orlando hat
| told me that business-I think he
said it was a case of life and deatf
would detain him late. So
sat up as usual, with a book, anC
did not worry until one O'Clock
After that I was little anxious
I confess, and caught a cold in
my head peeping through the
lUp.stairs window blinds for
/ dear aunt, it was not until three
! O'Clock that [ heard q cab driving
Up he street and saw it stop al
ogr door; then I thought [ should
faint, for [ was sure some dread
fol accident had happened to Or
lan8O.
I Iran down to open the door; a
friend of Orlando's, who is not, I
confess, very much to my tas 5e-
such a red faced, noisy man-was
just supporting my dear boy up
the steps.
ooh, what has happened p"
cried 1.
Don't be frightened, Mrs.
Whiter said Mr.. Smith. "Noth-
ing at all; only White is a little
exhausted. Application to busi-
ness will exhaust a man, and /
thought Pd bring him home."
"All right. Belle" said Orlando,
''Smith tells the truth-Pm eX-
hausted."
And, dearest aunt. he was so
much so that he spoke quite
thick, and couldn't stand up with
out tottering. Mr.. Smith was
kind enough to help him up
stairs; and he lay upon the bed
so PROSTATE that l thought he was
going to die. Then remember
ed the French brandy you gave
me in case of sickness. l ran to
get it out.
"Have a little brandy and
water, dear?" I said.
'The very thing. Smith is ex-
hausted, too. Give some to
Smith /" seid he.
and SO ! rcDroached myself
for not having thought Of il be-
fore Mr. Smith was gone. But I
gave d glass to OrlaniO, and, un-
der Providence, | Think it saved
his life; for, oh, how BAD ne was
"Belle," said ne quite faltering
in his speech, "the room is going
round so fast that L can't catch |
your eye. And, besides, there's
two of you, and l don't know
which is which,"
/ knew these were dreadful
symptoms.
"1'ake drink, DEAR" said I,
'and I'll try to wake Mary, and
send her for the Doctor"
mo-" said he, ''I'll be all right
in the morning. Pm all right
now. Here's your health. You
are brick. Z" And over
ne fell, fast asleep.
Oh, why do men think so much
IF money-making? Is not health
better than anything else?
OF course, as he had lain down
n his hat, 1 took that off first.
And l managed to divest him of
lis coat. But when it came to
lis boots-dearest aunt, did you
ever take off gentleman's boots?
not, as you are a single
ady-what a task? How do they
ret them on? / pulled, and pull
I'd, and shook and wriggled, and
gave it up. But it would not do to
cave them on all night; so [ went
1t ft7agaif1, and at last one came off
80 suddenly, that over [ went on
he floor, and into his hat, which
had put down there fcr min
Ite. I could nave cried. And /
he other came off in the same
way, just as hard and just as
at last. Then 7 put a soft !
over Orlando, and So in
ny sewing chair al night. Oh, |
1ow heavily ne bseathed! Aud
had. rs you may fancy, the most
1readful fears. He mighL have
killed himself by his over-ap-
olication in business, for all that
[ knew. The perfect ones go first
t is said.
Oh, how differently should 1
lave felt had anything happened
% my beloved Orlando! He has
lot had so eXhausting a day1
ince, and l think he sees the
oily of over-Work though if
