ever to meet again seemed OF even less
lilseiy, probability than the finding of
needle in haystack.
But, Raymond, there is no use i'll
your being SO obstinate about it. You
have fever, and your eyes are as CLASSY
as a cats in dark cellar-arnen't they,
Mrs Santelle p
Harry Livingston reached out to take
Raymond Santelle's hand to feel the
throbbing, irregular pulse.
Don't be fool, Harry! / fell you [
ana not sick-at least, beyondaa trifling
cold althongh@I won't be responsible
for an attack of brain fever if you and
Aunt Amy don't quit coddling me-"
"You see just how it is, Mr.. Living
ston. / can't do anything with him.
He's been just that contrary ever since
he came home the other night with a
chill, and l coaxed him to take hot lem
onade"
The little bright-eyed old lady looked
anxiously from her boys flushed face
to Livingston's~ half-earnest, half-mis-.
chievous one.
!" He always. was headstrong, you
know Don't you remember how dis
agreeably mulish he was when he came
home from Trevelyan Park couple of
years ago, and refused to go into socie
ty at all, even when he had come into
the snug little legacy his grandmother
Santelle turned frowninay to Liv-
ingston. - -4A y 81 1It ErEt p(l

hear you talk -" 4 HOO VI
Harry arose promptly, laughing.
"All right, I'll call again when you
are in better humor, Ray Mrs. San
telle, you promised 1to show me your
pelargoniums, I Think
The conservatory door had barely
closed on their heels when Livingston'si
levity vanished.
Mrs. Santelle, Ray is much sicker
man than you have any idea Of Can't
you see the terrible state of irritation
he has come to? Crossness and Ray
mond are not possible, as you know, and
IF you will take my advice and send for
a doctor you may save him sickness,
perhaps his life Send for Dr. Tremaine
or DR.. Winter, and tell whichever one
takes the case what you and [ have so
trouble on his mind"
Little Mrs Santelle was in condition
of almost helpless alarm after Mr.. Lily
ingston had gone.
1t had never occurred to her that Ray
was threatened with anything worse
than an Influenza, and Harry Living
ston was actually limiting at the brain
trouble #I{
She flew back to Rays dainty Little
sitting-room-things had changed so
with Ray since he had come in for five
thousand year-determined to tell
him doctor must be sent for to ask
him who he wanted.
She went in, in nervous alarm. to
find him lying, white and still, on the
lounge.
In the panic that emergencies always
are sure to create in nervous, loving
people, Mrs. Santelle breathlessly or
dered her one Servant-maid for her
physician.
Run-run to DR.. Winters, Annie, as
fast as you can, and tell him Mr.. San
telle is dying If he's not in go for
Tremaine-HOar-any body-only some
one must come at once Hurry, An
ME p I'll <. HCEs
And faithful, Jealous Annie tore wildly
round to find DIR. Winter out, DIR. Ire
maine out, and DR.. Hoar out.
What be goin' to do abbut it, and
him a-layin' as white as the piller and
the missus crazy? Idon'tknow Ma'am,
can you tell me where there'll be anoth-
er doctor?'
1t was sweet, thoughtful face Annie
had seen, and stopped to question the
owner ola dainty dressed lady, with
the darkest, saddest eyes Annie had
ever seen.
She smiled brightly
"Can be Of any use? If you are in
search of physician, and can find none
you are looking for, you can take me =; /
know som ething of medicine
Armies eyes were a. sight to be-
hold
/ Always big, greenish blue, and bulg-
ing, they grew bigger, more greenish
blue, and more bulging..
g You, miss The likes of you be
able to cure him." q r
The lady had stepped into her phae-
ton, beside a spruce-looking boy.
Shall go, or. not?'' s-es fa@
/ AIlIIlo gave uoI ~ uCo pdIulS look.
It's a man sick, miss, you'd not
care, nor be afraid-up at Byzantine
place. 90
A silvery laugh from the charming
little rosebud mouth as she gave the boy
the order-Eglantine place.
Neither afraid nor ashamed, I'll see
what I can do for your master"
She nodded pleasantly, and the ponies
and phaeton dashed off,
And so it was ordered by the powers
that be that when this charming, beau
tiful lady saw Raymond Santelle raving
in delirium, and made such common
sense diagnosis of the case, and gave
such practical advice to be followed until
Mrs. Santelle's physician should arrive
to take charge, in glow Of enthusiasm
Mrs. Santelle begged her to call and see
the sick man occasionally.
With very unwarranted, uncalled for
bushes the lady agreed to do SO, and as
