nes a very prince in disguise / won

\ Is only chiyalrous courtesy Mr.. Santelle
/ 1eels, and | won't be fool if he has cot
the most heavenly smile and the hand
soonest eyes ! ever saw, but III see him
again before he leaves, and"
But Ida Neldt did not see him again
before he left Trevelyan Park, for Mr..
Santelle did not remain over one train,
and when Ida returned from her gallon
over the breezy country roads. with her
checks glowing, her hair wind-blown
over her face, like mist of spun gold.
and her bronze, dark eyes eloquent with
the strange, half-sweet, half-sad thoughts
she could not understand. RAYMOND
Santelle was separated from her, bv fate
and the railroad, so many miles that
ever to meet again seemed of even less
likely probability than the finding of a
needle in a haystack.
But, Raymond, there is no use in
your being so obstinate about it! You
have fever, and your eyes are as CLASSY
as cats III dark celar-arnen't they,
Mrs. Santele?'
Harry Livingston reached out to take
raymond Santelle's hand to feel the
throbbing, irregular pulse.
Don't be a fool, Harry tell YOU
am not sick-at least, beyond a trihing
cold-although | 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 u
chill, and | coaxed him to take hot lem
onade."
The little bright-eyed old lady looked
anxiously from her boys flushed face
to Llvlngston's halfearnest, 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
| left him ~
Santelle turned frowningly to Liv-
| ingston.
If you knew how it annoyed me to
hear you talk
Harry arose promptly, laughing.
"All right, I'll call again when you
are i'll a better humor, Ray. Mrs. san
telle, you promised to show me your
! pelargOnlums, | think "
The conservatory door had barely
closed on their heels when Livingston's
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
n doctor you may save him a sickness,
perhaps his life. Send for Dr. Tremaine
or DR.. Winter, and tell whichever one
takes the case what you and have SO
often imagined-that Ray has some
trouble on his mind"
Little Mrs. Santelle was in condition
of almost helpless alarm after Mr.. Lv-
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
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 Il 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
tele is dying. If he's not in 90 fol
Tremaine-Hoar--anybody-only some
one must come at once Hurry, An
ME ~
And faithful, Jealous Annie tore wildly
round to find Dir. Winter out, DIR. Ire
name 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? | don'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
I search of a physician, and can find none
you are looking for, you can take me ; !
know something of medicine"
