and at twenty she was still happy IN

But the smooth run OF me S wheels
was interrupted at last and the wheels
were Jolted out OF Ihelr usual track; Tor
about thlS time there came TO inc VII
lage a young surgeon who was looking
out for good opening for practice and
had decided to settle down here AS
matter OF course he and Matte often
met IN the houses OF the poor, and,
although moi word OF love passed be-
tween them, people began to associate
their names together, and to speak
OF what might happen as certainty.
One day when Matte was, as usual,
among her roses, II servant came to say
that Doctor Robertson had asked for
her father, and as he was from home,
for her. when she entered the room
with her basket OF roses ON her arm,
the doctor might well be excused if he
wondered winch were the talrer-the
roses in the basket or the rose with the
basket II such thoughts passed through
his mind he quickly put them aside, for
he said:
81 came to ask Mr. Gardner If he
would step down to old Silas Jones, who
is very i'll with fever. They are very
poor, and any help you could give
them would be OF more use than mcdi-
cine. :"
''Papa is from home, she said, land
will not return till tomorrow. But |
will take them some beef-tea and port,
if you think that would be good for
him"
Moaning could be better" said the
doctor. "But you must not 60 there
yourself, for fear of infection. | am
going past the house, and will take
them myself if you will give them to
me-
"No, thank you, Doctor" said Miss
Matte. 81 never shirk my duty nor
delegate it to others, so | will take them
myself"
Anyway, let ME walk with you if
you are going now, and we can talk
about the case as we 60"
In few minutes the becf-tea and the
wine was ready and Matte sailed forth
with the doctor. And this was the way
they talked about the case;
ITS beautiful gay, isn't it''
"Glorlous! sad Matte
"What has become OF you in the
evenings latelyF l used to see you fre-
quently, but now you are never to be
seen.
"Mlnnie mas not been well lately SO
! have stayed at home on her account.
1t is pleasant to know that some one
misses me- she sald' laughlngly.
